Representation matters. Being an ally matters. Pride matters. 🌈

&Juliet is an amazing jukebox musical. This is the second time I’ve seen it (first time on Broadway) and we were able to catch the 1,000th performance.

#newyork #nyc #broadway #&Juliet
A detailed stage set for & Juliet featuring a large, colorful neon-style sign that reads “& Juliet” in ornate lettering with stars and flourishes. The backdrop includes brick walls and a vintage London street map. The floor is checkered, and set pieces include paint cans and scaffolding, creating a whimsical, creative atmosphere. A vibrant stage scene from the musical & Juliet, featuring the cast celebrating a milestone performance. The backdrop reads “Shoreditch” with vivid lighting effects and street-style art. Cast members hold shiny pink balloon letters spelling “1000!” and heart-shaped balloons. Performers are dressed in a mix of modern and period costumes, with joyful expressions.

Genuine connection starts with self-awareness. Understanding ourselves is how we begin to truly understand others.

I know I’m a little late to the cottage cheese trend— but these easy bagels made with cottage cheese, flour and baking powder are absolutely delicious! Did I mention they are filled with protein? 🥯

Spent some time at the National Zoo this weekend and got to see the pandas (again)! It’s amazing to have them back—watching them munch on bamboo and explore their new home never gets old. I could watch them for hours! 🐼 #PandaPals #NationalZoo #Smithsonian
A giant panda walks on a smooth indoor surface surrounded by bamboo branches and wooden climbing structures. The panda has a black and white coat, round ears, and a curious expression. A giant panda walks towards the camera, partially framed by wooden climbing beams and bamboo stalks. The panda’s black and white face is prominent, with dark eye patches and a focused expression. A giant panda sits on the ground, leaning against a wooden climbing structure while holding and chewing on a piece of bamboo. The panda looks relaxed, with one paw raised, and is surrounded by scattered bamboo stalks.

Took my first ride in a Waymo car earlier this month in Phoenix—no driver, just me and the open road. Against the backdrop of desert mountains and towering cacti, it felt like the future had arrived. Smooth, quiet and a little surreal if I’m being honest. #SelfDriving #Waymo #Phoenix

I had a wonderful and relaxing time at the Omni Scottsdale at Montelucia. The view of Camelback Mountain in the background made it even more beautiful. Phoenix was the perfect place to unwind and recharge.

Two tall palm trees stand against a rocky mountain backdrop under a bright blue sky. Green shrubs and a building with a brown-tiled roof are visible in the foreground. A Mediterranean-style tower covered in ivy is framed by tall palm trees. The sky is clear and blue, contrasting with the earthy tones of the building and greenery. A lit fire feature surrounds a stone fountain in an outdoor lounge area at night. In the background, a swimming pool, palm trees, and a silhouette of mountains are visible under a deep blue sky.

Palm trees, green shrubs, and a desert-style landscape surround a building with a terracotta-tiled roof in the background.
