The Magnitude. I wanted to create something meaningful. My head, my heart and my soul desired to create something that was tangible, physical, visual, and dimensionally interactive for the viewers. The story, reality and magnitude of the lives lost needed a voice. I wanted to authentically and candidly ignite a reaction that when viewed, people would go, “Wow! This is an enormous loss of lives. How can we help?” https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603fbf9433c7d27c0f688b9a/t/609e351027e49f75ff6e6ec1/1635915937566/IMG_2722.jpeg Project Genesis - One by One. I had a seed of an idea. I envisioned tying a ribbon for every life lost to Covid-19 in the U.S. I wasn’t sure I could tie hundreds of thousands, however, I thought I could start with Florida. At that time in mid-November 2020, there were 16,000 Covid-19 deaths. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603fbf9433c7d27c0f688b9a/t/609e3569f3b2642ca9309113/1623274738130/1CK_4137.jpeg Project Genesis - Beyond Florida. As Covid-19 losses have grown, more ribbons have been added. As of the end of May 2021, there are over 37,000 ribbons. The Covid Ribbon Memorial has expanded beyond Florida into other states such as Connecticut, New York and Minnesota. For more information on joining those states or starting this project in your state, contact Cathy Tobias here. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603fbf9433c7d27c0f688b9a/t/60c136750b4ece6fb42cb783/1635915920027/E3E8033D-89DC-4D84-9B71-E9F749AA8D95.jpeg Project Genesis - The Inspiration. As I watched the death toll quickly mount, my heart hurt for the families and friends who were losing their loved ones to Covid-19. While my loss occurred many years ago and its impact stays with me, my personal experiences with tragedy inspires me to support others facing similar sufferings. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603fbf9433c7d27c0f688b9a/t/609e33fb5941f8204c8d11a7/1623274748939/NYT-front-page-05-24-20-mediumSquareAt3X-v2.jpg Project Genesis - The Names & Numbers. On May 24, 2020 the Sunday New York Times paper listed the names of the first 100,000 people who died from Covid-19 in the United States. I was deeply saddened and overwhelmed. I couldn’t comprehending the staggering number of people dying from Covid-19. I watched the numbers tick up daily. How do I wrap my head around the growing numbers? How do I humanize their losses? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603fbf9433c7d27c0f688b9a/t/609e3393b9fa8c62481dc2c2/1635915902779/1CK_4156.jpeg Project Genesis - Shared Pain In Losing a Loved One. I know what it feels like to lose a loved one. I unexpectedly lost my first born infant son. The pain of his death was excruciating and unbearable for many years. I thought my heart was permanently broken and I would never find happiness or heal. https://www.covidribbonmemorial.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-10-08 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603fbf9433c7d27c0f688b9a/t/60af1c3f075e402a492cf719/1635916141228/ Contact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.covidribbonmemorial.com/accolades daily 0.75 2021-11-03 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603fbf9433c7d27c0f688b9a/t/609ee56144b3733c1efd2339/1635916077510/ Accolades - “ We’re a visual society.

Cathy’s work emerges from her belief that life is short; take time to see, feel, experience, and make a difference. Early in her career, she obtained degrees in Occupational Therapy and a Masters in Organizational Leadership. She worked in physical rehabilitation as a therapist and clinical director, specializing in neurophysiological disorders like stroke, multiple sclerosis, dementia, and Alzheimer’s. Later, she owned and operated a senior care management company. She was an aging-care specialist and certified life coach. Later, Cathy attended Ringling College of Art and Design earning a Certificate in Photography. With her photography, Cathy aims to capture new perspectives, even in the familiar, inspiring a deeper love and meaning for life, intensifying a thirst for adventure, sparking imagination, provoking empathy and deepening gratitude and appreciation for life. Cathy has had several solo photography exhibitions in places such as Saint Paul, MN and Madison, WI. She has won multiple awards for her photography at local shows. Most recently, February 2021, Cathy won the Excellence in Photography Award for her work, “Raised Fist in Solidarity”, at The Artists’ Guild of Anna Maria Island’s 12th Annual Fine Arts Exhibition, “Art Unleashed”. See more of her photography at lifeisshortphotography.com. Beyond Cathy’s work expertise, on a personal note, many years ago she lost her first baby. Cathy knows the pain of losing a loved one. She is able to deeply empathize with the families and friends who lost their loved ones to Covid-19 from her own personal experience combined with her own caring work in healthcare. Cathy’s compassion, experience, expertise, and creativity are a perfect combination from which the Covid Ribbon Memorial has emerged. https://www.covidribbonmemorial.com/press daily 0.75 2021-05-14 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603fbf9433c7d27c0f688b9a/t/609ed65fa614a611d7be0550/1621025442020/Bradenton1.png Press https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603fbf9433c7d27c0f688b9a/t/609edd864c175a2968455f79/1621025548975/fox2.png Press https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603fbf9433c7d27c0f688b9a/t/609ede66f0024342c2e31868/1621025563773/tampabaytimes1.png Press https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603fbf9433c7d27c0f688b9a/t/609ee264b44f331189a93943/1621025608995/channel8-1.jpg Press https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603fbf9433c7d27c0f688b9a/t/609edc373efb6a5153c64ad5/1621025530457/ABC1.png Press https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603fbf9433c7d27c0f688b9a/t/609ee069724a4f32e7dc8b1a/1621025615427/ABC2.jpg Press https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603fbf9433c7d27c0f688b9a/t/609ed92dbf4cf15101726a71/1621025501240/fox1.jpg Press https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603fbf9433c7d27c0f688b9a/t/609ed6a12e27ff222963cb26/1621025481905/Amisun2.png Press https://www.covidribbonmemorial.com/add-a-name daily 0.75 2021-11-03 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603fbf9433c7d27c0f688b9a/t/60c23dab1bdd6b0fa8495d99/1635916114037/ Add A Name - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603fbf9433c7d27c0f688b9a/t/60c23c72c60d156ad2db04b8/1635916123728/ Add A Name - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.covidribbonmemorial.com/add-a-name-1 daily 0.75 2021-05-27 https://www.covidribbonmemorial.com/contact-1-1 daily 0.75 2021-05-27 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603fbf9433c7d27c0f688b9a/t/60b0241a3adbd652603dbd80/1622156361240/IMG_2817.jpeg Contact (Copy) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.covidribbonmemorial.com/404 daily 0.75 2021-10-08
