Baja is a magical part of the world. The sea meets the desert ✨ The whales brought tears to my eyes. The food brought comfort. The ocean helped move my emotions. The moments with my parents brought joy. And exploring the Baja peninsula solo awakened my adventurous spirit again. Life is precious and complex and beautiful. ✨🫰🔥🌊

A magical 48 hours in Oaxaca to celebrate @acgutowski and @alexcress27 getting hitched in the most epic wedding I’ve ever witnessed. There was a gold adorned church dating back to the 16th century, a parade through the streets, a band that set my heart on fire, and a lots of dancing 💃🏻 Wishing these lovebirds a lifetime of laughter, shared adventures, mutual respect, deep friendship, and so much joy 🎉🫶🏻

Apollo and Luna have both crossed over the rainbow bridge. I’m picturing them reunited, chasing butterflies and running through high grass. They have filled my life with joy for 13 years. They entered my life at pivotal moments and somehow caring for them helped me navigate life on life’s terms. They were bold, playful, sassy, and loving. I used to call Apollo the mayor of NYC because he never met a stranger (or a dog) he didn’t befriend. Luna was my good time girl. She brightened up anyone’s day with a sweet snuggle and an invitation to play. Sometimes I don’t think I know who I am without these two extraordinary beings, but then I realize they are apart of everything I am, even if they no longer walk this earth with me. Our adventures were extraordinary. We navigated cross-country moves, life changing divorces, and a really epic sobriety journey that started in 2012 (still going, one day at a time). These angels taught me how to live, how to be an adult, and how to care for something so deeply beyond myself. This is a peek into our magical life together over the years. Dogs are truly a blessing and these were mine 🫶🏻. Apollo b. May 3, 2012 d. February 24, 2026.Luna b. September 16, 2014 d. October 5, 2024.

Winter ❄️ it’s been one for the books. Skiing in new places! Time with family and friends. Finding stillness in the frigid, dead of winter ☮️ I can feel myself transitioning to a new phase of life. There are moments where it feels a bit overwhelming and scary, but mostly beautiful and hopeful. BUT the best part about this season has been the warmth I’ve felt from my female friendships. It’s been a game changer. You all are the best, I’m lucky to have each of you in my orbit 🫶🏻

Yesterday marked one month since I lost my sweet Luna. The pain of having her gone feels insurmountable some days… But I’ve been so blessed with visits around the country to distract my broken heart laughing with close friends, reconnecting with old acquaintances, sharing memories with family, pouring my love into Apollo, and letting the water keep my emotions moving and processing. Thank you to those of you that have held space for me and helped me find little rays of joy in the darkness of grief 💕

This beautiful baby is 10 today. It feels like a miracle considering she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in April. She has so much strength, spunk, kindness, love, playfulness, and more. She teaches me daily lessons about resiliency 💛🌙 Luna is such a blessing 🥲
