…. And here it is, our “home”, December 2025.

One decoration - a wreath - although somehow a few of the strands of lights are still on the trees that survived… Untouched

This is how our home looked every Christmas for the past many years since began decorating our house and surrounding trees in millions of sparkling lights. ✨

I will never forget the sheer joy in Yves’ eyes each year when we would step outside and walk across the street to marvel in awe at the stunning, meticulous work of art Sean spent hours upon hours on...🙏🌟💫

SO PROUD ❤️

Last December, Yves completed his trophy swim, he swam nonstop for 90 minutes and completed 2/3 of a mile.

He had been swimming since age 2 with coach Sharon, our friend and neighbor of 16 years, she lost her home in the fire as well.

Today she surprised us by delivering the trophy with his name, engraved in it, as she has been doing for all her students who also are no longer in our immediate area 🙏

Thank you so much, Coach Sharon. We love you and miss you and to our son; Yves, we are so proud of you! Undoubtedly this will be the first of many!!

(First post not about the fire in 2months!   )

This pic was taken two days before that fateful day.

Yves and I were at our Brentwood, Sunday, farmers market, and I had the honor of meeting someone I highly respect in the field of functional medicine and women’s health .mindypelz

I first learned about Dr Pelz’ work in the summer of 2024; her book Fast Like A Girl was my summer beach read in Kona and I tore through it.

It was the book I’d been looking for, for years;  not only to fine tune my own fasting regime, but to use as a tool with my clients.

Fasting is an ancient remedy and when properly understood and executed, it is a true panacea.

The key is understanding how to do it in a way to best support your health goals.

Fasting is all too often positioned as dangerous; granted, there are certain times when one would not want to fast (such when pregnant or breastfeeding).

There are also certain populations that may need more support (such as anyone with a history of an eating disorder).

Aside from that, learning the many benefits of properly cycling a fasting regime into your schedule can be the single most important thing one does to completely change the game from balancing hormones, improving mental focus, resetting the gut biome, addressing anxiety and more.

She even created a chart that any woman can follow (whether they have a regular cycle or not) which has also proved to be an invaluable teaching tool.

Dr Pelz was every bit as lovely in person as she is on her podcast and in her writing style.

It was a true pleasure to meet her, and everyone who’s interested in optimizing their health can truly benefit from all her work!

Our home for 16 years. I don’t know how many thousands of meals I must’ve cooked in my beautiful kitchen where I spent about 80% of my time.

When Chris and I moved back to Los Angeles in 2009 after three years in the Pacific Northwest, we spent a weekend looking for a home, but didn’t find anything. We happened to stop at Gelson‘s on the way to the airport and picked up a publication showing this house was on the market. We headed back to see it and it was love at first sight.

We moved in on November 1 that year, and it is impossible to list all the amazing and wonderful memories that occurred in this dwelling.

One thing that helps a little as a be more is knowing that I enjoyed every single second of being in and around our hone.

I used to joke that I never left the Palisades bubble. From running in the mountains or the beach, swimming at the Pali Pool, walking into the village, grabbing lunch at Cafe Vida and the walk that Yves and I took the dogs on every single afternoon for the past 5 1/2 years.

I can close my eyes and see all of it. 💔

We haven’t yet been allowed back up to see the home that we lived in for 16 years.

This is where it stood.

I would say about half of the people I spoke with have said they don’t want to go back, they can’t bear to see it and they want to remember it how it was when it stood in its glory.

The other half say the same as I do, I want to see it.

It’s not because I’m hoping to find a thing in the rubble, I just want to see it and feel how it is to be there right now.

What a strange time to really have no choice but to be so in the present because you do not know what the next day will hold.
