Two of the most intense of the four elements are fire and ice (ice being the frozen form of water). Touch either with your bare hand, and you will feel their contact. Journey with me through the fire of a California mountain wildfire, where my cozy life as a rich housewife and mother burned up. I walked through fire to find a new life teaching English in frozen Russia. Missing my children, my heart like ice, I learned to walk across the frozen rivers of Samara. Read about this journey in my “Fire and Ice” book. Watch my Youtube video that I narrated with my own voice. Know that you, too, can survive contact with the wildest elements.

Thanks. I took it near Lake Arrowhead where I used to live, in the California mountains east of Los Angeles.

Thanks; it’s from the California mountains where I used to live with my 2 children whom I miss so much and haven’t seen in almost 3 years.

Oh, dear – I hope you get to see them soon! I’ll stop complaining about only seeing my daughter twice a year. 😦
