Much of the globe went into lockdown, and life as we knew it shifted in ways we could never have predicted.In late June 2021, the author awoke one morning with a clear intention: to create a book capturing “lives during these times.” She had watched families and friends grow increasingly divided by conflicting views about what was happening in the world. Anger and frustration rose as people struggled to understand perspectives different from their own. Fear, blame, and anxiety became all too common. People were suffering—and if there was anything we didn’t need more of, it was suffering.Each of us carries our own circumstances, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, hopes, and fears. The author’s aim with this book is to foster greater respect, love, and understanding by sharing individual, heartfelt stories from ordinary people. These stories reveal where they were in their lives when Covid first struck and how they have navigated the past six years. Contributors come from different countries, different situations, and often hold very different opinions.Some writers have continued sharing their journeys since the first book was published in 2021, while others join here in the fourth installment of the Memories series. Within these pages, you’ll find unique reflections and life experiences, including the profound changes that began during the first lockdown in 2020.Join the author as she continues her journey through the lockdown years—remembering always that we don’t all see things the same way.
