To our friends and community,

Hello, from the strange new world we live in. Like many of you, we are learning the joys of working from home. This note itself is an example. It is almost midnight. Do I want to be awake right now? No! But the daylight hours are split by limitations and new roles. (People, I am not qualified to be an elementary school teacher.) Stress, fear, and cabin fever are the new norms. This all can be overwhelmingly bleak, but there is something miraculous happening, too.

Have you noticed it?

Individuals and companies are finding new ways to connect and support one another. There is a sense of camaraderie and compassion that is spreading faster than the coronavirus. It is a beautiful foundation of hope in turbulent times. We’ve been moved by this and pray you have too. Every day we are trying to find ways to help our families, our clients’ families and our community. (Every day, because the concept of days of the week has little to no value anymore.)

We are happy to offer you help!

There is a lot more reliance on video now that we can’t meet in person. It just so happens that we know truck loads about video. No one needs extra stress right now. If you’re getting frustrated making videos, reach out and ask us questions! We’ll also be using our social media to put out tips, suggestions and funny distractions, so give us a follow on Facebook and Instagram. For whatever comes, I leave you with the words of two of my favorite philosophers:

Be excellent to each other.

- Bill S. Preston Esquire and Ted Theodore Logan

Stay Safe,

Michael Ryan
