Last October 2024, many of our beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain areas were devastated by the immense rush of water's powerful forces rushing into remote and populated areas. An unusual and unexpected storm, Hurricane Helene washed away much of what was in its path through valleys and ravines. Much like Florida's historical storms, some waded physically and mentally through surreal destruction for survival.
After it passed, humanity rose to the challenge. Mules and their owners, and volunteer helicopter pilots delivered supplies, including food and medications, some offering medical aid to those in need. Others used their manual and mechanical strength to do what they could to clear areas and provide shelter. All while grasping the intensity of what happened.
I recently witnessed the transformation of sites I visited in the past to newly formed vistas and terrain. Different but still worthy of appreciation. Accepting without despair and heartache during my most recent visit somehow. I believe it was with faith, good friends, and a gift of gratitude.
My dear and long time friend, Tammy from Florida at Hickory Falls, Chimney Rock, NC. She now lives in the mountains of Western North Carolina.
The return of the landscapes regenerate slowly with determination through Mother Earth's natural abilities like warm rays of sunlight and seasonal shifts. But there is also the nature of compassion, the human spirit, and actions that are so amazing to see and feel as they help to restore.

In yoga practice, we learn to accept what we cannot change, wisely evaluate, then either surrender peacefully, or instill focus and courage to make positive transformations happen. I returned home last week inspired, and grateful for good friends like Tammy and company, our beautiful planet, and our unique human spirit.
See below for an upcoming immersion in the hills of NC and let's help contribute to the positive energy still needed to many.
