Thinking of Pinehouse tonight.
I had the privilege of working there, and the community has always had a special place in my heart. Seeing the evacuations and knowing how hard this is for everyone — families, Elders, kids, pets, and the wildlife — hits close to home.

While the official updates are being shared through the right channels, I just want to send love, strength, and prayers to the community, the people, and the crews working tirelessly.

You’re not alone. ❤️

Up north I’ve seen how a community’s spirit can carry people through the hardest times. The fires can’t burn away that strength — my prayers are with you all

Heads up aurora chasers!
NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center is tracking a slow-moving CME (coronal mass ejection) that left the Sun on July 23, likely from a filament eruption aimed at Earth. As it interacts with Earth’s magnetic field around July 26–27, we could see increased geomagnetic activity — with conditions reaching Kp 5 and the potential for minor G1-level storms.

That means the aurora could be visible much farther south than usual — if the skies are clear, look up!

“Wrote a book once. Shocked me too.”
It’s called The Little Boy Who Found Happiness in the Most Unusual Place—based on a true story from up north, where I worked with youth who’d been through hell and still managed to smile.

It’s about grief, hope, and accidentally discovering that sometimes your weird little hobby (like photography) can save your life—or at least your sanity.

If you or someone you love has ever felt lost, sad, or just plain done with the world, this might hit home. It’s helped more people than I expected… including me.

This isn’t a sad post—it’s a reminder that some moments are too perfect to be coincidence. The night Nikaya passed, she was buried on the island directly under these lights. I set up a time lapse that night… this was a still from it—long before AI was even a thing.

If you’ve ever questioned life after death, or wondered if you’ll ever see your pet again… here’s your sign. 🌌💚 I'm still mind blown 6 yrs later...
