A Moment of YES: September 30th

Good morning, everyone. Here is your moment of yes for Monday, September 30th. Um, it's a close-up, uh, up here in, uh, Michigan for the next 2 days at Shea, Tiger, and Lori. Um, but, uh, obviously sort of appreciating that this is one of the areas in the country, it feels like, that's not being completely hit and decimated by, um, I guess, Hurricane or Tropical Depression Helene at this point. Look at all the damage in Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, the flooding, the storms, all of it. Obviously, it's very sad, very disheartening, a good reminder that sort of Mother Nature doesn't really care about zip codes and social status. Maybe social status helps with the cleanup process, but not so much with where the storm's going to go. Again, just like another healthy reminder about what we control and what we don't control. And then also thinking about, right, how do we help? What can we do to help? I mean, obviously I love the mantra, think globally, live locally. And how, you know, especially with the election coming up, think globally, live locally. You know, it's a very helpless feeling when you're not you don't have a lot of influence on something that feels so far away or distant or out of your control. And then the resetting is, well, what can I do where I am? What can I do in my community? What can I do with my neighbor? That, that, that think global focus, um, or acting global focus— acting local, thinking globally. So, um, yeah, you know, just, just thinking about that today where I'm not close to the storm, the floods, but what can I do to help with where I am in Michigan? Or what can I do to help when I'm in St. Louis? And just thinking about the local community of wherever you are, because wherever you are, guaranteed there's something there that needs your help and attention as well.
