In Pacific Palisades, there’s a shirt that reads:
“If you’re rich, you live in Beverly Hills.
If you’re famous, you live in Malibu.
If you’re lucky, you live in Pacific Palisades.”

This week many Palisadians, including myself, who’ve lost our homes might not feel very lucky. However, I still hold onto this sentiment - there’s something special about the Palisades. While I can’t return immediately, I can’t imagine calling anywhere else home. I’ll be back and rebuilding as soon as possible, and one day, I’ll feel lucky again.
