KIMBERLY SELENA

Hi my loves. 

Today I want to kind of talk about something that happened in the state I live and get a couple of you if not all to help out. I am not being sponsored nor being paid in any kind of way to say anything about it, but since this did happen in my hometown I wanted to inform others of what they can do to help. 

If you have a TV or any kind of social media you probably have heard the devastation hurricane Harvey has left. Even though Houston simply experienced it as a tropical storm a lot of homes where damages and the flooding is persistent. It's heartbreaking to see the news and all the people who lost everything due to the amount of rain we received the past couple of days. Some people lost their lives as they were trying to evacuate or get to loved ones. 

My family and I know how blessed we are to have had no damages in our home. Even though our neighborhood did accumulate waters and it did flood no major damages where seen when we went out to see how our community was doing. Sitting on the couch with my whole family watching people being rescued is something that affects a whole community. There was an elderly woman walking high waters carrying nothing but her dog in her hands. A single mom with two little kids. A man who took the doors out of hid fridge to use it as a boat for his dogs. 

 If you are from another city or state who wasn't affected or you are at home unable to move due to the flooding out in the streets, there is still a way you can help, by donating to the Red Cross . It doesn't have to be a huge amount. I already did my donation and any amount counts to help make a difference. Yesterday we got our first blue sky after this storm and believe me it lifted hope in all the affected areas. Thank you and I hope you decide to make a difference now that you have been given the opportunity. 

This is not only for Houston, but for all of South Texas.

Moment of Silence.

Not only for the people in Manchester, but for the whole world. 

Bombs. Shootings. Attacks. Innocent people dying. 

These things have become so common, it is devastating and shocking. 

It is upsetting to see how ugly the world is turning. 

To see people die because of the hate other people have in their hearts. 

I don't normally like to touch on upsetting subjects, but I found myself reading articles, listening to people who witness the explosion speak about what they saw, seeing parents worrying and crying because their kid is missing, seeing the pictures of the victims and watching videos of what happened at the Ariana Grande Concert in Manchester. 

It is upsetting because I was at her concert just last month and I talked about how amazing the night was and how it was my first concert as an adult and to think people passed away in an event that is suppose to bring people together, it's heartbreaking. 

Just imagine some of these kids where probably experiencing what a concert was for the first time. Some just wanted to see their idol, be in the same room as her and sing her songs at the top of their lungs. Some where probably there simply to accompany their friend/kid/partner. 

Which ever the case may be. 

Kids where there. KIDS. This is how horrible humanity has become. 

Babies are coming into this world and we must unite and build this world to be better, for this generation and for the new generations to come. 

A moment of silence. 

And a prayer for everybody. 

For the people in Manchester to the people in Syria to the people in Venezuela to the whole world.

Turn hate into love.

"Hoping for better days."
