California Burning :(

As you may know, I live in Northern Nevada, just 45 minutes from Lake Tahoe and 4 hours from San Francisco. When we want to get away we visit Northern California. The wine county, the coast, San Francisco... it is a beautiful drive from my place and there are always so many wonderful things to see and do.

Right now, my heart is breaking for Northern California. I can't imagine what these people are going through. Entire neighborhoods are gone. Living in the high desert we have a plan. It is there in the back of my mind, what I would grab if the worst was to happen and I had to evacuate. The pictures, the dogs (my kids are grown)... I always joke that I would have to grab my clay tools and the sewing machine. The fires that are burning in No. Cal. have reminded me that you don't always get the changes to grab and go, sometimes you just go and sometimes you don't even get that chance.

If you have a spare moment and believe in prayers, healing thoughts, sending strength and energy or just sending up request to the Gods..., please send your thoughts and prayers etc. to all of those in disaster areas, I think people can use all the good energy they can get.
