COT

Spoke about those who are doing it tough in the world right now, not just because of COVID-19 but from a physical, mental, emotional or spiritual challenge. Encouraged PAX to check in with someone, ask them ‘are you ok?’ and get closer to people at a time when we are all being told to distance ourselves. Wanted to acknowledge that many were already dealing with personal issues before the outbreak of COVID-19.


Moleskin

Q learned that ‘doing it tough’ (translation: to be struggling) is not a term used in this part of the world.
The smell of freshly baked donuts from across the street at Julie Darling was very real.
