Hello September ❤️ I’ve written many reflections about my views when September rolls around and this year is no different. It marks for me a new beginning and saying goodbye to those hot August days looking forward to the new year it brings for me.

This year I am feeling the same but have extra inspiration after a long summer of controversy and conflict across the country. One week after Harvey made landfall there are people still flooding in Texas.

South of Houston, I have a friend that is experiencing Harvey for a second time as the runoff is filling the streams, rivers and reservoirs as it heads back to the gulf.  Her house built in the 60’s that has never flooded is about to fill with water.

The inspiring part; her, her daughter, her MIL, SIL are all being rescued and going to her ex’s house with his wife and their two daughters. They are a group of people that still love and care for one another and understand we are more to each than our differences. I have seen this family come together before and it’s an inspiring thing. ❤️

Added to that, her ex is a law enforcement officer who has been working soaking wet for days to help others.

Texans are strong. Keep your prayers going for them It’s not over yet.
