We had a little stress test in Anchorage this week.📈Or, actually, we had one BIG one (a 7.1 magnitude earthquake) and 100s of smaller ones.

The sound of it is what’s sticking with me… crashing, breaking, shattering, groaning, @sco7tt and I shouting to each other, the snap of the power going out… There were only about 30 feet between us - he was in the bedroom, I was in the kitchen. I ran to him as soon as the shaking stopped and we were ok. Dave never got off the couch! 🐶 😴

The aftermath… checking in, cleaning up, riding the waves of hundreds of aftershocks (and a little vertigo) and really, marveling at how lucky, safe, strong and supported we are.❣️
We are so fortunate that our building codes, neighbors, lucky stars, angels and overall preparedness protected us. ✨😇👷🏻‍♀️

The same magnitude quake killed over 100,000 people in Haiti in 2010.😔

Life is fragile… so many, all around the world, are so vulnerable. So many, right here in Anchorage, are suffering from anxiety, exhaustion and doubt.

And so… stop! Marvel at the next spontaneous breath that brings you life again! Notice, you’re ok (even if the whole of you doesn’t feel ok, notice that there are probably some parts that are just fine.) Notice a few other things… bring your mind into the moment. Use it to navigate, cultivate, fully accept and embrace it all! It’s all so temporary… get it!!
