If you want to teach your child to be tolerant and be hospitable, send them to places where they are the minority.

As Art and I were driving along 405 today to bring my Mom in law back to Santa Monica, I saw lots of cars on the road already. As we exited the busy street of Lincoln Ave., I saw an array of food houses with long lines of people waiting to get in and get services from the establishments. That was about 3pm and I whispered to myself, wow, people are really going back to eating out and the road is slowly going back to its normal busy and traffic phase. I am not sure if I will be happy about this as I really wish and pray for our hospitality folks to get back to work and start its recovery.

Deep inside though, my thought is half heartedly divided between being optimistic and at the same time cautious and worried to death about the possibility of having another rounds of the Virus spread to the industry. I really hope that majority of the people in there are all vaccinated and that we are reaching the stage of herd immunity in our community.🙏🙏🙏

For 28 years 80-year-old businessman Harris Rosen has provided an Orlando neighborhood Tangelo Park: free preschool, a parent resource center and has covered college tuition, room, board, expenses for all its residents. While he owns 8 hotels and has a college named after him, he is most proud of his philanthropic work which has impacted hundreds. As to why he does it, he says he realized he was blessed and decided he needed to share his blessings with others who needed a helping hand. 👏🏼 (photo Melissa Lyttle)

Couple to that fact is the bitter truth that people in this industry have been greatly impacted by COVID. Where are they in the priority listing of vaccine distribution? Question from a friend, share your thoughts below.
