Message from Carie:

I think I’ve been experiencing “stages of grief” … (I’ve definitely gone through anger!) … and I’m grieving the “loss of life as we know it” even though it might not be a permanent loss.

But please remember what’s Going Well.

Think about it: we really don’t have much control, we don’t have a crystal ball, and we’re all kind of on the edge of our seats waiting to see what will happen. The only thing we DO have control over is our mindset (and even that’s a moving target). So take care of what you can, to the best of your ability in any given moment.

Think about whatever warms your heart and share a smile. Stand strong in your greatness, reflecting similar to others.

Blessings, Carie King (SWC class of 2010 :-)
