Tragety Does Not Define Us

Not Alone Recent news reports have been filled with larger than life events – situations that most of us cannot begin to imagine, ranging from hurricanes and floods to earthquakes and wars.  Each report includes at least one heart wrenching story about an individual whose existence as they know it has been horrifically altered.  In our own world, in our own way, many of us have been faced with what we would consider a life altering experience.  It will change us, it will test us, it will stretch us, but we must not allow it to define us.  Strength comes from struggling through adversity – we reach deeper, try harder, count more blessings, and pass along our hard earned lessons to others so that their physical or emotional wounds may be salved.  We are resilient, we are empowered and we are not alone.
