Who am I and why would I start a blog? Some say it helps define yourself and gives you a voice to share your thoughts. Maybe, maybe not but here it goes. As of this writing, my thoughts and prayers go to my fellow Texans who have just been hit with Hurricane Harvey last week. I think of the devastation the Hurricanes Carla and Alisha and Rita did along the gulf coast. I can only imagine the recovery time needed. Please give to the Red Cross. I noticed that much like 9/11, the responders from the community placed aside any cultural differences and helped any all and all who were in need. Let us remind ourselves that every crisis should be seen through this lens of hope and charity without prejudice, pride and ego. I am grateful to all of those who lend an uncolored hand.
