Honestly this prompt and idea gives me anxiety. I’m like I could plan to have foods stocked up and water and emergency bags of supplies like lights, bandages, batteries, a radio, etc. but in reality there is so much beyond human control. In true emergencies we all end up doing the same thing: praying. Even those who don’t pray will have that thought of “please get me out of this” or “please send a miracle,” and it is in those moments that we surrender to the higher power.

What brings me peace is being at home with the love of my life and knowing that both us, and all of our loved ones are safe and sound.

I’d sell self-love affirmation stickers and merchandise. I’d also love to sell some funny, minimalistic cards for all occasions.

I’d take away social media and the big media channels that spew fear down everyone’s throats. I feel that in and of itself would help people to reconnect with themselves and each other.

When I look forward into the future, I’d have to say I’m most excited to start a family with my fiancé. I can imagine watching him transition into being a father and seeing how wonderful he will be with our kids. I see pajama dance parties and fun holiday traditions, all while having my favorite person on my team. As much as I look forward to those days, I am also happy to be exactly where we are. Right now we are enjoying our wedding season and the time that we have to dedicate solely to each other, prior to bringing children into this world.
