San Diego, you sure know how to make a girl feel special. Thank you so much for these honors. I am blown away— and so very aware how downright blessed I was to be embraced by the San Diego community. Thank you, thank you.
Terrible video but had to share. Employees handing out chips. Starbucks handing out drinks. Customers offering their baskets to strangers trying to hold all of their items. Sometimes the most uncomfortable situations can actually bring out the best of human nature.

Also if you’re thinking it would be funny to do that sometime. Don’t.

Lol! Lighten up. Are we so far off that we have to mock finding the good in a not so ideal situation? Of course there could always be worse! That’s not what this tweet was about, but I’m glad it made you laugh.
I spent $44 at Taco Bell last night and it issued a fraud protection hold on my debit card. I’m not sure if I feel proud or embarrassed… but I think this is a feeling of pride.
Not a sight you see every day in Southern California, specifically San Diego. We’ve got the second round of a series of storms making it’s way to our area. Be safe on the roads, everyone! Francella Perez says this stuff is graupel! I learned a new word today!

This is Chase Sweetwood. His aunt tells me he died the day before his 19th birthday. He is one of the eight service members missing and presumed dead after a training accident off the coast of Southern California. I was honored to learn about his life today.
Wait. You’ve missed the point. Speak your truth. Period. No other message except to empower women, like yourself, to stand strong in who they are & the justice they deserve. Guess what, Tomi? She’s rallying for you. In spite of all your anger. She’s rallying for your voice, too.
Speak your truth they declare!! Oh unless you’re a Conservative or support the president, then you’re a Nazi, racist, intolerant bigot. Give me a break.
UPDATE: I am heartbroken to share the news that Oceanside PD located Sara Celeste Otero’s body near Camp Pendleton late Tuesday. Because of the location she was found, a helicopter was used to remove her body from the bottom of a cliff.
Foul play is not suspected.

One of the kindest souls I’ve ever met and I can already say working with him will be a highlight of my career one day. (& yes, he’s still speaking to me after this surprise.)

this is so disturbing. On an encouraging note— from scrolling through for a minute I haven’t found a single tweet/person that thinks this is okay.
CORONAVIRUS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA: I spoke to a passenger on the final flight from China to the Tijuana International Airport. These photos are what he saw as he stepped off of the plane. We’ll have his story and more as two cases have been confirmed in Southern California.
What example are we setting for the next generation when adults are the ones spewing such hate? We can and should do better. Think twice before you hit, “send.”

We were far away and the tear gas was still overwhelming. I can’t imagine how it felt for those any closer. We saw children. Elderly. All asking for water. If you are in the area please stay safe.
Baby you’re a fireworkkkk ✨✨ & since I can’t watch a show from work, I’m wearing my own sparklers tonight. Happy Independence Day, we certainly have a reason to celebrate this year.
A true legend leaving the KUSI newsroom after 17 years. It was an honor to learn and grow from her devotion to seeking the truth and sharing stories with compassion. It’s made me a better journalist and person.
This is a BIG day! This is my final day at KUSI-TV! The pandemic has given me the chance to reflect and reassess. After a lot of thought, I’ve decided to make a change to pursue other interests and goals. I will share my farewell in the 6 and 10 pm news shows.
