Times of great challenge, crisis or loss

lead us to reflect

on what really matters.

My heart aches for those in L.A.

and the decimation of so many homes

I’ve stayed in & loved over the years…

Having arrived from the

land of ice and snow

in Antarctica (video below)

to scenes of an apocalyptic inferno,

it’s hard to find the words.

So I wanted to share

someone else’s––

what I found to be one of

the most beautiful posts recently.

It comes from legendary actor

Anthony Hopkins who wrote,

“As we all struggle to heal

from the devastation

of these fires, it’s important

to remember that the

only thing we take with us

is the love we give.”

To that, I would add,

we also take the memories.

A good reminder for us all…

Risk Forward & Live On,

P.S. For those who have asked for additional images from Antarctica, here’s a 2-minute video. The stillness-purity-majesty is otherworldly, putting so much into perspective.
