On December 30th, 2021 our community was shaken by tragedy.

A brush fire, fueled by 100 mph wind gusts, quickly evolved into fear, mayhem and devastation.

Over 900 structures burned, many of which were completely destroyed.

People were forced to evacuate their homes, and told to only grab clothing for a few nights, important documents, and flee.

It has been a tragic ending to 2021 and a devastating beginning for so many to 2022. So many coping with “what do I do now?” “How can we re-build our lives?”

This event is a reminder of how quickly things can change, in a flash.

My family and I are OK, our home is ok, my business is ok, our school is ok. So many people (including friends) were not as fortunate.

I know the community will come together to help rebuild, regenerate and re-grow.

You can help too.

To start, anyone and everyone can help by putting more love into the world. And love is the ONLY thing that can truly overcome devastation.

Again, hold your loved ones tight, spread compassion whenever you can (positivity can spread faster than fire can) and make today the best you can.

Love to you and yours,

Dr Lindeman
