Photo-Heart Connection ~ Trying to Be Prepared ~May 2012
I so enjoy and look forward to Kat's monthly post. Most of my heart connections are with nature and it's beautify. So this post might seem a bit ironic in some ways but in my reality... it's just as important. As a child I can remember going through Hurricane Celia and all the damage it caused. How it uprooted our daily lives for several months... which compared to others' horrific ordeals after disasters, that was nothing. But none the less it instilled many lessons that to this day I try to adhere to. Being prepared. I have attended 2 Hurricane conferences and continue to learn so very much each time. What I walked away with this year was complete confidence in our states prepardeness and Texas Pride Smile to boot.
Many times we are quick to judge people and organizations and sometimes their decisions in times of crises. I for one will not second guess those decisons... and will also follow my initution as well.
I got there it was just before sunrise and my phone camera wasn't able to capture the enormity of what all goes into a conference like this. So with the help of others and their pictures, I wish to share what made my May photo heart connection.
When I watched a Coast Guard helicopter land several hundred feet from me that morning my eyes welled up as looked around at all of the resources that were all around me.
Sprint had there mobile unit actually providing service for many of the participant's there.
There were so many origination's participating. All I can say is thank you to all of these professionals that put their life on the line for us when we need them to.
