Overwhelming emotions but remaining optimistic somehow and focusing on the positive things like the fact that she is alive and that I get more time with her.

“Do you ever stop to wonder, wonder as to things as to why things are as they are? Now being an entertainer you travel a lot ~ you ride in air planes and buses and things and you have a lot of time for introspection, you have a lot of time for thought and you know how large the world is, how large the universe is and you’re actually you’re just one little speck in the universe have you ever stopped to wonder why you’re here and what you’re doing and to what purpose…” – Smothers Brothers ~ Life and The Song Of Life Album Tour De Farce: American History And Other Unrelated Subjects 1964~ I wasn’t even born yet…
#tommysmothers ~Thank you for the laughs!! Reflecting on the passing of Tommy Smothers and I can’t help but think back to my childhood in Vegas. As a kid, I’d accompany my mom to work at Caesars Palace, where The Smothers Brothers would perform night after night. Their comedy was a beacon of hope and a much-needed escape, providing endless laughter. My best friend @lolabrgeda and I would sit on the side of the stage and watched these shows and we’d memorize their jokes, songs, and monologues ~ I’d repeat them as if they were my own. Of course, I can’t remember any of them today. But their performances, alongside those of other entertainers, not only shaped my childhood but also gave me the strength and resilience to navigate life and it’s challenges. Their thought-provoking quote resonates deeply, reminding us to ponder life’s mysteries and our place in the universe. Their shows, along with those of other celebrities from the 70s, played a significant role in shaping my upbringing in Vegas. #RIP #TommySmothers #VegasStrong #vegasgirl Caesar’s Palace, Las Vegas
Happy #100th #Birthday to Art Miller and the Miller family for having this wonderful birthday party for their dad who turned 100 today!!! What an inspiration to life and good living!!! God Bless so grateful to be here and being a part of this joyous celebration!! @cbull44 @jeannemarquez9 @pattylynn56
And just like that…. This past Saturday, January 6th, an ordinary day turned into a moment of alarm for my family when my mother suffered a fall that resulted in a severe head injury. It was one of those heart-stopping incidents that remind us of how fragile life can be. She was rushed to the hospital, where the situation was so critical that she was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
For five agonizing days, we lived in a state of uncertainty, each moment heavy with the possibility of the worst outcome. The fear that we could lose her was palpable. But amidst this turmoil, there’s a silver lining that I am overjoyed to share: my mother fought through those critical days and was released from the ICU a few days ago.
It’s a journey we’re taking one day at a time, but the progress is promising. She is fully cognitive, and is still in the hospital. I’m immensely grateful. 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻 Her survival and recovery thus far feel nothing short of miraculous.
After her fall, she underwent a brain angiogram — a procedure where dye is injected to visualize the blood vessels and seal up potential sources of bleeding. This was the first major step in her treatment. We remain hopeful as we await further updates about the blood in her brain, praying that she won’t require an additional procedure to drain it.
I’d like to take a moment to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the entire medical team at Kaiser, especially the nurses and Dr. Kuo Chao, Neurointerventional Radiologist, for their exceptional care and tireless efforts in performing the brain angiogram. I’d also like to express my deepest appreciation to Dr. Grace Hu for her diligent care, compassion, and outstanding support for my mother. Without the dedication and expertise of the entire team at Kaiser, I don’t know where we’d be.
I’m choosing to focus on the positives: she’s alive, she didn’t suffer any broken bones, she didn’t have a stroke, and her eyesight remains intact. These are the victories we hold onto, the small mercies that give us hope.
Thank you for any and all well-wishes and support. ‼️♥️🙏🏻

As I welcome the new year, I find myself reflecting on the precious moments of the past week and the weight of recent losses that have touched my heart. These photos may capture the joy of the new year’s celebrations, but I also hold the memories of two friends who left us far too soon.
In the midst of laughter and togetherness, there’s a heaviness that weighs on my soul. The passage of time has a way of reminding us of life’s fragility and the importance of treasuring every moment we have with those we love. These losses have left an indelible mark, serving as a reminder to hold our loved ones close, to cherish their presence, and to honor the memories of those who are no longer with us.
As we step into the new year, I carry with me the gratitude for the love and support that surrounds me, and the memories of those who have touched my life in profound ways. Their spirits will forever live on in our hearts, and I’m reminded to live each day with purpose, kindness, and an unwavering appreciation for the gift of life.
Thank you for being a part of my journey, for sharing in these moments, and for being a source of light in my life. Here’s to embracing the new year with open hearts, to honoring the past, and to finding hope and comfort in the days ahead. 🌠💖 #NewYearReflections #CherishEveryMoment #HonoringOurAngels

Thank you, Matthew @sanddunestepper 🙏🏻 for your help and for you time. It’s incredible to see how this #standunestepper equipment will be so beneficial for my mom’s recovery. It’s astonishing that not all rehab centers have access to this resource. The bureaucracy in these places is truly f@?&? mind-boggling and frustrating. Nevertheless, focusing on the positive, I can already see how amazing this will be for my mom’s progress. It’s a significant milestone to witness her up and out of bed, especially after her fall. Using the @sanddunestepper for the first time is a challenge for her, as she works to maintain her balance without looking down. After being in rehab for 10 days, this is the first balance exercise she’s been given. Again frustrating but I’m committed to keeping everyone updated on her progress, and I have complete faith that she will be walking again before we know it. The fact that she’s even alive is nothing short of a miracle. I’m deeply grateful for the unwavering support, love, and the substantial donations to her GoFundMe, Click #linkinbio initiated by @fbvegas and @ceciliagms. It’s moments like these that truly reveal who our real friends are, and I can’t thank you all enough for your kindness. 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️ #rehab #seniorrehab #seniors #lifeafterafall #senior #miracle #miraculous #mylife #mylifestyle #trainer #pilates #physicaltherap #pt Los Angeles, California

Happy Valentine’s Day! Today, I’m overflowing with gratitude for the love and joy my child brings into my life.

I’m so grateful for every moment and the love they bring into my life. Wishing everyone a day filled with love and cherished moments. #ValentinesDay #Gratitude #UnconditionalLove ❤️
