In case you don’t get our other newsletter , I wanted to send what I just posted there. I thought this update was too important not to share widely as the events of this week have affected us all. I hope you can join me in person to connect and heal, together. Subscribe there, too, for more of these types of posts. I’ve been posting on Instagram about the atrocities this week. It feels like there are no words. And yet, we have to find them.

Five weeks ago, I watched flames almost consume our home in L.A. on a live feed from our Nest camera. The now infamous “Palisades Fire” started just a mile from our house. Luckily, our cluster of homes was the first call of the day for firefighters – so we also watched as they saved it. Our friends and neighbors weren’t so lucky. 5,000 homes burned down as did our entire town. The scale of this loss is almost unimaginable – except I went back after and saw it all.

I’ve definitely had many not happy Valentine’s Days… when I was single in my 20s wondering if I would ever find my person… when all my high school friends got roses during school one year except me (why that tradition??)… when I was older, but, well, lonely. But this one is a good year (at least, love-wise, forget the world), so I’m spreading my warmth and good cheer — not to rub my current happiness with my husband and kids in anyone’s face, but to say some years are better than others.

In the aftermath of the L.A. fires, Zibby’s Bookshop in Santa Monica launched a pop-up clothing drive to give beautiful, brand-new apparel and accessories to families who had just lost their homes in (or had been indefinitely displaced by) the fires. Over 14 days, we served 870 families with donations from 62 brands. Local businesses helped us mobilize and we even got a two-week lease for free. So many people and brands stepped up in countless ways to make this happen.
