A year like no other, the unparalleled Coronavirus impact since March of this year. A year for recalibrations; who needs a new mindset for 2021?

Who Needs A New Mindset for 2021?

We all agree that 2020 was an unprecedented year with COVID-19 globally. Our time, the recalibrations, how some of us socially gather, travel, dine out, and our health appointments/fitness routines.

2020,a year like no other

My thought back in March as COVID-19 unfolded when Pennsylvania issued a stay-at-home order that would last a few weeks, not months. I’m thankful for the NYC trip back in February before we fully understood the novel virus’s impact.

Fashionphile Pre-Loved Gucci CrossbodyBag; Who Needs A New Mindset for 2021?

Like everyone else, a new normal to work from home, quarantine guidelines, and wearing masks to limit exposure. I am rediscovering my passion for home gardening, cooking, and being domestic.

In May, my preferred event is our annual Club 21 black tie.  Instead, the world saw a recurring American nightmare with the murder of George Floyd and the social unrest calling for justice.

The most challenging aspect for me during the Coronavirus was visiting my Mom with her declining health from ovarian cancer.

September, a bittersweet month to celebrate my milestone birthday, notification of inclusion in a Who What Wear beauty feature. And my beautiful mom, Bessie, departed this life.

Who can forget the tremendous “Get Out to Vote” campaigns and the high-stakes presidential election during the fall?

My household followed CDC guidelines to celebrate the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

Spa Visit at The Hotel Hershey, my self-maintenance mindset
Cheers to 2021 with a new mindset of self-maintenance.

My mindset moto for 2021:
You owe yourself one hour a day of self-maintenance.
It can include reading, writing, massages, exercise, dancing, facials, painting, or whatever,
but you/I owe it to yourself/me.
One hour, 1/24, of your day.
That’s less than 5%.
It matters; it does.
Make it count in 2021.
