Thanks For Humbling Us Irma

Hurricane Lessons

Cat reflects on her family's recent experience evacuating Miami in response to Hurricane Irma and how this experience brought South Florida together as a community. She chats about feeling humbled after having faced the possibility of having everyone she loves being in the path of danger and how important it is that we make global warming and climate change a prominent topic for us all.

Quote of the Week: "Love does not cost anything. Kind words and deeds do not cost anything. The real beauty of the world is equal for everyone to see. It was given by God equally to all, without restrictions.Everyone was given a beautiful vehicle in which to express love to others. Feelings are free to express and give to ourselves and each other through our willingness to give and care.What is complicated about this... Why have we made others feel they have to climb mountains and swim oceans in order to make a difference.All we need to understand my friends is that human life was given equally to us all, not partially but in totality.The sun was given to all. It does not shine on the few. So, just has nature is indifferent to our station or situation, we need to know that we are all equal. We need to focus on the things that are constant and not place our values on things that can be blown away with the next, great, wind.Value life in whatever house it dwells. For when it comes time that we are all stripped to bare bones before the divine and facing eternity, we will understand that the only law we were meant to follow, was to love ourselves and each other. Nothing more...nothing less.”―Carla Jo Masterson
