Jet lag.

Last Sunday, a full day of travel behind me.

Straight into preparing the house for Passover —

cooking, organizing, hosting 40 beautiful souls over the past few days.

At times, it almost feels like my real work is running a small home hotel & restaurant —

adding chairs and tables is a blessing.

In the mix, so important to recharge, preserve myself, and know when to set boundaries… I’m still learning.

Beautiful people.

Getting out of Egypt, letting go —

while, in parallel, so many courageous people on the world stage.

At the Miami level, the tragic loss of two young women in leadership and community service — Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer in Coral Springs, and Jessenia Francisco at the Coral Gables Woman’s Club in Coral Gables.

Pilots rescued — thank goodness.

Parenting, Catching up on friends and work, — even on a Sunday.

Walking when I could — thank you Ruby 🤍

Earlier this week, a letter found its way to our home from Kensington Palace,

a reply to our family wishes.

Thank you to Their Royal Highnesses — I was truly moved to receive it.

A reminder: time is not linear.

Let’s meet it while being and becoming our true selves — always learning.

With love and light,

Jessica — aka Hopeje 🤍
