I’ve been learning that you can grieve a person while they’re still here, still sitting across from you, still saying your name. Nobody prepares you for that kind.

Have you ever grieved a thing
before it was taken? What helps you through your loss?

Comment below and I’ll send you the recipe for this easy weeknight butter chicken highlighted in the video. 🤍

Two weeks ago I traveled to Pennsylvania and our plans fell apart over and over. It was frustrating, stressful and disappointing more than once. But somehow, it all worked out the way it was supposed to and I reflect on it often. Here’s what it taught me.

Plans changed, but my girl wasn’t about to miss it. Rain or shine, we ran. 🌧️🫧💙

Normalize lunch with your parents. 🤍 One day I’ll wish for just one more ordinary Thursday across the table from my mom, so I’m taking every one I can get right now. And if your parents live far away, make it a FaceTime lunch date instead. Prep your lunch, set your phone on the table, and eat "together." More often than not, they just want your company too. 💕

Life doesn’t pause for grief. Birthdays still come, banners still need making, and you show up for both. If you’re walking with a loved one through a hard season while still making room to celebrate the people you love, I see you. I’m there too.

My daughter turned 10 this weekend, and she said something that stuck with me: how strange it is that a day can be sad and happy at the same time. Without trying, she summed up life.

The Lord gives and takes away. There is a time to mourn and a time to celebrate, and sometimes they come on the same day. Make room for both, and lean on your village. Some of ours showed up to celebrate last minute and on a school night, and I’m so grateful.

Happy 10th, my girl. 🤍

Every year, breast cancer changes the lives of so many women and their families. It’s a scary journey, but with the right support and resources, no one has to face it alone. 💗

I’m so grateful for @thrivingbeyondbreastcancer, who not only raise awareness but also show up for women in treatment, including with free chemo kits. They partnered with @kendrascott and it meant so much to see proceeds go toward lightening the load, because every bit of support matters. Happy that I could be there to help support the cause. 🎀

Amazing to see local vendors come together to make this event so beautiful.

@goodstuffcoffeeco - Amazing quality coffee & matcha. ☕️
@chicdecormary - The prettiest floral arrangements. 💐
@occasions_onlycb - Amazing custom charcuterie & treats.

All jokes aside, I love my brother and I’m so grateful he’s here this week to spend some extra time with all of us, especially Dad. ❤️ Trolling each other is our love language, any chance we get. And for the record, my mom made fresh dosa for everyone… AND offered me lamb curry first. 😂😉

Beef puffs meant guests were coming. A special-occasion snack from my childhood, made with my cousin this time… and mom as our very official sous chef 😂 Lucky to have more than one amazing chef in this family. ❤️ 🇮🇳
