Truly, it’s time for a change of pace. The fire in our hearts may have struggled to shine ever since the community quarantine started, but hopefully we can find the strength to keep the fire burning and strive to be a light for others.
Physical distancing won’t keep us down, we can altogether, Rise as One. Together we can gain a better understanding of what we can amid the community quarantine. As we learn more about ourselves, we can take a more holistic approach to empowered protection.
