This is a video of the story of Blondie, my foster dog. In 3 weeks she went from alone & homeless running down an expressway to being in a loving forever home. You've come along way, babe. You were so brave!
Happy life, my sweet girl. I'm so proud of you & honored to have been your foster. 💛✨️🐾🐶

When I heard this, I set it as my north star. It wasn't easy to have this as a goal but now on the other side of it, I'm glad I took it on. I'm very grateful that this is what my life is like now. I never take it for granted and I know how fortunate I am to have been able to do the work.

I don't want to jinx myself & I can't contain my excitement. I applied to adopt 1 of these 2 dachshund mixes from a NJ rescue. They were rescued from a SC shelter where they could have been euthanized. Now they're in NJ foster homes. Let's see if they choose me for one of them!

Friends, the US Senate phone system is receiving 1,600 calls PER MINUTE. They usually get 40 calls per minute. Keep calling your Senators & House reps. Keep the pressure on them to keep fighting. YOU MATTER. YOUR VOICE MATTERS. Do not consent in advance.

I just paid off my student loans! I started 2025 completely debt free for the 1st time in my adult life. I put myself through undergrad and 3 grad programs. I'm grateful for everything I learned & all the people I met who've become friends & mentors.
What a way to start this new year!

What a life, legacy, & legend. How lucky we are to have lived on this planet in the time of Jimmy Carter. I'll write a proper post about what he means to me. For now, may we all find a way to live as dignified a life as President Carter. An exemplar of generosity, community, kindness, & love.

My sweet foster dog enjoyed his first Christmas and his first snowfall since NYC had its first white Christmas since 2009! His forever family sent me these adorable pictures of him. I love watching him flourish!
