Dear friends, 

I feel compelled to change up the regular programming, especially after missing the last EP, due to the weather events. Last week brought in one intense hurricane and a ton of destruction, loss and heartbreak. If we can turn our focus to what we can do, it can make a difference. I pray this episode encourages you in some way, feel free to share it!
