Intermission
The weekly blog will be temporarily unavailable for eight weeks or so. I have had fusion surgery on my right ankle and the first six to eight weeks of recovery means I will be one-legged. At 77 years old, this has required a lot of planning to accommodate my circumstances. I have a lot of help and support for which I am very grateful!
I plan to be back blogging at the beginning of the new year. Wishing you all a very blessed Thanksgiving, Solstice, and Christmas!!
Much love and many blessings to you all!!
Update
Thank you all for the prayers, meditations, rituals and good wishes!!
Twice in two years fire has come within a mile and a half. Miraculously, twice in two years my home has been spared.
It was palpably obvious that Fire, First Responders, Police, and Municipal agencies learned well from the fatal and destructive Tubbs and Camp fires. Yes, there were the massive evacuations, (I was evacuated twice), that were a real pain; and power shut offs, that were very costly. But there were no fatalities, and only 174 homes were lost, instead of thousands!
This is a new kind of fire for Northern California…Hurricane Fire. Wind speeds in Healdsburg reached 90 mph. We saw videos of ‘fire devils’ spinning wildly, erratically changing directions in an instant.
My neighborhood is re-populating. Our gas was turned on last night about 7:30…heat, hot water, a working stove, oven and dryer are welcome comforts.
There are no accolades great enough to describe the dedicated effort of all those mentioned above! We are all profoundly grateful!
Blessings to you all!
