Hi Thrive community,
For all the uncertainty wrought by the Coronavirus, one thing is certain: across the country, every day and every night, our first responders are navigating the challenges of this moment with courage and compassion. From doctors and nurses to hospice and home care staff, physician assistants and EMTs, the individuals who put their own lives on the line to help protect our communities during this time inspire us every day. And it's important that we show our support and help them stay resilient as they continue to keep us safe.
This week, we invite you to write about a frontline worker, or anyone at the forefront of this crisis, who inspires you.
Here are some thought starters to consider:
- Is there a healthcare worker in your life who is inspiring you right now? Are they a family member? A neighbor? A friend? How has their resilient attitude affected your own?
- If you're a healthcare worker or have a loved one who is, tell us what your life is like right now. Share with us the challenges you're facing, and what you're doing to improve your well-being during this stressful time.
- Have you read about a frontline worker's story in the news, or on social media? What was it about their journey or actions that resonated with you?
- Do you know someone who is dedicating their time and energy to support first responders, or other essential workers or small businesses? How has their support inspired you to give back on your own?
- What's something you wish you could tell a first responder right now? If you were writing a letter to an essential worker, what would you say? What are you most grateful for?
As always, please tag your post with the "Weekly Prompt" tag, so we can better promote your stories! We look forward to learning from your responses.
