This book will help determine what no longer works well for you, how to re-establish personal boundaries within varied relationships, and ways to live your values while honoring yourself.

Prayers are with , fire chief, AZ fire crews, , and fire crews helping mitigate this tragedy. & varying first responders helping on site, with pet rescue, offering resources & a kind word 🫶.
Thanks to the Hotel Assn. of Los Angeles where it was reported that its members took in thousands of LA County residents (many with pets) who have been displaced by these fires. Hopefully other accommodations open their doors. 🏙 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/california-fire-maps-palisades-eaton-hurst-2025/
