I’ll be the first to admit that the news can be overwhelming. The country and our community has been forced to change over the past few weeks due to COVID-19.
I’ve been thinking of ways EastIdahoNews.com can present positive, uplifting content during these uncertain times. Our main duty is to report the news – no matter how bad it is. But we also have an obligation to inform you of good things and hopefully entertain or enlighten you a little.
I’ve reached out to several people across the country who are known for their optimistic attitudes and asked them to video chat with me in a series we’re calling “Isolation Inspiration.” They’re meant to inspire you – no matter what situation you’re in.
Hunter Pence is a right fielder for the San Francisco Giants. He has also played for the Houston Astros, Philadelphia Phillies and Texas Rangers. He made his major league debut in 2007 and is a four-time All-Star. He was a member of the 2012 and 2014 World Series championship teams with the Giants.
Hunter spoke with me about how he’s handling self-isolation and how he gets through difficult times. You can follow him on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Hunter’s wife, Alexis Pence, runs a YouTube channel and gives updates on the couple’s happenings. You can see the latest updates here.
