So glad you are safe. I live in a town in Colorado where wildfires burned many houses down a few years ago and our house was ok, but it is true there are so many other questions about things like air safety and it’s just hard all around. Sending love.

So glad you and your home are safe. It’s odd where our minds go when faced with something life altering.

I grew up in LA. There were always the Santa Ana’s. Fires in Malibu, the canyons… I know too many people who must now rebuild. 😥

Thank you for sharing what this harrowing experience has been like for you. I'm on the other side of the country, so this helped me to gain a more indepth perspective. Especially the comparison to 9/11, and working in healthcare have watched many of those relief workers die over the years. I hope you continue to find strength in the days, weeks and months ahead.

As I was going around town today I fought the urge to yell “WEAR A MASK!!” at everyone, as that would probably make them less inclined to do what a crazy mask-wearing stranger lady yelled at them. Thanks for spreading the word. And glad you’re safe.

Ali, so glad you are safe, and hoping that continues in the coming days. Living in fire country, I know the drill, but I've never been in a situation like what is happening in Los Angeles. I asked my yoga class tonight to take a few minutes with me as we closed to send our collective thoughts to you and all the victims in LA. xoxo 💕

I also had a disproportionate amount of homemade-soup-related anxiety this week. Glad you are safe.
