Catching up on reading and sending you love, Cathy.

I also could apply your words "Staying present, and focussing on my next step is all I can do. Slowly progressing on my personal timeframe is the only way forward." to a (very different) situation in my life and I needed them right now.

For that, and the fact that you are safe, I am grateful 🧡

Gosh, Cathy! What an upheaval! My mum recently left a sink tap on for hours causing much damage albeit relatively contained... But much palava ensues with insurance and drying and eventual redecoration... So, much empathy. Sending strength and patience xx

i’ve been thinking of you recently as my next module in Sustainability is on Food... And wondering about your book - i’m very out of touch with LWS - is it published? Can I get a copy??

Cathy, the insurance company should cover clean up of your furnishings. I had an electrical event at our home, power line fell on our garage. Serve Pro is a local company. They assess, recommend, get insurance approval. Take care. Let us know...
