Sometimes I feel like Geronimo - not the warrior, the beaver. You know, the one Idaho Fish & Game kept dropping out of planes in the late 1940s to test whether wooden boxes (with air holes!) and surplus WWII parachutes could safely deliver beavers into the wilderness. Geronimo went through multiple test flights, packed neatly in his little hinged crate, parachuting down again and again until they perfected a system that popped open on impact so he could waddle off like nothing happened. That beaver was a pioneer. A fuzzy little crash-test dummy with dreams of freedom. Some days, I too am just along for the ride — strapped to a decades-old parachute, hoping the box opens when I hit the ground.

Francine the cat walked into a Lowe’s in Richmond back in 2017. On Sept 18, she accidentally boarded a freight truck and vanished into a 1.5 million sq ft distribution center. At first, not everyone at the facility was eager to help but once the community rallied, everything changed. Now, thanks to the internet and a lot of heart, Lowe’s has gone full Mission Impossible: • Thermal drones • Six infrared cameras • Morning briefings for workers • Footage reviews across the facility There’s even an Instagram — @wheresfrancine — leading the charge to bring her home. It’s proof that the best tech isn’t about innovation for innovation’s sake — it’s about how people use it to care. Here’s hoping Francine finds her way home soon. 😭🐾 https://www.instagram.com/wheresfrancine/

When the food is top tier, the music’s smooth, the wind’s clearly on payroll, and the sun knows my drink’s best angles. ✨🍹

Some people collect watches in NYC. I collect ingredients you can’t buy without connections. Latest haul: Vietnamese coffee beans + Greek baking chocolate. Infusion time. ☕🍫

Help I’ve somehow attracted the attention of the executive chef, who personally came out from the kitchen to hand-deliver me gloves so I could eat my lobster with my bare hands. And yes… that is a lobster bib 🥹🥰

i lied. i’m not asleep. i’m wide awake thinking about one question that keeps coming back to me like a little ember in the dark: what’s something you did recently that reminded you of the kind of person you actually want to be? doesn’t have to be grand or good. just real. maybe it was helping a stranger. maybe it was saying no. maybe it was choosing peace… or choosing chaos. whatever it was - it made you feel like you. tell me.

20-minute catch-ups should be an Olympic event: brewed lemon balm & st. john’s wort tea, tucked tired friends into leg compression boots, delivered a lap cat, handed out surprise gifts, and wrapped it all in warm conversation. gold medal in cozy hospitality speedrun.

you know what’s also important? committing to giving up. i’ve decided to let go of ice skating. i think about it every week - but it’s time to pour my energy, time, and resources into other athletic pursuits. pick a lane. grieve it. let it go. make space. 🧊💔✨ i’ll just be the aunt or mom no one expects to be good on ice… until i bust out a little razzle dazzle. kind of like being great at karaoke without being good at singing haha

mother’s day just passed, and it reminded me how many forms love and care can take. i’ve spent years nurturing - myself, my people, my spaces. this year, i’m trying to be gentler with myself. to honor the quiet work i do. to celebrate the kind of care that often goes unseen. i can be really harsh with myself. noticing every detail, every miss. but maybe this year, i learn to notice the love too. for everyone mothering in their own quiet ways - I see you. and i hope you find a moment to see yourself too
