In this episode, 5 Dallas bloggers are chatting about their experiences during the Texas Snowmageddon!! These ladies are from all different parts of the DFW metroplex. We cover the personal hardships of no water, no electricity, extreme temperatures, flooded homes, strength building moments, tender mercies, humor in adversity, creativity in emergency situations and opportunities to serve and band together.

I think it is perfect this episode is airing this week as we just had International Women’s Day. Jamie Harper, Madi Scott, Roselle Pliego, & Melissa Jackson are true examples of what strong women look like with their tenderness, ingenuity, resourcefulness, and love that they showed in extreme circumstances.

Show Notes:

Takeaways from the Texas Deep Freeze:

Items to have on hand for an emergency: water, sleeping bags, wipes, camping stove with propane, paper products, canned foods, generator and candles.
Get to know your neighbors. Networking, swapping items and working together with neighbors can save your life or theirs and make everything go so much smoother.
Make things waterproof in your home. If you are storing treasured items or emergency supplies, don’t leave them loose on the floor where they can get soaked and water damaged.
Serve others and keep things in perspective
Find Joy in the tender mercies, keep your faith
Have some fun and keep your sense of humor
Relax into it- you can’t prepare for everything
