What do we need now more than kindness and compassion for our fellow human beings? We're all going through this historic pandemic together, facing similar risks and challenges. Let's remember that we are all far more alike than we are different.

I used to lie awake at night and worry about work, family, friends and boyfriends. I would obsess about all of it. And while all these thoughts and emotions were going on inside I rarely expressed any of them. Instead, a colleague would knock on my cubicle while I was in the middle of something and I'd roll my eyes and say in a passive aggressive tone, "what can I do for you now."

"When we look back on our lives, we see that we have survived many trials and surmounted many obstacles, often to our own amazement. In each of those instances, we had to break through our ideas about how much we can handle and go deeper into our hidden reserves." DailyOM

A timely reminder that we are stronger than we think. At these times, it is often our women friends who remind us how strong and brave we can be. So when you're feeling frightened or hopeless, call on a friend. Tell her how strong she is. And she'll remind you how brave you are too.

Stay Safe. Keep Well.

Sometimes we have just gotten through a major obstacle or illness only to find another one waiting for us the moment we fina...

Yes, GoFirefly is a passion project, but it was also born from the question "What can we do to women improve financial independence and confidence?" Here Daniel Pink talks to Tom Rath, author of "Life's Great Question: Discover How You Contribute to the World." In his book, Tom offers an alternative to asking "What is my passion?"

Worried? Scared? Confused? DON'T PANIC!
HEALTHY ADULTS ARE CONSIDERED LOW RISK

There's enough hype and panic out there already about coronavirus, COVID-19, so KNOW THE FACTS.

Coronavirus, COVID-19, is a virus causing illness with symptoms such as fever, coughing, and difficulty breathing. If you are a healthy adult, your risk is low, according to the US CDC. Although the virus is highly contagious, healthy adults infected with the coronavirus will experience symptoms much like any other cold or flu virus-- and mortality risk is low.

People at danger of serious health risk from COVID-19 are elderly adults, babies, and those with underlying health conditions or compromised immune systems. Health care workers should also exercise extreme caution.

THE BEST DEFENSE is frequent, consistent hand washing.

LEARN PROPER TECHNIQUES FOR HAND-WASHING:
1. Using warm water and soap, rub your hands together for at least 20 seconds (as a rule of thumb, singing the "ABC" song all the way through takes about 20 seconds).
2. Curl your fingers and rub your nails against the palm of your hands (germs love to hide under your nails).
3. Rinse thoroughly
4. Dry your hands completely, because germs spread more easily via wet surfaces.

PREVENT INFECTION by refraining from touching your face, using a tissue to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze (and immediately discarding the tissue), avoiding people who are sick, and daily disinfecting high-touch surfaces at work and at home such as doorknobs, sink faucets, telephones, light switches, and other handles and switches.

TREATMENT
IF you or your loved ones are in a population at high risk of infection or complications, carefully watch cold and flu symptoms. Call your doctor or visit an urgent care facility if symptoms worsen or if there is difficulty breathing.

TRAVELING?
The same precautions apply when you are traveling, whether domestic or overseas. If you choose to wear a face mask, make sure it is one that filters out viruses. As always, check the CDC and State Department websites to check risk levels of your destinations.
