&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.

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.

Enjoying the stunning views at Papago Park in Phoenix while attending the NSPRA Presidents Summit. This has been an incredible opportunity to learn, engage and build meaningful connections as I continue to lead and support CHESPRA in my role as President. #NSPRA #CHESPRA #SchoolPR #K12PR

🐼 The wait is over— the pandas are back at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo! It’s day two of their public return to DC. 🌿 #DCPandas #WelcomeBackPandas
Two colorful banners hanging on a lamppost with the text “The Pandas Are Here.” The banners feature illustrations of pandas surrounded by vibrant bamboo designs. Logos for Smithsonian’s National Zoo, Boeing, and FedEx are visible at the bottom. A giant panda walking through an outdoor enclosure filled with bamboo and patches of snow. The enclosure features natural elements like logs, rocks, and trees. A giant panda resting near a doorway in an indoor enclosure. The walls mimic a rocky landscape, and the floor is slightly wet, reflecting some light.

I finished reading “The Let Them Theory” — a truly transformative book. The book taught me that reclaiming my power starts with letting others be who they are “let them” — and focusing on myself— “let me.” It’s not about controlling anyone else. #LetThem #LetThemTheory #MelRobbins

Living in the nation’s capital never gets old. Whether it’s walking past the Washington Monument at sunset or discovering hidden gems in the city, D.C. feels like a blend of history and home. Every day here reminds me why I love this city and the stories it holds. #WashingtonDC #LifeInTheCapital
A striking view of the Washington Monument at dusk. The monument is illuminated against a dramatic backdrop of dark clouds and a fading blue sky, with a hint of sunset on the horizon. Flags encircle the base, and silhouettes of people are visible on the grassy area in the foreground.
