Thank you for sharing this. I just got cell service back and this is the first thing I decided to read. I live in western North Carolina—where hurricane Helene devastated my area.

Thank you for sharing this. I just got cell service back and this is the first thing I decided to read. I live in western North Carolina—where hurricane Helene devastated my area. I’m on day 9 of no power or water and inconsistent cell service. So much of what you wrote, rattles me to my core in the best way. I had no choice but to disconnect due to ungodly circumstances. It opened my eyes. I’ve been so mindful for so many days. Friday morning, my wife and I literally held our heads above water during flash flooding.
You’ve made such excellent points in your most. Self care. Community. Mindfulness. These are the things that will save you during horrific times. My community has kept me going. We are all supporting and caring for each other—even though our towns have washed away and the death toll keeps rising. I cannot stress enough how much community is so dire to one’s mental health.
I am so glad this is the first thing I was able to read this morning. I hope everyone here reads your post and it sits with them. At the end of the day, it’s us who will save our asses—not those in “power”.
Take such good care everyone. I’m glad I’m still here 💕
Mara, sending healing to you and your community✨💕 I was on a train heading back to NY from FL right after Helene and saw the devastation…please be safe
