LIfe is funny. We all know that! Just when we think we can't go on and not sure what direction to turn suddenly God sends us a blessing. Today as we watched Governor Walz address Minnesota and shutdown our business until May 1st, I think it's safe to say we (Erin and I) were instantly overcome with sadness, fear and frustration. We weren't sure what to do next. We weren't sure what emotions to let the kids see and we weren't sure the answers to hardly any questions.
Hope had suddenly been lifted from our souls and from our lives, but since we have four kids and no choice but to figure out our next move we instantly starting figuring out the next step....the dreaded loan!! I can't put into words exactly how it happened, but I know that the moment I started filling out the paperwork I began to receive texts from clients offering to help pay other people's debts, friends asking for us to truly pursue online class offerings and best of all and most glorious of all, hope began to reform in my soul. That's what people do for one another. We lift each other up. We bring others up when they are down, we share our hope and blessings and we interact with one another. This week has been just as interesting for us as it has been for everyone else. I've been forced and blessed to take meetings online. We've restarted the process of taking our group fitness classes online and I've connected with people that I might have never connected (or reconnected) with. I'm a person that needs human interaction. I love communicating, brainstorming and learning from and with others. So when the social distancing guildelines went into effect I felt my soul shift. But the way it shifted surprised me. My wife and kids are my driving force, they are motivation and they are necessary for my daily existence, but I'm guilty of not always showing them or expressing that to them. So when we shut down Evolve U and began to stay at home with one another I literally felt my soul's fire begin to reignite and my love for them all begin to grow. Staying at home with them, while financially has been scary, I believe it was God's way of saving and growing relationships. Being under one roof has brought life back into our family and maybe even saved it in some ways. In times like this we begin to communicate and live with the people whom we truly love. The people who were bringing us anxiety, anger and sadness have suddenly (hopefully) exited our lives. And their exit has opened the door for love to explode for the ones that deserve our attention and our love. So let's do that! Let's share the love with those who deserve our blessings. Let's reach out a helping hand, a text or a phone call to those that TRULY matter in our lives. Let's begin our new normal with a momentous and intentional shift of our energy, our minds and our hearts. Until tomorrow my friends........NAMASTE
