Inspiring storyteller, writer and speaker, Dr. Nina Kelly takes time to consider the opportunities being offered by the pandemic to be more mindful and to see how each person affects the health and well-being of everyone.

New Orleans, LA – April 2, 2019 – Dr. Nina M. Kelly, Inspirational Storyteller, Coach, Author and Co-Author of The Big Question with Larry King, and Success Mastery and Success Breakthroughs with Jack Canfield, recently posted a new article on her website entitled, “Mother Nature Orchestrated A Most Unusual Spring Fever For The World.” Dr. Kelly offers the notion that now is a time to “focus on what’s important.”

Dr. Kelly writes, “We’ve all heard of and probably experienced what’s known as “spring fever,” that restlessness that kicks in when the weather goes from cold and gloomy to fresh, bright, green and alive again!” “Well,” she adds, “this year, the whole world is getting a different kind of spring fever along with an unexpected and prolonged spring break. (Yes, I know those in the southern hemisphere are getting a fall break!)”

“This is not a joy filled spring fever,” says Dr. Kelly, adding, “It is one in which hundreds of thousands of people around the world are dying as a result of the novel coronavirus 19 pandemic.” She offers as a reminders, “There may be a few people still living who experienced the pandemic of 1918 that ravaged the world until December of 1920. However, in our lifetime, this is among the most devastating things we Americans have seen, especially here in the U.S.”

As Dr. Kelly points out, “We Americans are accustomed to our freedoms. We are accustomed to store shelves always being stocked. Whether we ever use all the items or not, it is comforting to see the abundance of products that are typically available to us should we ever decide to use them.” She further elaborates, “For the first time, with the exception of hurricane season, we are seeing shelves stripped bare of the most basic of life’s necessities. Canned items, as well as pasta and dry beans, rice and other dry good staples are pretty scarce. Paper goods and sanitizing wipes are as valuable as gold these days. “

According to Dr. Kelly, “This novel virus is providing novel experiences that many are choosing to ignore. We are being asked to self-quarantine and to practice social distancing. Many young people feel invulnerable and invincible and are choosing not to heed the warnings. Also, many mature people who are not accustomed to staying mindful, are not maintaining the safe social distance as they move through the supermarkets.”
