Just returning from visiting with my family and Mom in Chicago, my feet are firmly planted once again on the ground back in Washington. This beautiful land is being challenged on the northeastern portion of our state with the biggest forest fires ever recorded. My thoughts are with all the people who are evacuating their homes, fighting to stop the movement of the fires and for those who are feeling so much at this time.
 Times like these bring out the best in humanity. When we have a common cause to focus on together, we really find the compassion and heart to see our connection to each other. My prayer is that in rebuilding after the devastation that we might remember more easily the deep connection to each other. May we be open to creating a new and connected community and heal ourselves as we work to help heal the land and the animals who are also searching for new homes and recovering.
Blessings and Healing Thoughts,
