Signed off for a few weeks to enjoy our honeymoon, but we did in fact make it to Greece! 🇬🇷

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. We’re soaking up this very happy time ☺️ and are just so glad this trip was able to happen.

Worried about New Orleans.
Distressed that Tahoe is burning.
Stressed that my honeymoon in Europe/much needed time off might not happen.
Processing all the loss the virus and natural disasters continue to cause, for all of us.
Oh, and normal work and week-of-my wedding stress.

Blessed, but really stressed and…exhausted. It’s hard to hold it all at once.

In case you need to hear it, please take extra good care of yourself. The world is a lot right now.

(Turning off comments for this post but truly thankful for your positive thoughts. And sending love to all those affected by current events - I know I’m not alone in my present stress or struggles and that is one of the reasons I am sharing about them.)

These times we are living in make it hard to feel

These times we are living in make it hard to feel any kind of centeredness or certainty.
Still, I’ve never been more sure of anything in this world than I am about you and me. 💍

Hands down my favorite part of New Orleans to stay

Hands down my favorite part of New Orleans to stay in is the Garden District 🌿 Not too far from the French Quarter action, but just far enough to get lost amongst beautiful homes, canopies of trees, front porch goals, and Magazine Street boutiques.

Happy to report that the magic of New Orleans supersedes the summer heat, flight delays, even an ever-evolving pandemic. 🎷🍸✨

This was my first trip in 18+ months. It was a celebration I had always dreamed would take place in Nola, and it took place with a fully vaccinated small group. I personally felt safe visiting while taking precautions there, but would’ve felt even more so given their newly announced restrictions.

Forever my favorite American city (after SF, of course!) Such an incredibly unique and special place 💛

I feel elated. The stress is lifting, the weight in my chest is lessening. Is this what joy feels like? 🙌🏻

I won’t hold back any of my joy because I believe, I KNOW, that even the people who voted for Trump in this election will be better off with Biden as president.

And to top it off, today is a historic day for America — our first female Vice President, an intelligent and strong woman who is Black and Indian-American. Our girl from the Bay. YES KAMALA YES!!! I’m thrilled for Joe as well, a good man who has devoted himself to public service, bipartisanship, and to being an empathetic and kind leader.

I invite you to join me in celebrating this historic day!!!! So many of us can now breathe easier, and take the next steps toward healing this deeply wounded and divided country.

A win for democracy is a win for us all. That alone is worth breaking out the champagne for 🥂🇺🇸

Woke up to a huge wakeup call that I wish everyone

Woke up to a huge wakeup call that I wish everyone in America could experience. It’s now past noon in San Francisco and it feels like the middle of the night. This picture is unedited, but the camera picked up more light than is present. It’s still so dark in my house that I can’t get around without the lights on.

We’ve gotten used to seeing and breathing smoke, but I never considered that there would be so much it could block out the sun almost entirely.

Understand that for us this comes after months of highly unusual weather patterns, including lightning storms and heat waves. The climate emergency is more urgent and dire than any of us realize.

I feel strongly that this is a preview of the future of this planet without serious and immediate change.
We need ACTION on #ClimateChange NOW.

PLEASE look into sustainable practices for your home and VOTE like your life and future generations depend on it. Don’t wait until seas rise or smoke blocks out the sun where you are.

Listening.
Not just today, but every day moving forward. That is the only way this becomes lasting change.
