Change is upon us once again. This time we’re not being forced to alter our lifestyles and confine ourselves to our homes to avoid the Coronavirus; now we are being given the choice to venture out, knowing that although we may change our routines of the past several months, the virus is still the same virus. As a result, everyone is dealing with new realities and new responsibilities.

We’re living through something we could not have imagined a year ago, taking on roles we didn’t train for, experiencing isolation and frustration as we shelter in place. But we can and will get through it! We’re tough, smart, resourceful, resilient, and we will come through this stronger than ever. This is what we are celebrating this Mother’s Day! Mother's Day has always been a busy time at Eclectics. Thank
