1
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: Dear wonderful, beautiful listeners. It's me Janet, Hello from the

2
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: Palisades here in Los Angeles where the fires happened. I

3
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: got an airbnb here because I'm having a writing camp,

4
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: my first writing camp of the year, for my new

5
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: music that's coming out. And we chose this place because

6
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: not only is it in my hometown in LA but

7
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: because it's near the ocean. But most importantly, I chose

8
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: this location because we want to make beauty out of ashes,

9
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: a place that suffered so much loss, so much, through

10
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: so much pain, so many tears. We want to be

11
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: able to bring joy into this space and into this location,

12
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: into this area, raise a freakqu andcy and bring beauty

13
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: here and bring healing and community and know that even

14
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: in the midst of darkness, something beautiful can come out

15
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: of the situation, kind of like the rose that grew

16
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 1: through the concrete sort of thing. Kind of like that.

17
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: Driving up here was very heavy because I did see

18
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: homes that were lost completely and I can't even begin

19
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: to imagine, which prompted me to pray and to pray

20
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: for people that I don't even know. But I am

21
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: happy to be here. I'm happy to be surrounded by

22
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: amazing writers. I'll probably walk in right now into the

23
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: house so you guys can say hello, or they can

24
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: say hello to you. Guys. It's a beautiful day. The

25
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: birds are chirping. The wind feels so nice right now,

26
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: blowing through my hair. It feels caressing my cheeks. I'm

27
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: wearing a leopard print bandana because I didn't wash my

28
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: hair today. I washed my hair every four days. And

29
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm wearing a jersey that's yellow and green and it

30
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: has a big sun in the front of it and

31
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: a horse. Actually it's not a horse, it's a unicorn.
