This photo is of a kiawe tree located along the coastline between Hapuna Beach and Kaunaoa. Kiawe trees grow where nothing else will grow. They are the epitome of strength and resilience and I just love everything about it.
I took this photo yesterday afternoon. I had planned on enjoying a leisurely walk in solitude (as has become my new norm with the shelter at home orders in effect), but I hadn’t prepared myself for the large crowds of people who were enjoying the beach as a result of the recently lifted ban. I immediately got upset, as I wanted it to be back to “the way things were” with empty beaches and solitude. Then I had to laugh at myself, as this is the same reaction I had when the quarantine went into effect! How quickly we forget!
But there is one thing I don’t; forget, and that is why I started. Being a business owner in the time of COVID has been a lesson in patience, ingenuity, resilience, and faith. The “new normal” will likely change ten times over in the coming weeks, but there is one thing that I do know, I started Jaisy Communications because I wanted to help businesses share their story. That is it. That will never change, and that is the joy and the beauty that is a result of this pandemic. The roots of my business are strong, and while the leaves may get jostled from time to time by the storms of life, I will continue to remember why I started.
