<strong>August</strong> is traditionally the time Minnesotans focus on enjoying<br />
the final days of summer before school begins, shop for<br />
our children’s new clothes and school supplies, and attend<br />
our family reunions, weddings and other large events. Yet <strong>2020</strong><br />
continues to throw our plans out the door with the uncertainty<br />
caused by COVID-19.<br />
As humans, we strive for certainty—we innately want stability—<br />
to know what to expect. At this time in our country, in our world,<br />
Candi Broeffle<br />
we do not have that luxury. The stress that is caused for all of us is<br />
great, but the stress for parents with school-aged children is intensified.<br />
They are responsible for making the best choices for their children, and the worry of<br />
making the wrong decision weighs heavily on their minds. If their school determines<br />
in-person learning is appropriate, they need to determine whether they should send their<br />
child or keep them home. If their own livelihoods are contingent on their child going<br />
back into the classroom, they are left without much of a choice.<br />
As a small business owner and a business coach who works with business owners, I<br />
understand our need to get back to work. Many businesses have already closed and more<br />
will not survive through the end of the year. This not only impacts their employees, but<br />
it impacts their own families. Business owners are going into debt to pay their creditors<br />
and the employees who they love and are responsible for, while not being able to pay<br />
themselves a wage. The business that they have spent years building can be gone in a<br />
matter of months.<br />
Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to the problems we face. However, I am<br />
confident that we can do better and circumstances are providing the opportunity. We are<br />
creative, innovative and caring. Instead of focusing on making sure our opinion is right, we<br />
can be flexible, open to hearing the other side, move beyond duality and come together<br />
to help each other become wiser and more “whole”-istic, both individually and collectively.<br />
We are not perfect—we will stumble and perhaps make mistakes—but with unity, consciousness<br />
and heartfelt intent, we will learn. I’m willing to give it a try. Will you?<br />
Wishing you wellness,<br />
