Many of you may not know this, but I live in Hawaii. Most days are the same when you live on an island. We don’t get seasons here, and for much of the year news is rather light.
This is why when I received a text from my dad and our emergency alert system that a missile was on its way and it was not a drill, it was pretty terrifying.
Fortunately, I missed most of the drama since by the time I woke up, everyone discovered it was indeed a mistake.
Yet, it’s been a few days now. Every once in awhile while it was quiet, I’d feel a surge of fear. What if it was real?
As I write this it’s Martin Luther King Day. Reading through all of his quotes are like strings of hope, a soothing balm to heal the soul. This one in particular has helped me: “We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.”
I decided that courage and love are far more powerful than fear. As you attack your own personal struggles, I hope his words, which you can also read more about here, light your way.
