eo ambulatum atque omne in fumum et cinerem vertitur.


Explanation:
Lit., 'I go for a walk and everything is turned into smoke and ashes'. 'Omne, etc.' is the corresponding Latin idiom (from Horace) which means 'to go up in smoke'.

agree  Joseph Brazauskas: But 'curae meae' must be subject nominative. (Sorry to stress grammar, but I consider that words, however apt, are only part of linguistic communication; grasmmar is equally necessary). Please correct me if I'm mistaken..
