Two weeks ago today, we lost our home of 20 years that brought refuge, security, and peace to not only myself, but members of my family and numerous friends. The costumes my Mom collected throughout my career since my first job, my Godfathers artwork and handmade furniture, my first tap shoes, my first ballet shoes, the plumeria tree, the papaya tree, the olive tree, the handmade Guadalupe…all gone. So many birthdays and holidays celebrated, stories written, meaningful conversations had, tears shed, deep breaths taken, flowers planted, meals shared… We were constantly visited by falcons, finches, and hummingbirds. The sunsets and sunrises were nothing short of magic. Kiki and Evolet thrived into old age sunbathing with the ocean breeze. Each detail inside and out was chosen with such care. The small and tight-knit community was completely burnt down by the Palisades fire, and many residents were senior citizens who are now displaced and needing to somehow start over. The vastness of the destruction is impossible to grasp…impossible to fully digest… I ache for every single family and individual who has lost everything. As heartbreaking as all of this is, I am encouraged by the resilience of my community I witnessed firsthand this past weekend when we all gathered for the first time after the fire, by the outreach of friends and the small gestures that mean the world… I am also so encouraged by the bravery and heroism of our Fire Department, of the volunteers around Los Angeles, the companies and restaurants donating inventory and food, individuals opening up their homes and resources for those in need… as a native Angelino…Thank you. We must continue to come together with compassion and empathy for the long road to recovery and rebuilding ahead… ❤️🙏❤️ (I will be posting helpful resources in my stories ) *This first photo was taken by resident and captain in the Fire Department Alek Edwards who put his life on the line trying to save our community
