Boss man in the lobby of @50bowery, the hotel in NYC he built from the ground up. Here is evidence that years of patience, persistence, blood, toil, tears, sweat, maybe a couple ulcers and numerous grey hairs can lead to the realization of a dream. He is my inspiration. So proud of my amazing brother @dhonuts 😍 . . . . . #Chinatown #nyc #hotel #dream #dreams #brotherandsister #proud
I wonder if more women were in office, would traveling, working moms need to pump in airport bathrooms? #momlife . . . #motherhood #momsofinstagram #workingmom #nursingmom #nectarofthegods #mom #thethingswedo #thisisgross #jfk #airport

I don't know why this little squirrel touched my heart so deeply this morning. I found him shaking on sidewalk outside a coffee shop where I was headed to do some work. His legs were splayed behind him and he did not move even when people approached. I watched him try to walk, then worried he'd be hit by a car. Some kind souls helped me put him in a box where he curled up while I worked. I just brought him to the wildlife rescue center in San Jose. I've never done this before. I thought of all the suffering people I often walk past on the street. I try to help when I can, but too often I feel like I can't do enough. Would I stop my day to help a person the way I felt moved to help this squirrel? Why did I feel the need to help this little animal today and how might I extend this same compassion to people? Maybe I felt like I needed to do something bc there seemed like a clear way to help. In this turbulent world the problems often seem so big and daunting, so complex and overwhelming. Maybe it felt good to be able to do one small thing and make a little difference...even if it was for a squirrel. Hope he's okay. #deepthoughts from my morning #wildlife #wcsv
All he wanted to do was go down the enormous slide at #SF Civic Center. So, while people gave speeches, we joined a playground full of running, climbing, sliding, swinging, laughing kids and played. Standing in the middle of this playground, surrounded by thousands of marchers holding signs and cheering for speakers, was a powerful reminder to me of the reasons we marched today. At the end of the day, kids just want to be kids. They want to play and laugh and learn and love. We have to make the world safe for them. #marchforourlives #march #enough #neveragain #play
And just like that, our fearless, goofy little Choogie-choogs turns one. This year flew by! I feel so grateful we were blessed with this beautiful soul. I can't imagine our family without her. #birthdaygirl #oneyearold #xiaofanqie
