I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature.

You have to be resilient.

You can look at my palm and see the storm coming. Read the book of my life and see I've overcome it.

My message has always been about resilience.

I have weathered many different storms and I know who I am and my friends know who I really am.

You can find peace amidst the storms that threaten you.

Obviously, resilience matters. I was no stranger to adversity, but it's different when it's personal. Not something I would recommend.

You got to be willing to walk in a storm. That's what I tell people all the time.

I am very aware that there are many of you who have friends and loved ones in the areas affected by this storm who have been displaced or who have not yet been accounted for.

There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm.
