LA Fires and Finding Gratitude in Uncertain Times

During the LA fires, I had to evacuate and even though I had more time than so many others, I was frozen in the chaos.  I was frustrated and felt completely frozen about what to take, knowing that time was ticking, and yet nothing felt more urgent than my family and my dogs. In those moments, it really hit me how uncertain everything can be—how easily everything can be swept away. Some people lost everything: homes, livelihoods, even loved ones. And while I’m so grateful to still have my family, my pets, and some of my possessions, I’ve realized that it’s the people we love and our safety that truly matter. It’s a painful reminder to be grateful for what we have, even when things feel uncertain. My heart goes out to all those who lost so much—it's a reminder of how fragile everything is.Support the show
