I stopped waiting for the mother I needed… and started choosing my peace. That choice didn’t change everything overnight. But it changed me — and that’s what opened the door to a new chapter with my mom. If you’ve been carrying a relationship that still hurts, I hope this reminds you: forgiveness isn’t approval. It’s freedom. Tomorrow (Sat) • 2 PM Barnes & Noble • Boca Raton (Glades Rd) Come hear the real story behind Bullied to Besties. #BulliedToBestiesMemoir #Forgiveness #MotherDaughter #Heal

Mom rolled into Costco like she owned the runway. Leopard from head to toe—shoes, pants, top, and even the raincoat. A true fashionista through and through. She starts out pushing her wagon, which also doubles as her walker, and once inside, she upgrades to her motorized shopping cart and keeps right on turning heads. Style, spirit, and a whole lot of attitude at 102. to learn her tips on life, longevity, and fashion read her book Mildred’s mindset. It’s available on Amazon. #MildredsMindsetBook

To all the women out there: never underestimate your power. We carry, we endure, we rise, we rebuild, and we keep going even when life asks everything of us. Today is a reminder to stand tall in who you are, own your voice, trust your strength, and never shrink to make anyone else comfortable. There is nothing more powerful than a woman who knows her worth. #InternationalWomensDay #WomensDay #WomenSupportingWomen #StrongWomen #EmpoweredWomen

Who knew? At 102, Mom discovered the little pocket at the back of her wheelchair—perfect for her water bottle. 💧✨ For me, every time I toss that chair in the trunk, it means one thing: have wheels, will explore. I’m so grateful she still has the spark to go places, to experience new things, and to share adventures with me. We’ve both always been big travelers. These days we’re keeping it closer to home, but even a visit to the Palm Beach Historical Society Museum (inside the old courthouse) fee

To everyone entering this new year carrying something heavy… we see you. And to everyone entering it with joy… may it expand. From Mom and me: thank you for showing up for us—again and again. You’ve turned this corner of the internet into something that feels like home. May 2026 meet you gently. May it bring you strength when you need it, softness when you don’t know how to ask, and small reminders that your life still holds possibility. Happy New Year. We love you

What an afternoon. 💛 Barnes & Noble Delray Beach—thank you for the warmth, the thoughtful questions, and the meaningful conversation around my memoir. And then… a surprise I truly didn’t expect: Arno Michaelis (@arnomichaelis) walked in. Years ago we first connected when my film with my mother premiered in the UK. Arno is a former neo-Nazi who has devoted his life to peace activism and education—and now we’re both featured on The Forgiveness Project. What stopped me in my tracks was seeing the

Back with my 102-year-old mom again, and my heart feels softer already. 💕 Yesterday started the way I love most: the two of us at a little local café, sharing breakfast and stories. Then she went off to play cards with her friends (of course 😊) while I headed to the library to work. With the sun setting so early now, I snuck out for a walk around the water before it got dark. The sky put on a show, and for a few quiet moments the noise of the world — all the tension and division — faded into t

Yesterday was a very full day with Mom. We left the house after 10 AM and didn’t get home until close to 8:30 PM. We started with Shabbat services, listening to our wonderful rabbi and a guest rabbi, then stayed for kiddush and a delicious meal with friends. We always leave shul with more wisdom, great stories, community… and very full hearts and stomachs. 💛 Then it was off to the Boca Raton Museum of Art. Have wheels, will travel!

When you “hug a stranger,” you never know what you’re really doing. Sometimes it’s just a moment of warmth. And sometimes… it’s a lifeline. I met Jess at my Barnes & Noble meet & greet in Orlando. She paused at my memoir BULLIED TO BESTIES, and I read her the prologue—the part that instantly tells you what kind of childhood I survived (without giving anything away here). Jess and I started talking, and she trusted me with pieces of her story—things no one should have to carry, especially as a ch

On the road to Miami 🚗💚 Mom and I are headed to Miami Beach for today’s Lunch & Learn at the JCC (12:30 PM)—and we truly love these moments: getting to share our story, connect face-to-face, and talk about what forgiveness really is. So many stories right now are about estrangement. Ours is about reconciliation—and the “secrets” that helped me find forgiveness (not to excuse the past, but to free myself from it). And somehow, along the way, Mom and I found a connection we never imagined. We’ll

They did cultures and checked for everything—and thank God she’s negative for flu, COVID, and pneumonia. Because of her age, we’re not taking chances, so she’s starting a Z-Pak as a precaution and we’re keeping a close eye… but all is good. Feeling very thankful. 🙏✨ #MildredsMindset #BulliedToBesti
