Can you find peace and purpose amidst the chaos of a hurricane?

Join me on an emotional journey through the devastation of Hurricane Helene in St. Petersburg, Florida, where the bond with my loyal dog, Maple, and the lessons from those at life’s end became my guiding lights. As another storm threatened, the urgent mission to protect Maple highlighted the profound connections we hold with our pets, even in the face of nature’s fury. Reflecting on these experiences, I share insights on embracing gratitude and discovering unexpected gifts that arise from dire circumstances.

Do end-of-life choices hold the key to combating climate change?
