We'd all like to live in an area untouched by environmental collapse, but that is no longer possible

7:00 AM from Ellie's Living Room

The Bigger Picture. Pretty to look at but oh so dangerous.

10:00 AM - I live just around the bend from the Statue of Liberty. A blizzard always takes me to The Day After Tomorrow.

12:00 PM - A fallen tree in Greenpoint, Brooklyn

2:00 PM - My daughter Zsia's backyard in New Jersey looking like a snow sculpture.

3:00 PM - Parents and children sledding down a snow hill as the Verrazano Bridge provided a backdrop to complete the narrative.

4:00 PM - Meet Duke, my daughter Nikki's Great Pyrenees, surveying the backyard after the blizzard.

Duke finds himself a little befuddled wading through the deep snow in Connecticut. Sometimes you just have to blend in!

Rooftops dripped in melting snow - like icing on a bundt cake as the temperature starts to climb and we slowly get back to normal.

Snow totals from Winter Storm Hernando - as the Weather Channel dubbed it - broke records in many areas of the northeast with interesting videos and images splashed cross social media and the news. Brooklyn picked up 16-22 inches of whirling, twirling, blowing snow by the time it ended Monday afternoon.

The storm was also referred to as a hurricane, a Nor'easter, a blizzard (depending on wind speed) and a bomb cyclone - setting records along the way - and affecting businesses, schools, transportation, and just about everything in its path.

Daily life paused as nature staged a full-scale winter spectacle - fierce, cinematic, and unforgettable - carving its name into the record books and human memory as another historic storm in a year ending in "6".

In less than two weeks - on March 8 - many states return to to Daylight Saving Time. This should lighten your mood if you suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder - a.k.a. SAD - part of the 'depression umbrella'.

We all know that reality and the 'human experiment in emotions' is a journey of self-searching and self-worth. Feelings make everything real but also cause confusion. Should you love yourself? Shouldn't you love yourself? Are you worthy? If you understand the simulation - and that we are all programmed to everything we do - then you'll never wonder - you'll just live it.

Your soul is forever influenced by the many aspects of itself experiencing in places you don't even know exist - along with your programming in this little speck of reality. Location: Physical Earth. Timeline: 21st Century - as humans are taught to mark events with their timepieces.

If you're feeling lost and confused about what to do next - never forget that your destiny "is" set in stone (programmed), therefore the next part of your journey will be shown to you no matter what.

The one thing we all have in common is that a final destiny in this simulation, narrative, story of reality, is unfolding, and therefore all roads are going to lead you to that end. Tick Tock!
