How do we go back to being civil with people?
How can we bounce back after such a crisis?
Down the road, will anything we accomplish during this quarantine be significant?
How do you handle the fear?
How do you face this new tomorrow? Where will your energy come from?
Funny you should ask.
The books we’ve written are rather diverse and so are our authors. There are between nine and 13 of us at any one time. The youngest is 28, the oldest in the 70s. We are housewives, social workers, grandmas, grandpas, single, married, PHDs, Bachelor’s degrees, Black, White, Brown…You get the idea? We shouldn’t even be friends, but here we are writing books together. Why? Because we all have these same challenges but a huge number of perspectives. Am I fearful because of uncertainty in the leadership and unforeseen circumstances over which I have no control? No, but one of the other authors is. Am I finding it hard to get off my couch after all this turmoil? Yes. But not everyone has that perspective.
- What will it take for you to get to a point where you don’t feel stressed?
- What would you read to get your head straight on your circumstances?
- Where would you look for direction?
Can you identify with at least one of the authors of the books? Probably. If you could figure out how someone like you not only survived but thrived during these interesting times, wouldn’t you at least be curious?
The books are available at the Book Worm in Omaha (the same place Warren Buffett shops) and Amazon.

I confess: I looked into my crystal ball and KNEW 2 years ago that we’d be in a situation like we now face. Every one of those books has a nugget or 12 of insight that will help you cope.
