In the wake of the storm

We are lucky enough to have power and able to go back to work today, but many are not as fortunate. Keep all of western NC, SC, GA, and FL in your thoughts and prayers. #disaster #hurricane #wnc

2024/9/29 Edited to

... Read moreThe devastation caused by hurricanes brings to light the urgent need for community support and recovery efforts. In WNC and surrounding areas, many lives have been disrupted, creating a catastrophic environment for those who have lost homes and livelihoods. It's crucial to understand the gravity of this situation and foster a spirit of solidarity among friends, families, and neighbors. In these trying times, people are encouraged to contribute to local charities and support systems aimed at aiding recovery efforts. Every little bit counts, from donations to volunteer work. Moreover, sharing stories and resources online can help raise awareness and mobilize further support. It's also important to stay connected with local officials and services as recovery efforts unfold. By praying for and supporting Appalachia and other affected regions, we can help communities rebuild stronger and more resilient in the face of adversity.

Waking up can be a hard time for lots of people. Before I got married, I would sleep until late or I would wake up, but stay in bed on my phone for at least 1 hours before really getting up. Sleep in is of course really good, but I never liked the feeling of getting up 11:00am thinking I waste

I am more than a handful, more than a heart can take. I am not easy, nor have I ever claimed to be. I am the storm and the silence in its wake, A complex soul, but one that loves endlessly. Although I am a handful, I am more than a heart can contain. My love is the sun and my love is the rain.
