Daily Affirmations: Change

Today, I re-mind myself that in working through changes in our life, we run through a variety of emotions that are normal and necessary to process the changes. Change isn’t always easy, and although we must embrace the change, we also may allow ourselves to feel thoroughly the anticipation, sadness, and even grief that might come up in the process of change. When we work through our feelings rather than cast them aside, we come out stronger and more at peace.

Daily Affirmations: Optimism

Today, I will practice optimism on every level. There is no room for negative thought or negative actions in my life today, or any day.  When a negative thought enters my mind I will seek to release it to the universe with a deep breath and an exhale.  ~ Pamela J. Leavey

Sandy Point and Hurricane Sandy

When I was a small child, my family camped on this beach every summer for a few years. Sandy Point State Reservation, is at the southern tip of Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, camping has been banned there now for decades.

When I was there a week ago, we were already experiencing extremely high tides. With Hurricane Sandy heading up the East Coast poised to possibly converge with a Nor’easter, I anticipate the hide tides at Sandy Point, and the entire area to be even higher than we’ve seen here in the last week.

The storm could also effect voting in the areas hard hit, which might just impact election results.

I love a good storm… but my hope is Sandy calms down before she strikes my area.
