At the beginning of the year, I chose *play* as my mantra. I wanted to find it not just in obvious moments but also in the messy, mundane, in-between spaces of life. So when I gave my kids a “YES” day, it felt like the perfect chance to put that intention into practice. What I discovered wasn’t just fun (though there was plenty of that) — it was connection. By stepping into their world, I stayed fully present. I let them lead, made their choices mine, and joined in wholeheartedly. Seeing what sparked their play and how far their imagination carried them was pure joy. It was a gift — for them and for me. And it reminded me that sometimes the most important thing I can say yes to is simply being present.

Fifty years of Austin City Limits—what an honor to celebrate this incredible legacy! As kids, we grew up listening to Indigo Girls and Rufus Wainwright, and later, jamming to Gary Clark Jr. and Leon Bridges. To stand among these legends was surreal, and now, we get to share the evening with you. Tune in tomorrow for a night of unforgettable music! Friday, April 4th at 9E/8C on PBS, pbs.org and the PBS app
Took our firstborn on an NYC adventure—so wild retracing my steps and showing him where I went to college. Hard to believe that college is just around the corner for him!
