Be Open To Changing Your Mind

When I first heard about
COVID-19,
I thought it would be nothing
I had to worry about.
I believed it would be stopped
before it expanded.
I thought it wouldn’t reach
my corner of the planet.

I was wrong.
Clearly.

I tracked the spread
and realized d@mn quickly
it would be a danger
to the people I love.

I changed my position,
ordered the best masks
I could obtain,
donned makeshift masks
while I waited for the order
to arrive,
long before mask-wearing was enforced.

Being open
to changing my mind
helped keep myself
and my loved ones safe.

Right now,
you and I are likely clinging
to stances
that will be proven
to be wrong.

Being open to changing
those stances
could help save
our growing businesses,
our relationships,
and perhaps
even our lives.

Have the strength
and the intelligence
to change your mind.

Going Maskless Mid Flight

The U.S. courts struck down
the mask requirement
on public transportation
three days ago.

Mid flight, announcements were made
on U.S. carriers
and passengers were told
they didn’t have
to wear their masks.

Which horrified
cautious and at risk passengers.
They were placed
in much more danger.

The promise of safety
they were given
was broken.

That WILL impact
sales in the future.

Every time,
we take a flight,
we’re putting our safety,
our lives
in the airline’s hands.

The number one aspect
they’re selling is
safety.

And they f*cked
with that promise
this week.

What other safety precautions
will they abandon
and REJOICE in abandoning
mid flight?

That question
will stop people
from flying.

Hell, I love to fly
and even I’m having
second thoughts about it.
I definitely won’t be flying
a U.S. carrier
anytime soon.

Don’t break promises
to customers.

Order Mother’s Day Flowers Now

I ordered flowers
for my Mom
yesterday.
I scheduled them for delivery
the week before Mother’s Day.

Because I suspect
florists will run out
of flowers this year.

Mother’s Day is
the biggest flower delivery day
of the year.
Not everyone has a sweetheart.
Almost everyone
has a Mom.

Supply chains are
still extremely messed up.
Climate change is impacting
flower growing
and flower delivery.
The pandemic is still happening.

Florists also don’t want
to be left
with excess stock.
They have been going
through lean sales times.
They will likely
be cautious when ordering stock.

If you’re fortunate to have
a loving Mom,
order flowers for her now.

There aren’t
any guarantees
she’ll receive them.
Things happen.

But the odds she’ll have flowers
on Mother’s Day
will greatly increase.
