Behind the photos: El Amanecer (The Sunrise)

Every time I visit Mexico I discover something new, or am able to see it in a new way. I have fallen in love with this country, and get excited every time I have the opportunity to come here, because no matter how many times I do, I am able to experience in a way I never did the last time I visited.

I had never gotten up to watch the sunrise, and though I am not a morning person, I have to say, it is something worth doing more than once during a visit here, especially if you are on the beach.

There’s a serenity that takes over as you watch the sun creep over the rising tides, a peaceful sense that convinces you that you will are guaranteed to have a great day. Being Playa del Carmen, you might find a straggler or two trying to recover from all the fun had the night before, fishermen scoping out a good area to toss their nets, and hotel employees preparing the area for guests to lounge in later in the day.

Regardless of the activity around me, I was able to take a deep breath as my heart fluttered in delight over the beautiful world in front of me. I so do love Mexico…every place I have visited here makes it more and more so. And this morning of photography helped to capture only one of the reasons why.

A necessary couple of days to reset and just breat A necessary couple of days to reset and just breathe. It’s wild that we are already on the final months of 2026. 

The world feels like it’s on fire and humanity is being tested in greater ways than so many of us can even begin to process. Society and our communities demand more from us than a lot of us have ever been called to give. But we must. And it can be exhausting and scary. But we must. 

I hope everyone goes out and votes. Protesting by NOT voting really helped to get us here. Tried and tested. So, no thanks. That was a shit plan. Now we must do more. Voting is not the overall solution. Those of us who continuously experience discrimination, misogyny, and violence towards our people know this. But it gives us a better footing to continue the fight ahead. 

There’s never “nothing” you can do, but doing nothing is never the answer. 

See you out there.
29 years ago my first boy was born. He changed my 29 years ago my first boy was born. He changed my life completely and inspired me to work hard everyday to be the best version of myself. Today, on his birthday, I invite you to go down memory lane with me. From birth to his first birthday. 

I love being your mother, @davidcaiinn. You make us  proud and your dad and I love witnessing your journey. 

You are loved more than we could ever express in our lifetimes. Happy birthday. 🎂
Started the day with a little roadtrip with Josie Started the day with a little roadtrip with Josie where she got the very rare pleasure to sit upfront (yes, she was harnessed to seatbelt) on her way to her very first doggie day care visit where she quickly made friends and happily played her heart out. But of course, it’s never enough so we got to play a bit more while the sun set. 

She is the sheddiest, most cuddly, sweetest doggie, and we love her so much. It’s only been 21/2 months, but it feels like she’s been here, with us, forever. 💕
Love is…a comfy fall cozy with Josie. 🐾💕 Love is…a comfy fall cozy with Josie. 🐾💕

Spending the next couple of days on assignment in Spending the next couple of days on assignment in Rochester, which always feels like such a special treat - to be able to work in a city I love being in so much. Excited for all the good coffee and favorite eateries I will try to fit in as much as possible while here. Such a great city.
