Coping with being inside during self quarantine

10 Coping tools to endure self quarantine:

  1.   Maintain your "Me Time."  Although you may be stuck inside with other family members or housemates, it is an adjustment that can go smoother by taking time for yourself.  Here are a few suggestions: 

  • Communicate with others that you need some time alone
  • Indulge in long baths or showers
  • Set a time to meditate and pray in the morning and before bed
  • Get up and do something in between commercials
  • Develop a fun fitness routine
  2.  Take advantage of the time to connect with others via social media, texts, email, face time, and telephone.  Please keep in mind the elderly, sick and shut in.

  3.  Consider writing notes, postcards or letters to loved ones that may be incarcerated, away in the military, and treatment centers.

  4.  Start a hobby that you may have put off in the past.  Shop online and save on things you are buying.  Get Cash Back on things you are purchasing.

  5.  Think of ways you can Pay-It-Forward to humanity i.e. making masks, volunteering to assist with providing childcare for first responders, help with local food banks, and check on local neighbors that are elderly and disabled.  

  6.  Create your "New Normal" daily schedule.

  7.  Think of ways to become more self sufficient.  (start an indoor garden, learn to make some household items, i.e. hand sanitizer, wipes, canned fruits and vegetables)

  8.  Indulge in healthier food and drink choices to maintain health, physical stamina, and emotional well being.  Stay hydrated.  

  9,  Consider supplementing your diet with vitamin-d rich foods or vitamins due to lack of sun exposure.  It also wards off depression.

10.  Anxiety and depression may tend to creep up.  This is very normal.  However, don't allow it to set in.  Consider all of the suggestions listed above.  If things are not working, please seek professional help immediately.

From Dismissed by DOGE to Rooted in Renewal: Lessons from the Soil After AmeriCorps

Image
   From Dismissed by DOGE to Rooted in Renewal: Lessons from the Soil After AmeriCorps On April 28, 2025, I received a text message from my project manager inviting me to a "required Zoom meeting." Like many other AmeriCorps members, I joined, unaware that it would be my last official acts of service, ending May 9, 2025. Within minutes, I and hundreds of others across the country were dismissed. Not for misconduct. Not for poor performance. But because the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) decided our roles were expendable. Just like that, my position as a Literacy Mentor with The United Way of Northern Nevada and the Sierras was over. For months, I had poured my energy into helping children unlock the magic of reading. I tested, tracked progress, encouraged hesitant learners, and celebrated every small victory. The work was slow, like planting seeds. And suddenly, it was gone. But life has a way of continuing, and so does growth. Finding Grounding in the Ga...

A Mother in the Classroom: My Journey with United Readers and What Comes Next

Image
  This past year has been one of the most transformative chapters of my life. As an AmeriCorps Member and United Readers Literacy Mentor through United Way of Northern Nevada and the Sierras (UWNNS), I had the honor of serving in the classroom of Cottonwood Elementary School in Fernley, Nevada. But I wasn’t walking this path alone, my eldest daughter, Donica Davis-DeLoney, served beside me at Cottonwood, and my youngest daughter, DonRica Davis-DeLoney, mentored students at EC Best Elementary School in Fallon. Together, we were not only literacy mentors, we were mother figures, life coaches, safe space holders, and, most importantly, part of a village nurturing the next generation of readers. My Youngest daughter @DonRica Balancing full-time service and full-time online college was no small task for any of us. It demanded early mornings, late nights, and a deep, unwavering commitment to our students and our studies. But we poured ourselves into this work because we believe in the p...
