My life in the beautiful PNW: Love my family; thankful for amazing friends. Energetic about making an difference in the world, through work and volunteering.
“Age has given me what I was looking for my entire life—it has given me *me*. It has provided time and experience and failures and triumphs and time-tested friends who have helped me step into the shape that was waiting for me. I fit into me now.” ~@ANNELAMOTT
"Consistency before intensity.
Start small and become the kind of person who shows up every day. Build a new identity.
Then increase the intensity."

Can’t overstate this. With a large, asymmetric storm like #Nicole, do NOT focus solely on landfall location or “it’s just a category 1.”
Large, impactful storm with surge, wind & rain impacts WAY north away from where the center comes ashore. @weatherchannel
We should stop calling systems like #Nicole a “subtropical storm” and use “hybrid storm”. Just like a hybrid car, which people understand, it runs on two kinds of fuels - warm water and temperature contrasts. And being a hybrid car or hybrid storm doesn’t make it less dangerous.
If #Nicole makes landfall in Florida as a hurricane, it would be the first hurricane to hit the east coast of the state since Katrina in 2005. Pretty wild to see a 17 year drought like that broken in mid November.
Sky watchers! 🔭Keep an eye out for the #Orionids meteor shower which runs Oct 2 – Nov 7 with a peak the night of Oct 21. It is produced by dust grains left behind by comet Halley. Will you be watching? ☄️

"The brilliance of the stars would be invisible without the vast darkness of space behind them.
Do not wish away the difficult portions of life. They provide the contrast needed to appreciate the joyful moments."

“In the cold wind, if you can lean against others, none of you will blow away. You keep each other from falling or help each other get back up. Someone holds out a hand, or even scared old you may hold out a hand, and a person in need reaches for it and hangs on.” ~@ANNELAMOTT
