Hello dear,
The fires in California have left so many of us heartbroken—homes destroyed, families displaced, lives forever changed. It’s a powerful reminder of life’s fragility and the weight of witnessing such loss.
If you’re struggling to process your emotions right now, know you’re not alone.
Even from a distance, witnessing tragedy leaves its mark—sadness, guilt, helplessness—all of it is natural, even if it feels heavy.
This is where journaling can help
Journaling isn’t about perfect words or fixing what feels broken. It’s about creating space—a quiet refuge where your emotions can flow freely. It’s a simple act that can help ease the mental clutter and guide you back to yourself.
Write it all down:
• The heartbreak of witnessing so much loss.
• The guilt of safety when others are suffering.
• The helplessness of not being able to fix what feels overwhelming.
And as you write, remember: even the smallest gestures of care can make a difference. Whether offering a prayer, donating, or simply holding space for others in your heart, these acts ripple outward in ways you can’t always see.
* Organizations accepting donations
But just as important is caring for yourself. You can’t pour from an empty cup. Whether through journaling, taking a quiet walk, or simply sitting with your emotions, small moments of self-care can help you find balance and strength.
To support you, I’ve created a free journaling guide. It’s a gentle resource designed to help you navigate difficult moments with clarity and calm.

Healing begins with small steps. Maybe yours starts today—with a moment of stillness and a pen in hand.
With warmth and care. Prayers to all affected.
