Hurricane Sandy, an historic storm that was unique in its size and capacity swept through the Eastern seaboard. It brought snow fall of 30 inches all the way to West Virginia. I am a little shaken up as I am writing this. My heart is grateful because I was lucky enough to not be alone, with power and my area was not affected too badly by the storm. Many of my loved ones are without power, and after speaking to a cousin that almost drowned in her apartment with her dog, I am just taking some time to let it all sink in. With all of these mixed feelings, I am contemplating what is important in life. My prayers are with those who lost their loved ones and their homes. We really see the impact of humanity when we have to weather storms. What is really important to me is to be of service to others and to constantly push my own personal growth in order to add the highest value. I am reminded to remain grateful for my huge capacity to love. With love, Erika
