SoCal Fires
It’s amazing how you could easily forget the simple pleasures of life. It’s so easy for me to complain about having to clean the pool because there are so many leaves in the pool…… then realization hits! People are loosing their homes. People are scared for their LIVES.
If any of you have been keeping up with the footage of the fires, its very scary. Foothill Ranch is home to eclectic Paperie. I’m not worried about the product. I’m worried about my friend/business partner, Daisy. These are some pictures that Daisy took while picking her kids up from school.
Scary, isn’t it? She has more of an update on the eP Blog.
The fires were about 7 miles from my house. But, these fires were yards away from Daisy.
To my friends and family, don’t forget the little things that make you happy. Take the time to cuddle your significant other/children. Enjoy the simple pleasures in life.
To our eP customers…… shipping may be delayed due to these fires. Please let us know if there is anything critical you need right away…… I know Daisy is concerned about getting these orders out. But, my concern is that she and her family are safe and AWAY from the fires.
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
Much Love….. Joy

Joy your post made me tear up again. . . geez. On Sundays, I like to set goals for myself. Well this last Sunday, I decided my goal for the week was going to be to enjoy life’s little pleasures. The simple things in life. WOW. . . after all of this, it really puts things in perspective and makes me realize even more how important it is to enjoy those little things in life. I’m thankful that Daisy and her family are okay, and that their house made it!
Joy – We are praying for you!
Best wishes to all of you. You are in my prayers. We had fires out here last summer and it was so frightening. May the winds blow the right way and rains come quickly.
Oh, my! You all be careful, Joy and Daisy! Good grief, don’t worry about those orders, just take care of yourselves!
Keep safe and well!
My dear Joy. What a terrible trauma. Please know that I am thinking of you girls. I can’t imagine what you are going through right now. Please take care.
