Intermission

Mental Chew has been a little off this last week and I am mentally and physically exhausted. There has been a tragedy in my family and I need to regroup. My cousin went snow camping up on Rainier and hasn't returned. Huge search crews have been launched and on Day 12, still no sign after a major three day storm and a week plus of severe storm conditions on the mountain. This is a story without an ending. I went to the westside of the island today where I can look across the straits to the mountain and had a word with it. Please love today. Love this moment in your life. Create memories with your children and put the household chores and computers aside.

Please be patient with me and check in for updates.

XO,
Val

    Val, we are thinking about you and your whole family as each day passes. I have a little prayer candle on the sand in front of our palapa and as I light it each night, it's with prayers for safe return of your cousin and his companions.
