Hi from Arizona. Where it’s sunny. Hot. And a darn good time.

Are you seeing this? Are we still using this platform? 😊

‘Women, why don’t you smile more? Men, why don’t you sexualize and demean and disrespect women LESS?’

Ummmm yessss.

While I have a picture in my mind of a person I’d like to date - why limit myself to a list of physical features? I think we can get stuck there. People are so much more than how they look on the outside. Get to know someone. My list of kind, sweet, loyal. That’s the best one.

If you don’t do yourself a favor and go after what you really want in life, chances are you’ll end up with major regret or major resentment of someone.

I veered, off track, from true joy and fully loving myself. For too long. But I’m back - and will use Valentine’s Day as a marker and celebration of my self love journey ❤️

You do you. Always & forever 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Conscience. Compassion. Courage. If they exist in you, embrace them proudly. Today and every single day ❤️

Don’t let the news devastate you. Don’t let the news make you sad. Or tired. Be inspired by your people. And your beliefs. And arts. And culture. And love. Stay in it!

I went to Momocho and drank Hibiscus margaritas and ate goat cheese guacamole and chips and the remainder of the night shall be watching An Affair to Remember and we have to keep ourselves happy. It’s a tough time. Stay happy!

Some days feel like we are living inside a video game. That someone else is controlling. For fun.

Keep posting happy content. We need the happiness. The joy. The love. The good feels. Please. Keep. It. Up.

For Valentine’s Day this year I am giving myself freedom from all dating apps ❤️ Because I love myself most!

How I start my day!

Watching breaking news on social media these days makes it feel like every day is either Groundhog Day or April Fool’s Day.

Ok, Tartine in Rocky River. So fab! ❤️

Yep. Gettin after it 🚲 Happy Sunday!

Don’t keep people in your life who disrespect you because you fear being lonely. It’s 👏 NOT 👏 worth it.

Sporting Valentine colors ❤️

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

A good one, Y’all 😊

I’m hungry. It’s 4:25 am. Chocolate. That’s my mind right now.

All I know is I could use some Cassata cake from somewhere in the beautiful eateries of Little Italy, Cleveland ❤️

Ugh to the places canceling DEI initiatives. And Pride initiatives. Makes me sad and mad 🙁

Please use if you need. Please share if you care ❤️

I have created an Instagram account for women empowerment and women-inspired stories. I’m so passionate about this. I believe it is so important to have a safe space to connect. Now more than ever. The inspiration - never ending. Your experiences matter. Keep. Going.

If only my Dad could see it!!!! Love you, Dad! Love you, #OhioState ❤️

The beauty of today is scrolling to read posts of the amazing quotes and thoughts of DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.

I’ve spent my weekend connecting with girlfriends near and far rather than men on dating apps and my heart is full ❤️

Welp.

Just because people look happy and make you think you’d like their lifestyle - remember to consider that they actually aren’t what you’d want to be, in your own life. Love yourself. Stick to who you really are for the highest form of happiness ❤️

A gift to me 😊

✨Let all that doesn’t matter roll off you and melt into the ground. You’ve come so far. Be the best version of yourself - the self you want to be - and let others see you strut forward in your power. You got this!✨

If you learned that you weren’t going to make it to 2026, what would you start doing today?

✨The things you are going through. You are not alone. Sooooo many people are going through a variation of what you’re going through✨

✨Today is Tuesday. Tomorrow is Wednesday. The year may be different, but you will be the same person tomorrow you are today. No need for looking to tomorrow with big resolutions or major ways you’ll change as a focus. We want to set ourselves up for more happiness, not failure✨

✨Be the light of your own life. Wake up and think about what YOU want to do today and who YOU want to spend time with today. The truth is, it may just be YOURSELF - and there’s nothing at all wrong with that!✨

Friendly reminder✨ You have complete agency over your life and your story. Live it. Own it. Love it -and love you 🥰
