No or this week. Today, I want to briefly share something important.

California has been rocked by 65 wildfires in 2020. These disasters have burned more than 6, 000 square miles and displaced a great number of californians. Beyond that, many have lost their homes and some have even lost their lives. I have partnered with the fine folks over at Something Ghoulish to both celebrate their second anniversary and help raise funds for those who have been affected by this year's "fire season".

All you need to do is donate a minimum of $1 and not only will you be making a difference in someone's life; but you'll also be entered into a drawing for this awesome gift bundle! I know times are hard, so if you can't donate; it would be greatly appreciated if you would at least share this post with others so we can all pitch in.

Thanks for your time and consideration! 🙂
