As we go forward during this unprecedented time in our history, in a world-wide pandemic called Coronavirus or COVID-19, many things have happened. While we’ve maintained a stay-at-home lifestyle, except for necessary “frontline” workers, the world has shown us some remarkably interesting changes evolving from the slowdown of life.

The oceans appear to be less polluted and could actually help restore some of the damage man has done. That the earth is vibrating less. For the first time in 30 years the Himalayas are visible in India due to the huge reduction in air pollution. Families are sequestered together and have time to interact, eat meals together, do crafts, play games, talk, get to know each other.

Many are not able to celebrate important milestones, not able to visit with grandparents/parents/family/ friends, not even able to attend places of worship. We are not able to shake hands in friendship, or hug loved ones.

We now see the true heroes of mankind – healthcare workers of every level from doctors and nurses and pharmacists, to janitors, first responders, grocery store clerks, delivery drivers and postal workers, trash pickup people, teachers still teaching online, non-profits seeing that people are fed, restauranteurs offering take-out meals – these are the ones keeping the world safe and moving forward. Not just now, during this pandemic, but going forward in time when they will all continue to do their jobs and keep our world safe and productive. True heroes, the ones we should be idolizing and worshipping and rewarding.

The Hobe Sound Beach Shop wants our local Hobe Sound Heroes to know they are appreciated and loved for all that they are doing to help those who are affected by the COVID-19, those who are following the rules and staying home to be safe themselves and for the safety of others. So many in our community are out there on the frontlines, working for the good of all of us. We have free gifts for the real heroes of Hobe Sound.

Please take a minute to nominate a Hobe Sound resident that you know is working on the frontline in the area of healthcare, or other critical field that is keeping our lovely little town safe and still functioning – for example, teachers working online to keep our students up to date on their classes, postal workers, sanitation workers, delivery drivers, restauranteurs and nonprofits providing food for those in need, grocery store workers, repair people -- in other words, those who have been out there every day, regardless of the danger to themselves, even distancing from their own families, unselfishly providing for others!
