Community

When I wrote the January newsletter, back in mid-December, I chose Harper Lake in Louisville to feature as my neighborhood of the month.  I have always loved the little lake and surrounding area, frequently walking my dog Little Bear at Davidson Mesa. I wanted to share the beauty of this neighborhood for many reasons, including the friendly neighbors that always say hello when walking around Harper Lake. I never imagined that days later wildfires would engulf this pretty pocket of Louisville. 

I am heartbroken by so much loss but I believe in the power of community, and I am witnessing it in so many beautiful ways. From an abundance of volunteers to an outpouring of donations, people are coming together to support those who have lost their homes. As Fred Rogers says, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”  There are many helpers amongst us. If you are one of them, thank you. Louisville and Superior will continue to need you in the months ahead.
