Starting my Mother’s Day w/ my favorite caffeine, some to-dos to ease my mental load & some reading. Grateful for family, friends & that includes an amazing online community who supported my health to get to this Mother’s Day. Thank you. 💕🎀

I don’t usually cut it this close… but I made it. Voter #528 at 6:58 p.m. I was encouraged to take as long as I needed and there was no pressure to hurry. I hope my fellow Burqueños voted as well.

This has been a full, exhausting week. I came home the other day to the most beautiful surprise. Makes me smile every time I walk in the room. Thank you so much @mamajenninabq1!

Update: I am incredibly grateful for the care & support I’ve received the last several weeks. While there are still health challenges & frustrations, so excited to share we found out this week my plan of care does not include chemo or radiation. 🩷

I wanted to share how grateful we are for the incredible support these last few weeks. If we haven’t returned a DM, phone call, or text, please know how much we appreciate you all. A bit overwhelmed right now. ❤️

Ugh. Hoping the damage is minimal & no injuries getting this fire contained on this windy Tuesday. #ABQ #NMwx

A thoughtful colleague gave me the sweetest start to the weekend.

We get really excited about rain in NM. #NMwx #ABQ

Yes, I’m old school, photojournalist who learned on film, and love giving my eyes a break from a screen. I noticed the paper from across the room. Beautiful. Great job, @ABQJournal. There’s no way to have this kind of impact digitally. Period.

When I grow up, I want to be as confident as my 5-year-old was this morning filling out her bracket. #MarchMadness2025

Hello, Reno.

Dear @XfinitySupport, maybe when I reach out to your chat support, maybe help me with the actual problem instead of trying to sell me mobile phone service?🤬

Flurries on campus this afternoon. #NMWx

My @loopearplugs absolutely saved me at a little one’s @UrbanAirPark birthday party today. Crowded, loud and no one enforcing rules, but I survived. #GratefulMom

Stopping for a few minutes to get my second wind to drive home to #Abq. Nice view. Was a beautiful sunset while I pumped gas. Doesn’t give any hint to how painfully cold it is outside. #Socorro #NMwx

A beautiful night for some flamenco with mija and @NIFNM.

Let’s go @JonnyBones! #UFC309

My baby brother @ElijahN_22 always finding new ways to make me feel old, even in the family chat. 😂
