Hurricane Harvey: What Utahns Can Do to Help Now
Since making landfall on Friday, Hurricane Harvey has devastated much of Southeastern Texas with historic flooding, leaving tens of thousands of residents displaced and in need of help, not knowing when they’ll be able to return home. Several lives have been lost, and the death toll is still unknown. This deluge of rain, fierce winds and raging floods could result in the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history.
And the storm isn’t over. Early this morning, Harvey made a second landfall near the Louisiana-Texas border, and more heavy rain is expected in the region. The National Weather Service warns that “catastrophic and life-threatening flooding” is still a threat to southeastern Texas and portions of southwestern Louisiana.
Those in the wake of Hurricane Harvey are dealing with the immediate destruction, but recovery efforts could take months. Watching from afar is difficult and may make you feel helpless, but there are several ways to get involved and help in these efforts. Here are some organizations providing urgent relief and essential services to flood victims during this ‘unprecedented natural disaster.’ They need our help now!

Welcome, 2020! We made it through the first week of the New Year and are already excited for what’s to come in this brand new decade. Anything can happen, and we have so much to create! Whether you’re a fan of long-term resolutions or prefer setting smaller, short-term goals, it feels good to start the year off with a desire to change for the better. If you know us, you know our approach at Novation Title has always been goal-centric, not only within our business but in our personal lives and out in the community. In today’s world where we are constantly connected (and distracted), it’s no wonder that we increasingly find ourselves overwhelmed mentally and physically drained. Often, the issues in everyday life are the ones that prevent us from enjoying the very same everyday life! How can we balance this out? We believe we can do better. That is why we are introducing meditation into our workspace. While meditation has been practiced for over 5,000 years, it is increasingly becoming a necessary way for us to unplug from the modern world. But what, exactly, is it? Meditation is a practice where an individual uses a technique — such as mindfulness — to train attention and thoughts. Mindfulness is awareness, it is a state of peace. It is being in the present moment, intentional and serene. It is the process of being aware of your thoughts while also disconnecting from them so you can connect within. Connecting within is the highest form of intelligence and results in proven mental, emotional and spiritual health benefits. Here are just a few science-based benefits of meditation: Reduces blood pressure Increases serotonin production that improves mood and behavior Improves immune system Increase in energy levels Lessens stress and anxiety Increases happiness and creativity Clarity and peace of mind Increased memory retention and recall Enhances self-awareness and self-acceptance Each one of us, regardless of gender, age or other factors, undergo daily stress and tension at some level or the other. That’s why we’re so excited to introduce #NovationMeditation into our business and we encourage others to join us this year. We can ALL benefit from improved mental and physical health in 2020. Who’s with us?!
