Oh @michele-b thank you for sharing these stories with us, as painful as they were for you to write and for us to read. The great suffering of those who have perished as well as the resilience of those who fight for survival bring tears to my eyes. I pray for you all.
Oh thank you! That brings me to happy tears. We are doing great. Our family..houses are miraculously still standing ashes jndude and out and no doubt smoke damaged. They can be cleaned out, new things can replace anything ruined eventually.
But having a home still standing lifts people up beyond imagining. I kept praying/ imagining their houses surviving even the brother in laws who house was 100% surrounded by the Beachy Fire (many fires together in Lyons/ Detroit/ Mill City canyon towns called all together Canyon River Fire but many individual names
Both bros in laws homes still standing, all their 5 grown kids houses, all their 9 grown grankids houses deemed in safe streets or towns( as far as we have heard)
Smoke is so thick . I am slways the canary in the mind 20 out of 20 categories for high empathy abd i am an empathic energy healer by innate dna from grandmother's in Finland to Alaska pioneering and France to Canada to Cajun area of Louisiana pioneering immigration.
Huge blessing for helping others but ripe to get whatever no matter what i have studied/learned over my decades since high school in the 60s when gifts were activated.
Blessing more than not one.
I know how to help and knew my whole life it was my life mission.
Why i am here on this site though only 2 friends and husband know. Hahahahaha!
Blessings and gratitude to you and all sending love and light. I am stronger for it from all of you.
@michele-b we will help sending light and visualizing the best outcome for all those affected. And for you dear friend love and strength always. Hugs and prayers.
Can't find the link now, but WA and OR wildlife departments are commenting that displaced wildlife will be moving toward towns to escape the fires. This includes birds, deer, elk, coyotes, cougars, bear, and birds. They will be exhausted and need to rest. Keep your pets indoors. And put out a bucket of water for them.
Thank you for updating us.
What beautiful blessings. They are always there if you look for them, and you have found and shared so many. These days will always be remembered by your family members. Your grandchildren, great nephews and nieces will have so much to tell their grandchildren about the Great fire and how it brought everyone to together during the Great Pandemic. How Grandma made sure everyone was cared for with love and compassion. How Grandpa made breakfast which felt like a feast. How everyone gathered in love. How the animals became friends. How grandma was prepared with her canning and all her vegetables and fruit from the garden. How everyone learned what mattered most.
This could be an inspiration for a beautiful children's book!
A young miracle calf was born during a wildfire in California.
The farmer was trying to move some cattle to safety we she came to a charred field of grass and saw a newborn calf.
"She was still covered in afterbirth and the ground was wet from calving. Her eyelashes were burned. I just stared at her in disbelief. I didn’t know what to do, so I just loaded her up on the four wheeler and moved her to safety. It was incredible. I was so worried because her first breath of air was smoke. She was minutes old and a fire burned right over the top of her.”
The calf is doing well.
@lovendures Even in the midst of Death life prevails, miracles abound all us. Thank you so much for sharing this story.. my Soul is singing!!!!
A bright spot out from the Oregon fires.
Cowgirl 911 Oregon has been responsible for rescuing around 20,000 animals from approaching flames. It is a dispatch group formed with volunteers only last Tuesday and has worked tirelessly rescuing mostly farm animals. The calls go out where the need is and volunteers with trailers and trucks go in and make the rescuers to bring the animals to safety, sometimes with only moments to spare. They will be working on bringing animals back to their unburnt homes shortly.
Michele, you are a light worker extraordinaire! You have created a haven in the hell. I have no doubt your love and care and meals are doing magic. I hope you stayed rested. I'm applauding you from across town and sending you love. Call if there's anything I can do to help!
@jewels
You are so truly truly special Jewels and so dear! Thank you sweet spirit!

Love love love these stories ! Deputies here rounded up caught and transported one of our relatives cows and put them into safe pasture. No link like yours just the world famous family gossip line.
He verified it though said he'd tried and couldn't do it himself. Too big and skittish and kept getting away. Takes a real Cowgirl or a Deputy Sheriff to get those critters in line!Hahahahaha. And 17,000 strong!
Heck i could have used a crew like that on our littles ones. I had to entice mine with bubble baths and floating toys! I needed a lasso and didn't realize it! Hey-yah!!
Grateful for "Mr. Roger's helpers" all!
Well I asked for more info on who rounded up my extended family members cows..it was a couple of girls catching cows and horses.
Bet we had Cowgirls 911 after all. Just love it. Power of the Divine Goddess is rising or Mary or Mother Theresa helping the downtrodden helpless and abandoned!
This reminds me of a Hallmark movie from 2005 called The Colt.
A foal is born to a horse that belongs to a Union soldier during the 1864 Wilderness campaign. The Wilderness campaign was additionally horrifying because the woods caught fire and trapped many soldiers on both sides. His commanding officer orders him to shoot the foal but he refuses.
The story is about the hope the foal represents during a dark time of hardship and despair.
WOW!
I am so happy you shared that with us Michele. Who knows, it might have been them. If not, it was some other wonderful group of caring people.
So much love and care finding it is way to you and yours sweet Michele.
Love to you.
@michele-b, keep being a beacon of light! I cannot help but seeing all wildlife able to escape getting to your home for help. Now that would an image;-)
