Found this photo online of my neighbor's house burning (2 doors down). Very sad.
This is the last of the bad news, I promise!!!! With ashes come renewal: renewed growth, renewed gratitude, renewed focus.
I am grateful to say that Audrey the Great Dane and I are returning home tonight! I am so looking forward to cleaning up and getting settled (literally...I feel like a kid going to Disneyland...I am jumping up and down. My co-worker just asked what I ate for breakfast! I'm sure the Lucky Charms aren't helping).
Now is the perfect time to go through items I haven't used or worn in 6 months and donate them. There is something so refreshing about lightening your load. Some of you must think I'm crazy as I've pretty much 'lightened my load' as much as anyone could, but you know, after that brief moment of contemplation when I had to decide what I should grab and put in the car as I ran out the door, I realize I could afford to give myself a little more freedom.
Lots and lots of love to you all.
To be continued...

So was anything damaged? I'm so thankful you Audrey are doing okay!!
Hey girl! My backyard up to the house and a large corner of the front yard, down on the street, burned. I was so grateful to get back to my place on Friday night...smoke filled and all!!!!! I have a whole new gratitude toward my home, my neighbors and my community. Love, love, love!
Aww that was SO close!! So close. And I can imagine going through something like this would change your perspective on a lot of things ya know? Crazy...
