Real experiences of heartfriends catapulted into situations that test their metal and dip into reserves of faith, energy, ingenuity, courage and determination are the survival stories you will be reading.

We can learn much from these true stories. They awaken us to the importance of being prepared now for any possibility, even as we continue to visualize, hear, smell, feel and taste the very best outcome for Mother Earth’s future and our own.

Our thanks to our contributors for taking the time to record their experiences.
