The Experiment: Day 352 ~ What I Need As Hurricane Florence Heads This Way…

Dear Ones,

People are contacting me with concern and I understand and appreciate this. I have done everything I can to prepare as Hurricane Florence heads toward us here in Wilmington, NC. I have water, flashlights and extra batteries, candles, food. A friend is staying with me. I am taking the pugs to the vet in the morning and getting Pugsley’s medication refilled, and a whole laundry list of things. I cannot leave town. I am here for whatever comes. What I need are prayers. What I DON’T need, please, are horror stories from well-meaning people. I am already as afraid as you can imagine I might be and that doesn’t help. I believe in the power of prayer. Please pray for my loved ones and I and all of us here.

I am in what is called midtown here in Wilminton. Wilmington is kind of like a peninsula with the Cape Fear River on one side and the ocean on the other. If you are in either of those water areas you may have to evacuate. I am in the middle of town and while yes the weather is well likely to get bad here I am not on the beach or in an area that floods. I do have big trees around and that is my main concern but again, prayers please. If there is anything that can be done I have done or am doing it.

I have never missed a blog post in this 365 day journey of which this is Day 352 but I have no way of knowing what the days ahead will bring, if we are having power outages and if so how long they will last. If I am not here that is why and I will pick up where I left off, continue on until I reach 365 days, and then begin the next 365 day journey with Anna’s art and story and journey after that. Everything will get done. Getting through the days ahead is all I can think about right now.

This is a brief post as they will be in the next few days. I am coping with too much to do more.

Thank you for your thoughts, prayers and good wishes. I love you all.

  1. Dear Maitri,

    I am holding you close. You are in my constant prayers. Kind self-care is so important right now. I am glad you will have your good friend with you! Snuggle the pugs up close. Remember how very much you are loved. ❤️

  2. love you Maitri,
    I say your name and a peaceful calm comes over me…

    I believe you know what is best for you and rightly so…

    I pray you find a word or someone’s name that can bring you the gift of peaceful calm.

    I pray your home will be a beacon in the night that those of us that are lost find our way to you and we also become a beacon.

  3. I visualize you surrounded by all of your angels and all of our prayers. I also visualize your home being a vision of light.

    Much Love, Jean

  4. Praying that you and all those you love, will be safe during this storm. xoxo Trece

    Seeing your home and property surrounded by a sphere of Total Protection…and it is so.

  6. Prayers for calm amidst the storm and for your wellbeing and for those you love.

  7. Sending prayers for you and your family as well as for everyone in the path of the hurricane 💜💜

  8. I will send Reiki to you and the pugs for your safety, health and well-being Maitri. <3

  9. Hi Maitri! I have been thinking of you all day and sending prayers and good vibes your way. I am happy to see this post and know you are getting prepared and being positive. Yes you will safely ride out this storm, with pugs and a friend, and then can tell us your adventures- or maybe Anna will tell us her’s. I can picture her wearing one of those sou’westers (or whatever you call those yellow raincoats). I’m enjoying everyone’s comment that your home be a beacon in the bad weather- another happy image. May the trees around you bend, but not break. We will keep the prays and good vibes coming!

    oh my dear of course i am thinking of you, and sending violet light, like the one that surrounds your site… crown chakra color… for protection. and telling Florence to jog on out to sea, and forget coming anywhere near Wilmington.

    Until then, my virtual hugs ….

  11. The blood of Jesus cover your home and neighborhood and may God’s angels surround and protect you and yours so that nothing that is not of God can come near you to hurt you or harm you. In Jesus’ mighty name, I pray. Amen and amen! In His love for you, Memarge

  12. Maitri, I am horrified by this. We had massive flooding in Melbourne last year so I know how you must feel. Just wanting to say how much your words from your blog have comforted me over the years. I have not always been up-to-date with your writing but today read about this hurricane. Please please please try and keep calm. I don’t know what else to say, except I shall do as you asked, hold you in my thoughts and prayers. Strength, courage and protection to you. I hope you are kept safe in this emergency and it passes so you can resume your life again. Sending lots of love from across the ocean

    • Thank you dear Leeanne, I appreciate your kind thoughts and prayers, they mean so much. I am doing all that I can. People’s support means so much now… Bless you honey.

      • I wish there was something else we could do Maitri. But have committed you to daily prayer as much as I can. I hope everyone else remembers to pray for you as much as they said they would, its easy to overlook but very much needed. I hope you can stay calm in this overwhelming situation and am sending more power to you day by day.

        • Honey if you are praying for me and mine you are doing the most and the best thing that you can do. Thank you so much, blessings and love to you….

  13. Sending hugs and much love, dear Maitri. xxx

  14. My Magical Maitri, I’m sending light and love and prayers for the safety of you and yours as you successfully weather Florence; may the angels surround you and those you love with much peace as this latest of life’s many storms passes over you! Namaste, Trish <3

    • Thank you so much dear Trish, I appreciate your kindness, love, and support so much. Keep the prayers coming and visualize the storm going out to sea. These are the things we need most now and I appreciate them so much…

      Hugs,

      Maitri

  15. Maitri, I’ve just read the latest weather reports, I’m praying you all stay safe. xxx
