Why is this girl smiling?? Cuz today is the day she got #adopted (lo these many years ago now)! 🥰
We are all a part of a family- whether it was created by giving, getting, sharing, choosing, or even being chosen. I celebrate the ENORMOUS LOVE that being #family means- whichever part you play in the equation.
And I know a lot of you share with me the full hearted grace & deep gratitude of #adoption as part of your lives. I’m sending extra, extra love to you today.
Everybody, hug those you’re walking through this life for me. I’m sending each of you so very much love.
Especially everyone in my equation, in this realm & beyond. ❤️
ps: & a special heap of love to my Aunt Norma whom I ran smack into while cackling, cracking both of our front teeth. (see above) Mine was a baby tooth tho; hers… not so much. Sorry again, Aunt Norma!!!!!!🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
What a DAY! Got to join my dear friend @jsinger10 in #NewHaven to celebrate his journey as a #screenwriter & his most recent film #Maestro. First time I’ve gotten to go back to #Yale since I graduated! Think I was afraid they’d realize their mistake & repossess my diploma. But they didn’t!!🎉 And we had the BEST DAY! Thank you, @crystalnfeimster , #DanielBotsman, @nydiadc , Olivia , @yalefilm , @piersoncollegeyale , & Stanley the cat for welcoming me along for the ride & for fêting Josh so superbly. 🤓 And Josh, thank you for sharing your day with me. It really meant the world. 🥰
Josh & I actually didn’t meet until we’d both graduated & were living in #LA, so it was fun to show each other the spots that meant the most to each of us during our college years. To that end, see above my freshman dorm (looking good, #BinghamHall 🤩), #OldCampus (where too much went down to chronicle), the #DiningHall in @hoppercollege (then #calhoun) where I went #vegan in 1988😄, & a loving shot of #HarknessTower. 🥰
Yesterday made me so grateful that I got to go to college at all, much less there. I learned a ton- less about physics than I hoped😄🤦🏻♀️, but so much about literature, & theater, & most of all myself. But above all, I’m grateful to my mom: she let me go so far away, even after having just been widowed, & (along with the generous #FinancialAid Yale granted me & the #scholarships I’d gotten,) she paid on those college fees til they were gone, which meant I left school debt-free. I am on my knees grateful for what she sacrificed so I could have the education of my dreams. Thank you, mom.
Hope everyone is having as beautiful a weekend as possible. I’m sending each of you so much love! ❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗

My 10 favorite #Melbourne moments 🥰 Hard to narrow it down- there’s so much beauty & so much YUMMINESS! But here’s what tops my list for his trip::

• @supernormal_180 exceeded every expectation (even tho those expectations were HIGH)
• @ngvmelbourne (beautiful collection, stunning space)
• great #tram system (I never feel like I’ve really been somewhere until I get the hang of their mass transit & go to a grocery store 🤓)
• @melbournesymphonyorchestra (#Rachmaninoff featuring the amazing #NicoFleury 🥰🎶🔥)

I’m so grateful to everyone who donated over the years to help wonderful @obolpaws be able to make a difference for all the animals, shelters, & rescue organizations in Southern California. 🥰 And most of all, I’m grateful to you, Anna! 🥰 Thank you for all these years of organizing with so much love & care- for bringing everyone together! I love you SO MUCH.
Hope today is being gentle on everyone. Let’s keep spreading the love wherever we can. ❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗❤️

I know it’s been a minute but I wanted to thank everyone for donating to Operation Blankets of Love for Bellamy’s birthday since 2018. Above is the total that’s been donated since the start of the fundraiser. Y’all did THAT. You’ve helped countless animals, and I know Eileen and Brad (and the animals) are forever thankful for your generous donations (as am I).
With this said, I’ve decided to not continue the fundraiser for next year. I’ve honestly weighed this decision the last two years but wasn’t sure I was ready to end it. But it feels like the time to end it is now. Please know you can still donate to OBOL on your own whenever you wish to do so. Brad and Eileen still need as much support as possible as they continue their journey to help countless animals, shelters and rescues, etc. If you’re local to them, you can deliver blankets, food, toys, leashes, etc. Contact them on their social medias (@obolpaws) or through their website at www.obol.info.
Thank you for joining me these last couple years in celebrating Bellamy’s birthday by honoring her message of kindness and generosity and, of course, her love for animals. I appreciate everyone who took part.
❤️
