Life Changes Everything...

So  one or two seasons have passed since I last blogged. Shame on me! But the truth is that "life has gotten in the way" of me paying attention to this big blogger machine. I've missed it so much... My apologies. But here I am again. Better late than never!


Wow! It's been a year since Sandy hit. In some ways, it seems like yesterday when we lost power, lost homes,  and lost our minds!  We have memories of devastation, followed by opportunities of renewal.  "We are stronger than the storm" was a terrific slogan for New Jersey's rebuild. A slogan that successfully stuck in our heads like a stubborn ear worm.  But this slogan just doesn't apply to Jersey. "We are stronger than the storm, " is definitely true for us individually. We all face private storms in our lives. Death, divorce, job loss, drug/alcohol issues, cancer and other personal health issues, the list can go on and on. No matter what difficulties the universe throws our way,  we have the choice to face the challenges with grace/faith or just fall apart.

So the next time, the universe tests your inner strength by sending you a "storm," my hope is that you do your best to bend and not break. Believe -- You are stronger than the storm.
