When a friend asks how you're doing, do you answer "I'm quarantine-good"? After 7 months of this new normal, it's clear that the only way to "keep calm and carry on" is to take life one day at a time. We asked RWN members to send in their stories of uplifting moments and unforeseen silver linings that have transpired in spite of, or in some cases due to, this global pandemic. As a result, our newest blog post features contributions from RWN members Preeya Gholkar, Kristi Mitchell, and Alaina Wong-Canissario. Happy reading! https://rwn.org/stories-from-a-new-normal/
