My Dear My Girl Community,
As many of you know, on January 7th, fires began tearing through much of Los Angeles, CA. Thousands of families have lost everything and are now tragically displaced. On the morning of the 8th, I woke up to the devastating news that our new family home—the one we were just days away from moving into—had burned to the ground, along with much of the beautiful Pacific Palisades community.
This wasn’t just a house for me; it was the start of something new. It was a dream that felt so “right” in every sense—a chance to build a safe, loving home for my children and a fresh beginning filled with hope. To lose it so suddenly has been beyond heartbreaking. Yet, even through my grief, I’m reminded of how fortunate we are to have each other and to be safe. My heart aches for those who have lost so much more.
I share this deeply personal experience not for sympathy but as a reflection: A new year doesn’t always promise a fresh start or your “best year yet.” Sometimes it brings challenges that break us down before building us back up. Life doesn’t always make sense, but I’m turning to faith and community for strength.
My heart is shattered for Los Angeles and everyone affected by these fires—for the physical and emotional loss, and for the uncertainty left behind. But one thing these fires cannot take from us is our humanity—the way we unite, the way we help one another through unimaginable times.
This is where we can make a difference.
