Wetook a deep breath and worked more with our networks,managed more with less and reected on fundamentals.Balance brought a process of harvesting the good out ofchallenges and reconnecting with whats important. Theboundaries have been stretched and they wont go backto the old shape, so we must take what weve learnedand boldly move forward, thriving as a community.
