Carr Fire My Home Burned Down
Hello Friends and wonderful people wanting to help those of us who
have lost our homes in the devastating Carr Fire in Redding CA.
July 2018
Thank you in advance for your support. It means the world to me.
The home I lived in burned in West Redding, as the Fire jumped the
Sacramento River and quickly climbed the hill into our neighborhood.
My housemate and I are still searching for our beloved dog, as the fire moved so fast, we could not get into the neighborhood to rescue him.
My friends on Facebook have named him "Fur Baby"! I love that!
I am a renter, without insurance, without a cushion to fall back on. So
pretty much starting from scratch to rebuild my life. Any financial help you can lend will be a godsend for me.
I've been studying to build a new career as an online marketer,
but income is not coming in yet, and I'm just on a little social security
income.
I'll give more updates as things start to settle. Friends have offered
places for me to stay short term. And this funding page will help me
position myself to be able to pay rent while I build my new income. And also I will be using the money to make some repairs on my auto, so that I can drive safely to the places people are offering me temporary
lodging.
Thank you so much.

First signs of my writers voice sprouted through the ashes today. And this amazing photo I found, captures well the feeling of new growth emerging from the ashes.
Today's writing
Whispers from the Ashes
Identity goes up in smoke
Grief becomes immense
As so much of what has been precious to me
Gone so quickly
Radically ripped and stripped away
I see so many seeking, searching
So massively sensitive I am
Right now
As images of the fire
Keep returning
Field of Grace
Each trauma creates a new shift
Within
Potential for greater depth
and in time
Insights
Striving to be authentic
Ever returning to the sensitivity
May it serve as an entry point
Into Being.
Into Feelings.
The Field of Grace
The Well of Grief
I hear the world wail
in its sorrows
So many sorrows
A word of caution
Be aware of tendency
to spiritually by-pass feelings
Jumping into the head
These are times ripe for connecting
Head with Heart
Head can inform
Heart will lead
Stay inwardly connected
Moment to moment
Live tenderly
Be a safe place
for self
and for others
