Stop Social Distancing and Start Remote Belonging

Out walking tonight with GracieTheMuse, it was an eerie shuttered world. We're battered 24/7 by fear messaging: "practice social distance, keep your distance, make sure you do it, stay 6 feet apart..." Stop! That language anyway. Do this instead. Remote Belong! We used to do it all the time. And we used to be pretty damn good at it.

• Wave and smile from across the way

• Write letters, send cards

• Call someone

• Zoom up with somebody (and now we have this too!)

Here are some wonderful LinkedIn people that spurred this musing: Rhonda Delaney, Casey Jacox, Joon Chang, Larry Levine, David Watt, Benjamin Warsinske, April Shprintz, Dave Carroll, Yasi Baiani, Eben Tobias Greene, Dale Favors, David Gorsuch, Joey Viola, Patricia Burgin, Gene Petrov, Winnie Sun ☀️... oh, and the Krispy Kreme guy who gave us the hats with a great big smile on his face!

They all did some of the 4 things above.

Our world of work and home too will be different in the future, and we will find a way to make it work better than before.

In an effort to help out our #herosinscrubs practice #remotebelonging. They're tired and need our help to win.
