Two Years Later- August 29, 2007

Sometimes it seems like just yesterday and other times it seems like an eternity since Hurricane Katrina and the flooding happened. Today is a day to remember and and a day to look forward; knowing what to remember and how to look forward are keys to our success and our survival.

We must focus on our progress, while not forgetting our challenges. We must know that this life changing experience can often consume us, but we musn't let it. We must be strong, we must be resilient and we must be positive!

Learning from our experience can help us teach others, and teaching others will hopefully prevent future mistakes.

Please keep the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast Region in your thoughts. Today is a tough day, people are struggling, people are frustrated and it is easy to get discouraged. If you see someone from New Orleans, or know someone who was impacted by the storm and the flooding...give them a smile, a note or call. Anything to let them know they are not alone, this too shall pass, and life will oneday return to normal.

Share your messages of hope and support! What do you love about New Orleans? How do you keep a positive attitude and look forward?
