Quarantine Resources from a Social Worker of Color

2020, it is truly starting to feel like a movie and not the type we were trying to manifest from our vision boards. I can guarantee you that none of us entered 2020 with the movie Contagion in mind. Yet, here we are experiencing something that has never happened in our lifetime, a global pandemic, we all know as COVID19. Who could have imagined an epidemic would be the one thing that unites us all around the world. Not I, but here we all are at home under self-quarantine with no place to go but either work or the grocery store. While the first half of 2020 was grim and the next half of 2020 is filled with uncertainty, let’s fill it with possibilities. Let’s take each day by day and make our 2020 visions come true. Come on, take your vision board out of the trash or the closet dust it off, and lets us use this time in quarantine to bring what we can from our boards to life. Almost always everyone puts the same topic on their vision board health and fitness, spirituality, love, learning, starting a business, charity, and or community service work, a new career. I am going to list out resources for each area to help you bring your vision to life and share them with those in need. All while doing this, I want you to be kind to yourself, take your time and write to us let us know what resource you used and found helpful. Also, feel free to share a resource you found useful, but it was not listed, and you would like us to share it.
