Dear Shasta. Dang do I miss you. It’s been 4 years since you decided to exit earthside in pure dramatic story telling fashion at the beginning of Covid (a virus we thought might shut down the world for a few weeks). You passed away in my arms, in our van that we called your New York apt (for its size compared to your size), while @edipattersonhi and I drove ourselves home from South Carolina to shelter in place. I lost you when we were all collectively losing reality, as many others were also losing loved ones. I will remember, etched in my brain the pain of those minutes and hours and days. But more, I will remember what a loving and kind soul you were. I will remember the mountains of joy you brought to me and still do with your spirit. I will think of how my daughter laughs, in a very knowing way, every time she sees a photo of you. She even sometimes calls you her puppy. You expanded my heart. You taught me how to care for another being so deeply that this motherhood thing feels slightly familiar. We’re hugging you from this side of the rainbow bridge. Thank you for being the best fucking dog. Paws on my shoulders, head on my head. 🖤
They’re not the most restful days. They aren’t the easiest. I don’t know the last time I slept right or did an entire task. But they are the best days. And they’re fleeting. I’m soaking them in. ❤️
Saturday morning rail yard ritual. Friends and market and food and dogs and coffee. So much coffee. And laughs and jumps and kids that were babies yesterday. And mushroom soup. And sorry, and excuse me, and you need to go potty? Arm in arm and dinosaur chases. My heart in a morning, full and grateful. For so much. And for the friendship of the one and only @ninaburke and her photography skills. 🦖👩🏻🌾❤️
Snow much love ❄️❤️

Happy solstice …..during a bright moment on the darkest day…. To know the darkness Outside and within To let it just suck When it’s clear you can’t win To know when the balance Needs time to align When your patience is a virtue When you bend and shape time When you find what light you can Even just a sliver When you’re grateful for what is When you embrace the shiver. The center is a stop On a wild and bumpy ride Can you carry your contentment When your world is on its side? I cherish this darkness For to me, it means rest But there’s more shades of it now Different versions of my best. All I can say is do less Breathe more and smile lots Whatever feels heavy, will be clearer When you connect the dots. Give yourself grace. Let your patterns dissolve Because you’re not alone in this darkness. And if we allow it to be, It can help us evolve. 🖤🖤🖤
How it feels To be safe To be kind To be patient To be blind To the things you don’t know Until you do. The rebuilding Of everything You thought that you knew. How it feels To be grateful To be wrong To be humble To be strong In the mind as well as the arms To hold this space Like you hold her body All limbs and weight And breath and grace. How it feels To be here To feel real To be wild To be free To grow our desire To hope to inspire With our toes at the fire 🔥
God I miss sleeping like this. A not so rare photo of me as a child, and my tendency to fall asleep anywhere and everywhere. 😴
Dancing in the almost moonlight
Dear Bebe. We love you THIS MUCH. Thank you for being our valentine ❤️
The pooch mcroooo turned another year wiser and I couldn’t be more stoked to be his sister, his friend, his peer and his cheerleader…which I actually was for his basketball team as a preteen. I’ll go find those photos. You’re an incredible man, father, husband and actor. Always in your corner. LOVES. 1…2…3….
Shredding final weekend at @skisantafe 🤍🤍🤍

My almost 2 year old took this photo of me last night. How? I have no idea. But it’s my favorite.

Find the earth. Lay there.
That’s my family. Among the palms. Laughing and running. Being together. Makes my heart sing. These moments we are in the same place. Dreamy 🌴🤍
