Grand View Escapes

03/01/2025

Have you ever had a traumatic event happen to you that stole your joy and questioned your faith? GVE property located in Lake Placid,NY was my primary residence and got hit HARD 2x, only 6 years apart.

Some people can live in the same house for over 25 years and not have a single devastating house event, while others can have multiple in short period of time.

First, In January 2018 the house suffered from a massive flood that destroyed 75% interior and 100% airbnb portion of the house due to unforeseen inclement weather, -40 degree temps resulting in frozen pipes and extensive water damage. The airbnb portion of the house needed to be gutted to its beams and cement foundation. The rebuild felt as if I was gutted from the inside out and rebuilding myself too. It took 6 months and $145k, not fully covered by homeowners insurance. I had to dig deep to find the money and emotional strength to recover.

I gave up on my passions and went into survival mode to get out of debt. It took me 3 years to recover financially and become debt free again.

My emotional wellbeing came when I got my puppy Tucker only 1 month after the flood. He helped me get through a very difficult time ti find my happiness, love and confidence again. He got me outside of my comfort zone and I found myself hopeful for new beginnings.

Then the unthinkable, unimaginable happened. On Feb 18, 2024 I had a devastating house fire and 100% of my home, including the loss of Tucker. I went to run an errand and in a short time the house exploded, caused by lithium batteries in a mobile WiFi device provided by my new employer.

Life has unusual twists and turns, and certainly I've had my share. what I've learned is that no one is exempt from grief and we all have a story about it. I did all types of healing treatments to help remove the emotional and physical pain in my body that resulted from emotional grief. It wasn't until I decided, on the 1 year anniversary, to revisit the site and have a conversation with God that involved my acceptance of the fire and loss that I felt free from the pain. I'm not gonna say I don't think or miss my life, Tucker or my home. But it doesn't emotionally have control over me anymore. Acceptance. Who would've known that it could be so powerful. The only way out of suffering, is through the suffering. 🙏

With a mix of sadness and hope, I announce my decision to let go of my dream home in Lake Placid. The memories and love I shared with Tucker will forever be cherished. I trust that the sale of Grand View Escapes will bring a new chapter of happiness and growth. I will continue to nurture my faith and let go of the past, embracing a brighter future with an open heart and mind. Grand View Escapes
