On Today’s Show: The FBI arrests a California arsonist responsible for the 2022 Oak fire Over 197 structures and 20,000 acres were burned. The Hotshot Community loses another young fit firefighter. Prayers to Jacob Metcalf’s family. The DOI and USDA put out a joint statement on their “strategic wildfire funding plan.” It includes a plan for wages, diversity, equity, and climate justice.

A well-designed life is a marvelous portfolio of experiences, of adventures, of failures that taught you important lessons, of hardships that made you stronger and helped you know yourself better, and of achievements and satisfactions (Burnett & Evans, 2016). Unica's Note Collections is a personal journal newsletter of learning experiences and gratitude moments. There are days when I feel at peace, and it’s during those times when I’m listening to Lofi music, soaking up the quiet space in my room, and opening up a book, preparing to immerse myself in a different reality.

Welcome to the series of occasional posts I’m calling Actually Okay Advice, where I share a piece of advice I’ve come across that I think is pretty useful.

Fellow Broads, thank you for sticking this out with me! This show was a tremendous, historic, rambling mess. Sometimes it was a fascinating mess - and I firmly believe that we all need to be supportive of Interesting Creative Messes!
