I have been through such an unusual year that it gives me this opportunity to reflect and share with all of you what I personally think is important. I was hospitalized not long after my big charity event in May, spending 8 miserable days in the hospital, but blessed enough not to need any surgery. We had extensive damage under our home during theHurricane Irene not too long ago, and then lost our entire first floor and two cars to Hurricane Sandy. It seems to me that all of the events mentioned escalated and were trying to tell me something. I, like all of you, wondered, “what did I do to deserve this?” We have been displaced from our home since the storm and have had much time to reflect. There are days I still sit and think about this past year and there are times I realize that this may be a test of my strength. For all the work that I do and all the people I meet who are suffering and less fortunate that I, is why I know that all that has happened is to keep me grounded, keep me “real” and keep me focused. I have slowed myself down quite a bit since this all began but I still like to reach and and help, share my words and remind others that, “I have walked that mile in your shoes, I do understand what is happening and will continue to”. Please share your feelings and hopefully together we can begin to heal and start the new year off ont eh right foot.
