Not all heroes wear capes, but I do think the good Bishop Budde kinda does wear a very appropriately fitting cape in her bishop outfit. Definitely not a coincidence! #AAP #pedPC #inauguration

My hope is fierce as I think about the strength & grit we all need to collectively demonstrate AND take turns sharing in responsibility over these next four years. Some days you will be stronger than I & other days I you. We must do this together bc there is simply no other way. #inauguration #pedpc

My sweet Bella Lou turned 18yrs young this month. She’s been with me through life’s ups & downs since ‘09, including grad school (L.A.) medical school (NOLA), residency (Nashville), fellowship (Boston), my first job (NOLA), and second job (Palo Alto). Look at those toe beans! 😘 #dogs #oldDogs #pets
