It's not a full moon. It's not a new moon.
The moon is currently a crescent and slowly waning before Chapter 50 arrives with the new moon next week.
So why this episode of 3 Books?
Because we are swimming in unprecedented seas. I am feeling stress and anxiety around coronavirus. And I can tell by your DMs, tweets, comments, and voicemails to 1-833-READ-A-LOT that you're feeling it, too.
Of course we are!!
I am worried about what happens when we all wake up feeling scared and mortal and alone at the same time. I am worried an invisible enemy that may already be inside us or people we love. I am worried for my sister and friends on the front lines. I am worried about the health of my parents and grandparents-in-law. I am worried about feeling isolated and distanced... and so many more things.
Today I welcome back my wife Leslie and we sit down on our basement couch, after putting the kids to bed, to have an open-hearted talk about cultivating calm during coronavirus chaos.
We discuss things like:
How do we create systems to control our media consumption?
How do we stay connected in this disconnected time?
What do we say to children and preteens?
How can we take care of ourselves as we go through this trauma?
What are some ways we can practice self-care?
And much, much more...
If you need an empathetic voice, a compassionate voice, a loving voice, a tender voice, or a guiding voice, I can’t wait for you to meet or remeet my lovely wife, Leslie. (Chapter to Chapter Club members will of course know Leslie from Chapter 1 of 3 Books.)
During our chat we set up a chair for you in the basement beside us. (We honestly did.) It has a thick wooly blanket and a cup of lavender chamomile tea.
I hope you'll join us.
Let's go!
