I am popping in for a quick life update as I keep getting hundreds of emails and messages all day. Thank you all so much for thinking of me and my family in this national tragedy with the wildfires in Greece.

I would like to let you all know that we are safe as we live far away in the north. We are all shocked and speechless … may the people who lost family members, friends and houses find the strength to go on …

Thank you all so much for all your kindness, it seems that although we are all so far apart we are actually closer than we think. And this warms my heart.

Thank you.
