The whole country and the world are witnessing the massive destruction of Hurricane Sandy.\u00a0 The damage is widespread and effecting millions of people.\u00a0 Yet in the midst of these toughest of times, tougher people are revealing themselves<\/em>.\u00a0 You are inspirations to us.\u00a0 Although there is flooding, no power, no heat and so many are lacking shelter and have even lost their homes, you are finding ways to carry on, to help each other and to move forward.\u00a0 It is awesome!\u00a0 This is the resilience and magnificence of the human spirit. <\/span><\/p>\n

Nothing anyone could say can make it better or change the situation.\u00a0 There is great destruction, loss of lives and homes.\u00a0 Yet these acts of nature happen and we can only respond.\u00a0 People helping each other, making a difference and overcoming.\u00a0 This is even more powerful than Hurricane Sandy.<\/span><\/p>\n
