Over the past year, we have experienced many difficulties. I have witnessed extremely hurtful infighting in relationships, our town, and our country. I have seen divisiveness and anger so often that I now refuse to turn on the news. But this storm that has flooded our little corner of the globe has shown me the very best in people. We have received kindness after kindness.
People worldwide have reached out with offers of assistance and much needed prayers. Family and friends we have known for years as well as absolute strangers we have known for moments have offered to allow us to stay in their homes if it comes to that. I have seen so many stories of people working to help and protect each other. This disaster has revealed how wonderful and amazing people truly are. Hope is powerful beyond measure. Regardless of what happens to our home, I know that we will be alright because we will never have to get through it alone.
Thank you for sharing your love, your strength, and your hope. Despite our differences, we stand together and we will always protect each other. We are blessed to have you in our lives.
Thank you. Truly. Joanna
***I took the video at the top of the post yesterday morning. This is a teeny creek that catches runoff water in our neighborhood. On a normal day, you could jump over it in a couple of hops (if you felt like braving the alligators). It has been raining nonstop since this shot, so no telling what it looks like now. There is flooding all around us, but we are dry at this point. Much love to all of you.

YES! We are NEVER alone! During hurricane Isabel in 2003, I learned how wonderful people CAN be as we came together to help each other. Sending love and light to you, Joanna. ♥ Dr. Angi
