How This Quarantine Changed My Life

As a person who prides themselves on independence and hard work I found myself in a very compromising situation. I lost my full-time job due to the impact that COVID-19 has had on small businesses around the country. I know I am not alone in the fact that I no longer felt secure and did not know what to do next.

With all this stress and anxiety came a new found passion and time to make it happen. At first, I started refreshing my resume and looking for another job either in Charleston or NYC (to be closer to my family), but I came to a realization that I didn’t want to work for anyone else expect myself. I have always wanted to be my own boss and make my own schedule. I have found that it has ignited a new found motivation in me that I was lacking for quite some time. To be honest, 2019 was a very hard year for me in many ways and I think along the way I lost my spark. Today, I can confidently say I have found that spark once again. I am so excited about starting my own digital marketing company. Although it is only a party of one at the moment - I hope to be joined by more team members in the future.

I want to thank everyone who has been so supportive and encouraging during this weird and hard time we are in. I hope everyone is staying happy and healthy and remember to give yourself grace.

A very good friend of mine hosted a Zoom meditation last week and she reminded me that we need to give ourselves the same grace we give others. So to anyone that is reading this right now…

May you be happy 

May you be healthy 

May you live with ease 

With gratitude,

Grace
