VALUED CUSTOMERS & FRIENDS+

LA experiences a lot of uncertainty. Name a challenge to a peaceful life, and LA will bring it! We have it all: earthquakes, drought, floods, hurricanes, huriquakes, mudslides, and wildfires.

We’re grateful that we also have incredible agency and power – particularly when we dig in together. So many of the actions that help us address what the world might throw at us can also support our individual and community resilience.

We intend to lean in and dig in to bring beauty where we can – we know we’ll find you when we do, and we are grateful for that.

With love and gratitude,

Cassy and Kirk Aoyagi
