Our community and just beyond has been hit so hard this week. First the incredibly senseless act of violence at the Borderline Bar and Grill where so many lives were lost and families and friends will never be the same. My heart truly bleeds for all who have been affected by that terrible tragedy. Then so many families having to evacuate due to both the Hill and Woolsey fires. Many have lost their homes due to the Woolsey fire. The above pictures I took in my own neighborhood yesterday.
This is an amazing community that is strong and resilient. Seeing such an incredible outpouring of support and love to both the shooting and fire victims further solidifies our decision to move here 16 years ago. Feeling very blessed that we live where we do. It's important to remember that mourning the loss of a friend and/or loved one is a very long process. Those who were affected by the senseless shooting at Borderline Bar and Grill will continue to need support for many more months and even years to come. I hope they continue to receive the same level of support and love during this incredibly difficult time, keep them in your thoughts and prayers. The victims of the fires need the same, as losing your home, memories, etc. is an incredibly painful experience as well. I wish I had the ability to make things all better for all, so incredibly heartbreaking. Hopefully all of those who have lost their homes will be welcomed into someone else's with the upcoming holidays, to at least feel some sort of sense of normalcy. The winds are calmer at the moment. Wishing all residents of Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Oak Park, West Hills, Newbury Park, Camarillo, Calabasas, Topanga Canyon and Malibu a break from all of this. And, a speedy recovery for those who have lost their homes. I hope all come together to donate whatever you can to help these victims who may now be completely without food, water, clothing and other basic necessities. Much love to all.
