I don’t know what to post. I decided to put some cuteness on my insta feed. This is my precious, hyper, and snuggle boxer. His name is Boss. If he sits on you that’s a good thing. I’m giving him extra kisses and hugs the last few days.

It’s heartbreaking now. 💔 Southern California is my hometown. I was born in Los Angeles. I’ve donated to

I’m blessed that my family and I are safe. Thank you to all of the first responders and firefighters keeping us safe. We have no power now. My kids have no school today. I’m keeping strong for my family at these difficult times.

I wanted to let my clients know that I’m here for you if you just need someone to talk to. You’re not alone. Big virtually hugs! Even though, I don’t have power, or have limited internet/cell phone service. I’m still here for you. There might be a delay on responses, but the best way to reach is by phone. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

Stay safe 🙏🫶

The last few days have been devastating for my community. We’re safe. I know some of my friends got evacuated and school is shut down now. No power, limited/spotty internet reception, and the air quality is bad in the Camarillo and Somis areas. Praying for the ones that having a hard time with the fires and losing their homes. 🙏 ❤️‍🩹 Big virtual hugs. Be safe out there.

I’m not sleeping well. The smoke/air quality made my eyes sting and I’m extremely top heavy. I’m just blessed that the family and I are all safe here. Thank you for my friends and family that reached out to us yesterday and today. Praying for my community. Thank you for all the amazing first responders and firefighters for keeping our community safe. 🙏

I’m hoping my friendors at and surrounding area are safe. 🙏
