Community Check-In

We’re in this together! So we’ve been asking neighbors from across the Beacon Hill residential community to answer four questions just to check in with one another. We would love to hear from you too! Please email your answers to: Maira Pizano

Questions:

  1. How are you feeling about everything that’s been happening recently with the Coronavirus?
  2. What are you doing differently as part of your daily routine?
  3. What words of encouragement can you offer your fellow neighbors and friends?
  4. How can we help support each other?

Click on each name to see their answers.

  2. Not as many activities but that’s ok! I plan (hopefully to get some projects done such as organizing pictures, drawers, closets etc.

  1. Scared! Lonely, very pleased with everything Beacon Hill is doing to protect us
  2. Washing hands as directed MUCH more than ever before! Going out very seldom, instead of every day. I am also watching less TV, less news (too depressing and scary) and reading more
  3. “One day at a time”. If you get tired of singing “Happy Birthday” when you wash your hands, try singing a song or saying the Lord’s prayer
  4. Email one another
