Welcome!

Not everybody gets to choose to "invert." Hurricane Katrina wiped out thousands of houses in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Florida and has become the worst natural disaster ever to strike in the United States. The people who experienced the disaster and its after-effects have had their lives "inverted."

They've had their lives turned upside-down and inside-out.

Ten months after the hurricane hit, I joined a relief effort and got to see a small part of the damage firsthand. Thinking I was "done," I returned home and saw small changes in the way I perceived the world around me. As I returned to a "normal" life, I realized just how different it appeared to me. And then I started to see just how big all those small changes were about to become.

Let me share my experience with you...

For reasons of privacy, I have chosen not to use the names of many people who were involved in the actual events I have written here. Please note: if you blog and you've shown your full name on yours, I may end up using your full name on mine. If you know me and want me to use your name to show in my postings, then I will use your name. Or if you see your name here and you want it off the blog, then I will remove it. You can contact me here.
