My friend, Sue Johnston, MBA, ABC, is a certified EQ coach living in Bermuda. She just sent me an email about hurricane Fabian - the worst hurricane to hit the island of Bermuda in 50 years. She wrote about how terrifying it was to know it was coming and knowing it would be closer and stronger than anything anyone they knew had ever
experienced. One of the local hotels, she wrote, was serving a cocktail called the Fabian - the little umbrellas were turned inside out. You have to do your best to keep it light, while staying careful. We're in the middle of the ocean. There's nowhere to go. We can't drive out of danger.

·Do what you can to sensibly protect yourself
·Then count on your optimism and resilience, EQ competencies And don't forget your sense of ...
... humor and to celebrate afterwards--and to give thanks. ©Susan Dunn, MA Clinical Psychology, cEQc, The EQ Coach, http://www.susandunn.cc , here to assist, inspire, support and transform your experience of yourself, your life, your relationships, your
