Daum, CFP Fri, 18 Jan 2008 21:52:28 +0000 http://hackneys.com/blog/2008/01/18/the-inferno-of-la-cruz/#comment-37 Doug and Stephanie, It seems as if The Inferno of La Cruz may have helped keep things in perspective when you had to face the difficult circumstances of seeing your damaged rig. It is truly amazing how people and communities are often heroic in the face of disaster. It is horrifying to see the consequences of a catastrophe yet wonderful to experience peoples resiliency when recovering from ruin. We’ve certainly have seen that with two devastating fires, over the past five, years in San Diego. It gives you faith in a higher power. It helps you realize what is really important. At some point you realize that life has little to do with the things we accumulate. Rather our time here is defined by intangibles such as: thoughts, experiences, memories, pictures, stories and relationships, with those close to us. These are the things that give life real meaning. Your story helped me appreciate those important lessons today. For that I thank you! It is sad to start your journey faced with damage to your home and surrounded by people facing tragedy. I am hopeful that you will be able to repair what is broken; be able to look ahead at all that is good. Yours is a journey that helps fill our lives, here at home, with the wonders of life, through your travels. Keep traveling, keep meeting the world’s people, keep the faith, and most of all keep sharing. From this point forward I hope that the wind will be at your back and your sails full. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Warmest regards, Troy Doug and Stephanie,

Stay safe and continue to look for opportunities to grow. You continue to provide inspiration to so many of us. We love you and offer safe harbor when you need it! Patty & Ron Doug & Steph:

When things beyond your control go wrong, the only thing you can control is your reaction to them. I have complete faith in your reactions. Doug & Steph...I don't know anyone more resourceful.
