Well, here we go again with another hurricane coming through Florida. As I type this (early Thursday morning) we don't know exactly which way it is coming and where it will hit. Best projections now are for Hurricane Frances to hit near Brevard County (Cape Canaveral area, we call it the Space Coast here in Florida) with winds of 130 mph.

Either way, it is going to be a great learning experience. What? Yes, I mean that. It is going to be a time to learn and grow as we face this.

And you face many challenges in your life. You might not have to go through a hurricane but each day, life presents different options. You get to choose how you will confront each challenge. It can do you in or you can grow from it.

Well, I'm off to speak to our local Chamber of Commerce about "Charging Forward After the Challenges of Charley." Little did we know when they asked me to speak that we'd be facing a bigger, more ominous hurricane on the day I speak. Life is like that. It chuckles as it unrolls suprises for us. Yet, in the midst of those surprises and challenges, we grow.

It is going to be fun!
