I have neither the words nor enough caring-heart emojis to tell you how I feel about today’s Taali Talk. Not nearly enough. Love to you both ❤️

If you need anything Taali…I am just over the bridge from your Nana. Please reach out any time for any thing.

I’m crying. I love you. These words are the words. I love you. I’m so glad you and Jose are safe. I am so glad you are with family. One minute at a time. I love you.

Taali…I am so grateful to hear that you and Jose are safe and with your loving family. Please take it one minute at a time…try not to let it overwhelm you. And as Kate said below…your home is safe because it was supposed to be. It is ok to feel grateful. Sending you so so much love my dear. Hugs to you and JJ ♥️

Tenacity, thy name is Talia.

Judicious, thy name is José.

And a whole lot more.

Relieved AF you both are safe, and sequestered where love already lives.

As I told my dear friend (who lives with her wife and their son in Pasadena, and is safely with family elsewhere right now), their house will be safe because it is supposed to be.

And I say the same to you, Empress t, and your king.

Quoting Florence Scovell Shin, "so it shall be. Or better."

Beaming love.

Dear Taali, I wondered about your home…my cottage made it too, though we cannot enter for now. Go easy-everything feels adrift. (I’m the lady from the Rite Aid lot). May these winds not buffet us,

Jean

I can imagine what you guys are feeling. LA is my second home, moved back to NYC three years ago and my family is still out there. I’m sending you guys, and everyone, so much positive love and peace. Prayers for the vulnerable week with returning Santa Ana winds and determined albeit exhausted firefighters!❤️

Love you so much Talia, so grateful you’re both safe. Take it one hour at a time, if you have to take it even 1 minute at a time. xo

Thank you for taking the time to write this in the midst of the chaos you are enduring! Very glad to hear you are safe, that you left the toxic smoke to preserve your health, and have found support from many directions. May it continue! I am praying for you and your neighbors.
