There’s no place like home, and no home is completely safe

Many of us own homes in areas considered to be living on the edge of ecological, topographical and geological hazards. Despite warnings based upon science and past history we keep flocking to these areas and paying the price because the view and lifestyle outweigh the risks. Martha’s Vineyard is one of those areas, hanging out in the Atlantic detached from the main land and in the flight path of hurricanes and Nor’easters. If you live in one of these so-called risk areas in time you will probably be touched by one of nature's phenomenas, but what about if you play it safe?

Some people are more cautious and look for what they hope will be a safe haven. There are no guarantees in life no matter how cautious you are or where you choose to call home. Two beliefs I try to live by are: You get what you most try to resist; make decisions coming from love not fear.
