Style Magazine July 2020
Let’s rewind for a minute to early March. Before life as we knew it came to a screeching halt. I was a distracted mom, driver, wife, and worker who was religious about my routine, took things like haircuts and hugs for granted, and had big plans to see the world this summer. Then, COVID-19. Need I say no more. For anyone who likes to be in control and is a creature of habit, it was the ultimate lesson in letting go and realizing that the only thing we truly have control over is our attitude. Despite the challenging moments, the tears, and the fears that my own family faced, the situation ultimately brought us, and our community, closer. It was a time—a lot of time—of reset, reflection, and, yes, reruns. I embraced the multiple months at home by learning a few new skills (baking sourdough bread and bagels), savoring every second with my daughter who’s growing way too fast, planting a pretty—and pretty prosperous—garden, and gaining a new appreciation for my neighborhood and the people and places that make it thrive. Another positive thing to come out of quarantine? The rates of pet adoption and fostering significantly spiked. As touch between humans became taboo and people started spending endless hours in the comfort of their crib, owning an animal became even more enticing. Just turn to this month’s feature, “Incredible Pets,” on page 53 to read about two lucky pups who were adopted amid the pandemic (Daphne and Lady), plus other four-legged friends who live, and are loved, locally. We also share a lengthy list of area animal rescues, tips for summer pet safety, easy ways to pamper your pet, and furry friends to follow on Instagram. It’s a feel-good feature you won’t want to miss. As life slowly returns to (a new) normal, I hope we continue to be more present, spend ample time outside—and in the kitchen—and, maybe most importantly, support the small businesses that support us on a daily basis.
