This weekend, she turned thirteen.

It’s not always easy to keep up with a teenager—to really understand her, to be present in the way you want to be. And if I’m honest, there are days I feel stretched thin—building something new, figuring things out, wondering what I’m missing along the way.

But she has her own way of meeting me there. She’s thoughtful, strong, and when it matters, she shows up.

She’s also been very much a teenager—pushing us, testing us, keeping things real 😅

Lately I’ve been thinking less about what we try to teach our kids, and more about what they quietly take in. She sees her mom showing up every day, doing the work, staying with it. That matters more than anything I could say.

I’m really proud of the person she’s becoming.#13thbirthday #Hannah thank you @balletschoolwc for making this easier for us 💚

Spent a beautiful morning in community with other Bay Area moms who are each so inspiring 💫 thank you @katiehintzzambrano for being a magical dot connector and bringing us together @mey_berkeley It was my fist Nowruz observance and a memory I will treasure forever

The tea was scrumptious, my latte INCREDIBLE, and the bites were really special (they offer catering and the owner is Persian so bookmark this!).

Thanks to everyone I met today or heard from when we did our little intros. You’ve filled my cup 💞

It’s the first time May gets to experience Nowruz—
to hold these pastries, these memories,
and share a piece of home with all of you. #nowruz #persian #berkeley #meyberkeley #meycafe

Today I gathered all the energy I could and started baking pastries for Nowruz.

It isn’t easy this year. My heart is heavy, and celebration feels difficult in the shadow of so much war, loss, and darkness. But Nowruz is not a small tradition. It is ancient, deep-rooted, and resilient — a celebration that has endured through centuries of upheaval, through empires, invasions, wars, and grief.

So despite everything, I am trying to gather myself and greet the light once more. To honor the coming of spring, and keep alive this old promise of renewal — hoping that a little sweetness might soften the bitterness of these days.

Happy Nowruz. 🌱
