How Do You Make a Split Without Screaming?
This summer reminded me that as our children grow, parenting changes too. Teenagers and young adults bring a new balance to find, and I’m still figuring it out.
Simply be yourself, as if, it was possible, at least bite into it!

Time in Amsterdam became much more than a family visit. It was a journey through history, resilience, community, and hope—reminding me that while we cannot change the past, we can choose how we carry it forward, rebuild, and bring more light into the world. 🤍
Learning to trust the flow of life means letting go of the need to control every detail and staying connected to what truly matters: our values, purpose, our people and the bigger picture. Often, the unexpected becomes part of the journey.
As our children grow, parenting quietly changes too. This week I reflect on family, summer, finding a little space to breathe after years of raising children, and the joy of watching them become more independent as they discover their own paths. Happy 250th birthday to the United States of America. 🇺🇸🌿
We are constantly told to work harder, trust the process, stay consistent, manifest our dreams, or simply let go. But what if success, fulfillment, and personal growth require both effort and surrender? A reflection on perseverance, trust, achievement, and finding our own path.

Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers 🤍
As many of you know, making the invisible contributions of women and mothers more visible has always been at the heart of both my art and Unchained Mothering.
Today, if you’d like to support me and my artistic journey, you can also help make my mother’s contribution more visible ✨
I’m currently in 1st place in my group in The People’s Artist presented by Johnny Depp, but the race is incredibly tight and every single vote truly counts.
Voting is free and can be renewed every 24 hours 🙏
Thank you for being part of this journey and for supporting art, mothering, women, and visibility.

Summary
Complaining.
Comparing.
Feeling.
And ultimately — trusting.
Because in a single week, life can hold everything —
what breaks the heart, what limits us, what lifts us, what finally comes through.
Life holds a portrait —
sometimes visible to all,
sometimes only to oneself.
And somewhere between what is seen, what is felt, and what is understood,
we are simply learning… to trust that things unfold as they should —
and that it is also in our hands to choose to trust,
and to make it for the better.
A week balancing art, family, community, and reflection — from honoring women’s legacy in Coconut Grove to preparing upcoming artist talks at MIFA. As Women’s Month begins, this moment feels like a reminder that art and humanity remain deeply connected.
A week between cities and responsibilities, creativity and family, exhaustion and gratitude. From Vegas to LA to Miami, from exhibitions to Shabbat, from lists to sunsets—learning to slow down, prioritize, and trust the rhythm of life. One step at a time, with faith, love, and perseverance.
