Stay Beautiful Colorado

My heart hurts for those in Colorado, especially those in Colorado Springs.

As many of you may know, I just spent the last 10.5 months in Colorado Springs.  I moved almost 4 months ago.  The thought that something this tragic, of this magnitude, could devastate something so beautiful, so serene...boggles my mind.

My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by the wildfires in both Colorado and Utah.  If I could be back in Colorado Springs right now, I would.  Even though I only spent 10.5 months there, it was a significant time in my life.  It was the first time I was ever really on my own, by myself.  I was happy to call Colorado Springs my home--and I hope to call Colorado my home some time in the future.  Colorado will always be beautiful.  I look forward to the day that Pike's Peak will be visible through all the smoke.
