Rise like a phoenix. Begin again. It’s all we can do now. In the face of devastation, we will rise above. Due to the destructive effects of Hurricane Sandy on the New York, New Jersey and surrounding states, the eastern seaboard has never seen wreckage like this.
Start over; embrace the help that is being outstretched to you. Rebuild. When faced with uncertainty and unfortunate circumstances, the only thing to do is rise from the ruins.

Maybe it’s a death, an illness, or any other type of loss. The only thing we can do in the face of disaster is face it head on. Deal with the issue at hand, grieve, feel it through, and have faith. Remember, we are only given what we can handle and from everything we experience, we gain growth and wisdom.

Some things may seem unfair but everything we experience is part of our story, to get stronger and to make us into who we are meant to be. It is to set us up for what we will fight for and defend, to fuel what we are driven to accomplish and to give back.

We need to embrace our inner strength and courage. No matter what you may think; it’s there inside of you. You can over come anything when you have the foresight to know this too shall pass.

You are a warrior.

You can do it. You will make it through. You will rise above.

Stay warm New York. Give back and help those who are in need.
Stay grateful and if you are in need, be open to receive.

Hope that inspires you!
