The COVID-19 pandemic made connecting with others very difficult. We survived one of the most challenging periods of time with limited in-person interactions. However, as humans, we don’t just want to survive in life. We want to thrive! Connecting with one another is a key way to move from “survive” to “thrive”. We need each other to exist and the opportunity to reignite connection is something that is worth celebrating.
