The @IrishTimes capturing perfectly why the ESRI exists.

The pandemic isn’t over, and the narrative that it is feels eerily similar to last June. Except that now I & many of you have been vaccinated. So our risk is much lower.

But ignoring COVID without real & adequate protections for workers, will increase everyone’s risk again.

Keep going. The thing you are working on that some folks don’t understand or can’t comprehend is the thing that will expand horizons and create light and space for so many others who will be enriched by and grateful for your efforts. Keep going. The world needs you to keep going

If you see something wonderful in someone, let them know. A lot of people can’t see their own beauty. Be the one who helps them see it. Be the one who helps them believe it. #StarfishClub #mentalhealth #NotesToAYoungerMe #kindness
