Happy Birthday my baby Sky You would be 24 today if your life hadn’t been tragically cut short at the change of year. You squeezed a lot of living into such a short time. Though the last few years were hard for all of us – you most of all – you were loved. We loved your laughter and your fantastic sense of humor, both sophisticated and silly. We loved your courageous adventurousness, your brazy boldness, which was terrifying but also inspiring. We loved the casual way you wore your beauty, your endless curiosity, your love of animals. We loved the sisterhood you had with your friends, your endless playfulness, your kindness to children and seniors, your careful perfect handwriting, your silly big toe. We loved your ability to have a good time. I hope you’re having one now. What I want to say to you today, yesterday and every day, in the words of Cleo Sol, Know that you are loved Even if you don’t love yourself Inside, you always knew. You once said to me, “I’m loved because I’m lovable.” Yes you were. Yes you are. I release you to the universal wisdom and kiss you up to God❤️

This man was a hero for so many of us. In this season of loss of some of our greats, Sidney cuts deepest. I was blessed and honored to have studied his career and work, read his books and most of all to have gotten to know him as a friend as I prepared my tribute to him for the 74th Academy Awards, edited by the great Teri Shropshire. *Link in bio
Tis the Season of Gratitude❤️I’m deeply grateful for the family that brings me Light, Love & Laughter. It was an amazing weekend❤️Love & Gratitude to my amazing friends, my inspiring students and colleagues and all the astoundingly talented people who’ve graced my life. I LOVE YOU❤️HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
For those of you who didn’t catch it on stage. You can still see history being made at @metopera
Our beloved and hilarious friend, Howard Hessman, has left us. We cherished every moment of his friendship. He made us laugh till it hurt. He could use language like no one I’ve ever met – a wonderfully comedic wordsmith. He was a brilliant writer of long, witty, eloquent emails; a passionate recommender of books and music. A very opinionated shopping companion. He was also the minister who married us, a flower in his teeth, on a boat off the coast of St. Tropez. He and beloved Caroline are part of the village that raised my children and will forever be family. I will miss you, Daddy-O. But I know you’re making the angels laugh (and appreciate jazz!) I love you man❤️
