“May you look at your life, and see the beauty God placed there. Like little love notes, He’s continually deposited pockets of grace, urging you to keep going. Please, do not give up. Don’t turn back. The road might be long, but it is glorious in the end.” ~ @christianbosse_ // #TuesdayTimeout 😉💕

You never knew us, Kobe, but we knew you. We knew you because when you were out there on the court, you left nothing to our imaginations. When you played, you played with 110% of your being. Win or lose, every step taken, every shot attempted, every defensive possession was intentional. That’s how you played the game and how you lived your life - INTENTIONALLY. // You probably never knew the hours we spent watching and listening to and reading about you - Laker games, All-Star games, the Olympics, documentaries, pre-game/post-game pressers, YouTube after YouTube video of your highlight reel, all the radio interviews and every article written - we craved your confidence and wisdom, and we envied your drive. // You may never have truly fathomed the impact you impressed upon this world, but each of us knows exactly where we were when you won each of your Championships, when those gold medals were placed over your head, when you scored 81, when you tore your Achilles, when your playing career was punctuated by 60 points, when your jerseys were retired. You captured our attention, spoke to our spirit, and offered your champion of a heart to an entire city...hell, an entire universe. How, Kobe Bryant, could we not know you? // If prayers are all we can offer the Bryant family, so be it 🙏🏼💛💜 #RIPKobe #RIPGigi #MambaForever #KobeBryant #LongLiveMamba #Legend

Happy Lunar New Year! It’s technically the last holiday of the holidays, so it won’t be weird to post this 😬 // Thanks so much to all the fams who asked me to help them send Christmas greetings to their loved ones! I’ve been taking family photos for a few years now, and seeing all of your happy faces on these cards, and remembering the fun we had taking them, just never gets old! The heart, in fact, swells more and more each year! See you again this fall? 😉 #Itsstillchristmasinmyheart

#flashbackfriday to exactly four years ago today when Norma and my cousin, Joey took me on a sunrise hike for their engagement session. I told them that I had no experience hiking whatsoever. “Don’t worry, Ate, you’ll be fine,” he said. “It’s not that bad.” 🤨 It could’ve been worse, and I only tripped and fell like once 🙌🏼 My grand prize was a grand view, time spent in the company of these two lovely souls and surprising myself at the top of that mountain 💛 Of course it was worth it, like all challenging things are 💕 #HappyFriday everyone! #sunrisehike #alisosummittrail

“Choose people who choose you.” // Last spring, Thithoa asked Sean, Lanh, Joe, David, Janella, Linh and me to serve at Caritas 57 (what a chance to take on us 😉), and we spent a whole weekend helping in whichever way we could. Despite four days together, there was little opportunity to get to know each other, but we somehow came out of it so bonded, with a subsequent text thread acting as our lifeline when we’re apart. We took the top middle photo just two days ago after Caritas 59, and it’s surrounded by photos taken last June when we first met. In between those seven months were two reunions, countless inside jokes, thousands of texts, a faith shared, a joy created and a uniquely nurtured friendship chosen not just by the eight of us, but by the One who truly did the choosing 🙏🏼 What a grace each of you is! LoooOooove you all so so much! #eteam57 #eteamnosleep #waythankfulwednesday

“Sorrow looks back. Worry looks around. Faith looks up.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson // The sky has so many personalities, and we’ve probably never looked at the same sky twice. Just the thought of this gives me all the feels, chills and all the gratitude for it. What a universe to be part of! #wisdomwednesday #lookup #sky
