Freeze Mizer Attacks!

My area was hit hard with an ice storm Sunday. We lost power middle of the night Sunday as did MANY people in our area. It’s Tuesday. There’s still now power. No school and I managed to find a very crowded coffee shop that still has power. We have three downed trees, but everywhere there are trees down and traffic lights not working.

My husband has power at his office and we were able to borrow a generator from a friend who’s spending the holidays with family out of state. Still the generator is only on for an hour or two at a time and only to heat up the house and keep the freezer and frig going. (We just bought half a cow and our upright freezer is stocked.)

We have a fire place, but no way to cook food. When it stops raining we’ll be grilling. The road are great so things could be worse and today I’m making a Walmart run. I feel a little like the family in Terri Blackstock’s Last Light. It’s a little inconvenient but I know we have it better than most and all our neighbors are looking out for each other. Still we could use your prayers!

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
