Let’s get social! Ever worry about traveling during hurricane season? Comment below.
The week of my birthday, Hurricane Irma was coming. I’m from Florida. Hurricanes don’t scare me unless the governor announces a mandatory evacuation and MY family actually
So I didn’t worry when news reporters encouraged residents and travelers to be careful along the coast of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.
I planned a trip to Savannah for my birthday. A
Eh, what?
I drove almost four hours. When I arrived, the clerk brought to my attention the mandatory evacuation set by the City of Savannah.
“Didn’t you listen to the news?” – said one of the hotel clerks.
“Yes, I did! I didn’t receive any communication about the evacuation and thought it would be clear to still come.”
“Well, no ma’am. Everyone’s clearing out.”
Hmmph. You already know that I wasn’t pleased with this news.
That’s just meant another road trip back home. Sooner than I had thought.
Don’t let this be you. Check out the video for advice on traveling during Hurricane Season.

![#truthmoment I wouldn’t be here if…
My mom really couldn’t have children. She was told that she would never have any children after having surgery at 2 years old. Yet, my mom gave birth to my older brother (whom I never met) at 14 years old. She later had my two older brothers, me, and my two younger brothers and sister. How do you like that doctor? Seven kids later.

I wouldn’t be here if…
My mother, at the age of 22, took her life. If my mom had been successful, you wouldn’t know me. Wouldn’t have been able to follow my adventures or journey, and for some of you wouldn’t have ever met me. One decision could be the deciding factor between life and death, happiness and sadness, love and hatred…and the list goes on.
While I had no control over the past, I’m grateful to have life.
My realization: I shouldn’t be here…BUT I am. I am for a million reasons!
We have lots to be grateful for. We just have to find our purpose.
To anyone who is feeling sad, pain, anger, depressed and more, I see you. If you’re feeling suicidal, please seek help at 1800-273-TALK (8255). If you’re outside the U.S., look for your country’s hotline at suicide.org.
To loved ones, speak up and provide that extra support for those feeling that sadness, pain, anger and depression. Just because they haven’t asked you for help, doesn’t mean they don’t need you.
