Resources

At this time I am prioritizing articles and websites that have been helpful for me in maintaining wellbeing during the time of COVID 19.

I’ve grouped the resources into three categories. I’ll provide a brief introduction to each resource and why it has been important to me. Feel free to forward to my email any pieces you think might be helpful to others.

A. Information that helps me understand and respond responsibly to the physical realities of the virus.

B)  Resources relevant to the Big Picture opportunities – political, social, emotional –  offered by the ‘trigger event’ of the global pandemic.
