• #soulfulsunday Through scrolling and seeing so much devastation & tragedy from so many friends — lost lives, lost homes, lost hope — I can’t help but feel upside down. Through all the terrible, my weekend was personally surrounded by extra love and family... exactly one year ago today, my mom “went to heaven” (that’s what my girls and I say — she used to call all of us her ‘angels,’ so now we talk about how she’s watching over us). 😇 And today, right on cue in our [Armenian] church, we learned that *this weekend* happens to be Feast of the Holy Archangels — celebration of spiritual beings who reside next to God and fight for GOOD. (I’ve gone to church my whole life and *this* is the first time I’ve heard of this longtime tradition of celebrating angels.)⁉️ I guess timing really is everything. Just in time to comfort us about our angel. Just in time for all of us on the West Coast who need more good. For everyone hurting from this most awful week for California, whatever the reason, I hope we all feel angels among us.❤️ #thefabmom

  • #flashback “Whisper ‘I love you’ to a butterfly and it will fly to heaven to deliver your message...”🦋 #momsanddaughters Always. ❤️ This looker found me earlier this year (as I was watering my plants, on what I remember being a particularly hard day). My girls and I stood over it, admiring it’s delicate beauty, for almost five whole minutes. We like to think it was listening to us... to relay our conversation elsewhere. On extra lookout for butterflies this weekend. 😇 A love letter for us mommies who miss our own moms, my latest on @momdotme. #linkinbio #TheFABMom

  • #WisdomWednesday to believe in... PINK LEOTARDS. RED COWGIRL BOOTS. OUR SELVES. This week, someone I’ve known for a long time (but haven’t seen or spoken to in a while) gifted me with reassurance — reassurance about who I am, what I value, how I think. THANK YOU. 🙌 Cheers to finding+keeping confidence and *believing ourselves* like a 6 year old decked in red cowgirl boots. #thefabmom

  • OF COURSE #IVoted... 🇺🇸 I also told my daughters that the best part about today is supposed to be how *EACH CITIZEN* has a right to vote with privacy and pride for our own reasons, values and beliefs — no matter how many friends/celebrities/colleagues might try to inadvertently demonize and bully based on false/ignorant assumptions about who/what *should* be voted for according to their point of view. If we disagree? Fine. (Hello and bless you, America.) But don’t threaten and call names when no one has done anything wrong besides disagree with politics. ❤️Here’s to welcoming this child-like excitement about voting. ❤️Here’s to being energized & passionate about longtime beliefs. ❤️Here’s to *CIVILITY* winning this election. Period. Because our kids are watching.💛#momswhovote (And yeah, I dug up an old pic because I love her joy in this... her arm is all better now.)😜 #thefabmom
