Welcome To Coastal Confessions

Crazy - Yeah maybe I am. I, as many of my friends, are surviving the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Wouldn't you be a little touched by it all? Maybe you have seen us on the news or in pictures on the web, but nothing compares to pulling up to your property and finding it scattered to the four winds or waters, as it were. Imagine driving to the local watering hole, and to realize, there is literally nothing left of the life you knew. It is truly shocking. I knew when I left, that in all probability, there would be nothing left when we returned but still its unfathomable even 8 weeks later. Katrina may have washed away our belongings, but she did not wash away our spirit. We have been taught a very expensive lesson. What we hold close in our hearts should not be physical possessions, but the gifts of love, family and friendship. We have crawled above the rubble with those gifts still intact and because of it, we are truly blessed. Give me your thoughts. Be happy, be thankful. Life and love shine above it all. Peace. Tracy
