Four weeks ago, Hurricane Helene devastated our neighboring states with a ferocity that was unprecedented. We may never fully know the impact of this disaster that destroyed lives, pets, livelihoods, homes, vehicles, and ecosystems. I will not forget the ones who are suffering. The areas that can be rebuilt will take time and resources. Let’s find ways to HELP, for the long haul. Check out Project Renew Adopt-a-Family at helenevolunteers.org/adopt-a-family.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, and the onset of Hurricane Milton, there is unimaginable devastation and overwhelming need. In this episode, I share many ways that we can help. We can pray, give, network, and serve in a variety of ways. If we all DO SOMETHING, it will add up to a lot. Sorry, not sorry, I do cry several times. These are truly trying times.

From my heart to yours on Resurrection Sunday…

Eight and a half years ago, my life came to screeching halt. I contracted a dangerous and mysterious virus that “woke up” many other viruses and diseases that were dormant in my body. Since that time, I have fought with all my might to heal. In this episode, I share some of the things I wish others understood about chronic illness. https://themighty.com/topic/chronic-fatigue-syndrome/cell-phone-battery-spoon-theory-fatigue/?
