& the sun stays shining
I hiked up this mountain full of a burdened heart. I climbed up the mountain through all the treachery and made it to the top. I felt God’s power and holiness, and most importantly His goodness that gave me hope. The uncertainty, fear, restless, and helplessness seemed to lift and I saw the hope come shining through the heavy clouds. -

Return to the beach not to normal life
I wish I could explain the emotion that was felt the moment this picture was taken. When Covid first came about and the city began to shut down, it was the ocean that gave people in my city comort. I live in a small beach town in San Diego county. Surfing and going to the beach is an everyday thing. The ocean to many in the area is our church. The beach and the ocean is where we go to celebrate, to think, to heal our hearts after a break up. Being with our toes in the sand gives some of us strength more than breathing. When Covid happened we all lost our life source when they closed the beach. They first closed the beach to staying tanning and sitting and reading. This was a hard adjustment as going to the beach to meditate and talk to the universe and set my intentions and manifestations was something I have done almost daily for 35 years. But it was okay, we could still walk the beach and we could still feel the toes in our sand and feel the waves crashing against our legs. The day they closed the beach, it started to rain and it rained for days. Its as if the universe and the Gods all felt our loss. This past month being stuck in the house has been so feeling like being in a bucket of lobsters and they are all struggling to get out. Its funny to think just some sand and some water can have such an affect on a person. As I type this I have tears streaming down my face and I can remember that beautiful moment yesterday when finally getting back to the beach. The moment my toes touched the sand and felt the water, it was as though it was easier to breathe. In speaking and keeping social distancing to some of the surfers and locals around and about, I discovered that I was not the only one that felt that way. So many people see the ocean and the beach as their church, their religion, the thing that gives them strength, hope, courage and comfort. The ocean is like a giant warm hug with side of hot cocoa. The water looks so brown and gross I know, but if you check out the waves at the beach at night, this is the time when the waves show off their bilolumencent glow! At night its a beautiful mixture of glowing blue, purple and white. Such a great reward from mother nature for enduring the time away. -

Gardening to keep busy
My mom has been gardening as a hobby for as long as I could remember. Since we're in quarantine together, I have been helping her with her gardening recently. It's been a good way to keep busy and not feel like we're locked in all day. The image attached is a sunflower that recently bloomed. #REL101 -

The Great Grocery Store Run
Throughout my whole life I have never seen people so scared and/or lost like I did during this pandemic. Hearing on the news that the COVID-19 pandemic was sweeping across the country and that we were encouraged to stock up on essential supplies I decided to head to the nearest Walmart and get the things I would need for daily life to continue. As I walk into the grocery store, I could immediately feel the panic that was upon every individual that was in the building. Shopping carts full to the max as well as almost everybody having on mask and/or gloves. Shelves were almost completely empty with nothing really left for the workers to stock them back up with. People fighting over items that we considered very small and unimportant just a few days ago. I was completely shocked at just how real this invisible virus had become to everybody,and what people were willing to do to make sure that they were able to survive. A day I will always remember as the Great Grocery Store Run. #REL101 -

How the pandemic changed my everyday actions.
Every day, I cook (kitchen not pictured but in the same room), work out, study, relax, and work from home all in the same room. This goes to show that even though the world is changing in huge ways during this time, every day actions such as going to the gym have had to transition into the home. Small changes like this show how we have had to adapt routines that we wouldn't normally give a second thought to. #REL101 -

A new normal
I titled the image “A New Normal” as the Corona virus pandemic has forced us into a a different way of life. It used be where if we went out of the house to go to the store all you usually needed was your car keys and wallet or purse but now it is much more than that today. Today, because of the corona virus , there much more that you need to help protect yourself from the corona virus before going out. The everyday carrying of items such as latex gloves, face masks and hand sanitizer have become an everyday necessity for some because of corona virus and have become the new normal. -

live entertainment, stay-at-home edition
Every time the garbage truck comes, my son, Carter, 5, rushes to watch the action from the living room window. He comments on the bin order, and asks questions about how the truck’s “arms” work and where the garbage is going. It reminds me of when I was a kid, and how during hockey intermissions, with no action on the ice, my dad would entertain me by having us each pick a zambonie and see whose would win the “race” to clean the ice first. -

Deployed in Afghanistan during COVID-19 #REL101
I am currently deployed in Afghanistan and have no idea when I will return home to the states due to COVID-19 travel bans. I have been here for about 7 months now and was supposed to leave soon but we have been informed it is a strong possibility we will be extended. Through these tough times it is even harder for troops that have been away from their families for so long only to be told they cuts wait longer. We have limited access to amenities such as gyms and MWR(game rooms) due to social distancing. I hope that resolutions for the virus will soon be found and we can return home safe and sound #REL101 -

USS Comfort, leaving NYC
I took this photograph of the USS Comfort, a Navy medical ship, leaving NYC on the Hudson River. It arrived in early April to supplement the already overtaxed medical resources of NYC. I don't think it ever helped as much as we hoped, taking fewer than 200 non-covid patients, and treating between 180 and 190 Covid patients. All the same, it's a good sign that it is no longer needed. -

Low Barrier COVID-19 Cultural Relief Grants, MACCNO, New Orleans, LA
While numerous non-profits created grants to assist New Orleans musicians out of work due to COVID-19, many required financial paperwork and immediate access to a computer. Many of New Orleans culture bearers most in need were unable to apply for assistance. MaCCNO created a low barrier grant to assist these folks. The document reads: "MaCCNO remains committed to ensuring all members of our cultural community have access to relief during the COVID-19 crisis, but we know many musicians, traditional culture bearers, and other cultural practitioners are struggling to access the resources they need. To meet that challenge, drawing from the lessons learned by Sweet Home New Orleans, we have launched our own “low barrier” $250 mini-grants, which are available to members of the cultural community who work/practice in and around New Orleans. To date, we've already given out nearly 100 grants to working musicians, street performers, Black Masking Indians, dancers, Social Aid and Pleasure Club members, burlesque performers, and many others. Grants are distributed on a rolling basis, so the more money we can raise, the more people we can assist. We know those most in need of aid are often the least likely to be able to access it, so we are operating via referrals, proactively reaching out to members of the cultural community who then connect us with people they know are in need (however, self-referrals are also possible). When we connect with a person in need of aid, we conduct a roughly 10 minute intake session over the phone. Once complete, funds are distributed via Paypal, CashApp, or paper check as soon as possible. Priority is given to those aged 70+ and individuals who are having difficulty accessing other forms of financial assistance." -

I still have my job and luckily, money is still coming my way I just stay at home day after day Forced into retirement At only 26 years shy It has truly been a blessing in disguise There are so many things to be grateful for Not letting myself get bored With the television screen And the shows scene after scene I find myself lost in a different routine Finally, with too much time on my hands I can freely escape to different lands Where my mind, body and soul are in unity And the me I’ve always known takes on a new identity -

Precautions during Quarantine
During Covid-19 people became more conscious of going outside and interacting with the public. The risk of contracting the virus was high and was extremely dangerous for those members of the public who had health issues. My grandmother is one of those people. She is immunosuppressed and has respiratory issues. Given her health making her at a higher risk, my family started our own disinfecting station to clean or wipe down any items that came from the grocery store or were delivered. This greatly mitigated the risk of my grandmother contracting the virus. As we watched the number of cases rise in our state every day, we took solace in knowing that we were doing everything we could to protect ourselves, others, and my grandmother. #REL101 -

Staying safe during quarantine
When Covid-19 broke out, everyone began to be more conscious when it came to going out and interacting with the public. The risk of contracting the virus was high and extremely dangerous to some people with health issues. That was the case with my grandmother who is immunosuppressed and has respiratory issues. In order to protect ourselves, and especially her, my family limited going out to just grocery store runs and any traveling for work. We set up our own disinfecting station where we wiped down anything that came from the grocery store or mail, as well as thoroughly washing our hands during the process. We watched the news carefully every day and saw the number of infected cases rise each day, but took solace in knowing that my grandmother was safe and healthy. -

No matter what: Racism is not okay
This pandemic is hard enough for all of us. As a health care worker, I've been deemed one of the special "frontliners" the ones who still put on pants everyday to go to work and serve. So shouldn't I be happy? Isn't this what I signed up for when I decided to be a pharmacy technician part time during my undergrad? I'm happy to serve my community. I'm happy to be able to still be okay and healthy and make a difference by helping my patients. But I didn't sign up for racism. I didn't sign up for face rashes because my allergies still happen and when I sneeze all that snot and saliva gets caught in my mask, and by the end of the day my nose and lips are bright red. I didn't sign up for microagressions with anything, not even my age. In the pharmacy, I've had customers make inappropriate jabs at me about my age, ask for older looking workers because they don't think I'm experienced enough, but none of that prepared me for microagressions based on my race. Coming back to work during the pandemic was strange. Because I had traveled back to Southern California, and back up to Northern California for school, my boss didn't schedule me for 2 weeks-- weeks I had asked for off due to school events that were now, cancelled. Coming back during the crisis, I noticed little things. Customers sanitizing every thing I touched, standing a bit farther away from me from behind the plexiglass, but stepping closer to speak with other store associates, asking for other workers. This was fine. I just continued to serve with a smile. But today, today was the worst one yet. As I walked back into the store from lunch, two ladies blocked the walkway to get through to the pharmacy. Needing to get by, I walked a little close to them, but used an aisleway to get by. Noticing me walk by, they decided to scream: 6 FEET AWAY. SOCIAL DISTANCING at me, and only me. Not at the non-asian looking company employee clearly a bit too close to them, not at any other passerby's, just me- a Vietnamese girl who just needed to get back to her job. I still had a good 4 hours to go in the shift, and that didn't include crying. Keeping a straight face, I walked past them, and continued on to do my job. I kept a straight face the whole shift, until afterwards, I got into my car and cried. Those words shouldn't have hurt me in that way. I shouldn't have to hide my feelings, but they were there. As I sat in silence, finally steady enough to drive home, those words still haunted me the entire way back, until I got home, got into my room, turned off all the lights and continued to cry for all the hurt I felt from those words. Social distancing is important, but be mindful of the space you are taking up, and who is around you. Racism is never okay, and I hope my reaction to these words and actions prevent you from do anything of the same sort. Just because we're Asian does not mean this pandemic is our fault. We're all in this together, so we need to support each other, not tear each other down. -

So much yard work gets done in quarantine!
Since we have been in lockdown my partner and I have transformed our previously unused backyard into a little urban oasis with tiny shrines and a path to the cow pasture at the back of the property. The hard work has kept our minds busy and the beautiful results are a pleasure to spend time in when the work is done.
