A point at which a crucial decision must be made that will have far- reaching consequences.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Life is built because of them.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ethical decisions, the right and wrong – these crossroads create the story of who we are and will one day tell.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And here we stand – a person, a business, a hospital, a community, a city, a state, a nation, a world.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I see my road – the path I choose – on it stands my amazing sister, a hospital nurse; my brother in law, an incredible soul who lives with asthma; my father who is probably my favorite person in this world, and my dear empathic friend, a hospital administrator, who is literally fighting like hell to make sure people have what they need while making tough calls to protect their frontline caregivers.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So as of this moment, right now, as a small business owner, I am closing up shop – for my loved ones, for your loved ones, for our healthcare systems, and for the communities.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We will be back as soon as we can; and I think there may be a slight demand for some self-care when we get to the other side of this, so we will see you then.

And know, “There’s no telling when this will be over, or how it will unfold—there are good things happening everyday too, focus on them.”-spiritdaughter
