Wanted to capture a few final physical moments fro Wanted to capture a few final physical moments from the house. Mom and Dad did this when they laid the foundation for the house on 5/7, fifteen years ago. While not planned on our part (but clearly part of the cosmic plan), today is 5/7 and we said goodbye. 😇✨😇
Dad and I loved sharing a sunrise together. Most m Dad and I loved sharing a sunrise together. Most mornings I wake up to the sunrise and think of him. But this morning, as we say goodbye to the house he and Mom called home for the last 15 years. The home where Mom chose every detail with her signature style and sophistication. The home that served as a sacred sanctuary for that six week period my sisters and I spent with them during their passing almost a year ago, I admittedly feel a bit unmoored not sure what Tulsa as my hometown means. But as I awoke this morning, in a cozy hotel in downtown Tulsa, watching the sunrise over the downtown skyline they were both so proud of, I guess they are once again reminding us of their presence and that even in the midst of a new beginning to keep shining bright, so so bright. ✨🌅💛

I’ll take any day to celebrate two of my favorit I’ll take any day to celebrate two of my favorite human beings on this earth. But this year, on this #nationalsiblingday, I’m grateful beyond words for my sisters, particularly this year as we navigate our new family unit with a deeper sense of closeness, love, and support.🤍🤍🤍
“And the Day Came When the Risk to Remain Tight “And the Day Came When the Risk to Remain Tight In a Bud Was More Painful Than the Risk It Took to Blossom.” – Anais Nin 🤍 This was Mom's favorite tree. Every year she would look forward to its blossoming, sharing updates along the way, and finally would send me a picture of its full bloom. I've been anticipating this bloom for a few weeks with a mix of dread and delight. The fact that it always falls around Passover, Mom and Dad's favorite holiday (there was nothing better than a sedar at Karen and Barry’s), makes it all the more difficult. 🤍 It is the marking of another season without their physical presence and me discovering who I am without them cheering me on and reminding me that everything is going to be ok. But like this tree, and all the storms its weathered, the energy it took these buds to bloom, I can witness my own blossoming. I have to believe they can too. ✨🤍✨

💕8 years💕I don’t have a lot of words, prob 💕8 years💕I don’t have a lot of words, probably for the first time in my life. But as I sit here on a cozy day in Austin, in my favorite love socks and @bomba gripper slippers, with Buck napping on my lap, appreciating my new home. With @hellopebbl, flowers from a friend, a pic of Dad and Obama, and Mom and Hilary in the background. I’m just so grateful for that one moment that stopped me in my tracks 8 years ago that literally awakened a light and love within that I now know is ever present. And to all the moments since, that bring me right here, right now. Every difficult, blissful, unexpected, joyful, complacent, fearful, tearful, surprising, heart wrenching, devastating and delightful moment. Happy Love Day. #cancerversary #8years
Happy 2021. We made it! I know in the past I've be Happy 2021. We made it! I know in the past I've been guilty of the "new year, new you" messaging. And what's not to love, we all want a clean slate, especially after this past year. ✨✨✨ But you know what, not this year. This year I'm not changing a g✨d, d✨mn thing. Because if I got through last year with a deeper sense of love in my heart, a peace in my being, and more profound connection to myself, others and the divine than I ever knew possible, then I'm doing just fine. ✨✨✨ This year, I'm taking my cues from the sun. I'll show up every day, shine my light and welcome whatever the weather of life brings me knowing I have the practice of presence, kindness in my heart, and the gift of connection as my mainstays. Wishing all a new year of sweet, simple, and serene surrender. 💕✨💕 #morningviews #wegotthis
Hello friends. Hope everyone is staying healthy, s Hello friends. Hope everyone is staying healthy, safe and taking good care in these truly unimaginable times.

Along with my sisters, I wanted to thank everyone Along with my sisters, I wanted to thank everyone for their love, support, and condolences over these last 6 weeks. Yep, 6 weeks ago, Mom and Dad were driving and doing their thing. And today, on my 46th birthday, we laid them to rest. The grief and sadness is primal and my heart is broken. But if my parent’s legacy and my 46 years of life have taught me anything, it's that heart broken is just code for a heart broken open, and in this openness lies infinite possibilities, love, and resilience.  I've tried to convince myself that this was all part of some master plan that Mom and Dad's souls agreed to before entering this earthly plane. That maybe they decided this is how they would go - together, with my sisters and I by their side. That maybe they wanted to find a way for my sisters and I to spend more time together in our adult lives and come out closer than ever before. That maybe they wanted us to tap into childhood memories, reconnect with friends and loved ones, and listen to their favorite tunes like Dad's fondness of Barry Manilow and Mom's love of anything Motown. Maybe they chose this time of a global pandemic to remind us that despite physical distance it is possible to feel enveloped in so much love, support and appreciation in the midst of the unimaginable. Maybe they wanted everyone to know that a true love story transcends time. Maybe they gave me the most important birthday gift of all, knowing they are at peace and dancing together again, and that is something to celebrate. And maybe they knew we would all be ok, knowing their legacy and eternal light now shines bright in every heart they touched which will serve as an anchor as we ride the inevitable waves of grief that are sure to come. Thank you for my life Mom and Dad. I'll love you forever. Here is to always shining bright, so so bright. ✨💛💛✨
Oh Dad, you always taught us the importance of a g Oh Dad, you always taught us the importance of a good exit strategy and going out on our own terms. And that is exactly what you did. It seems impossible yet poetic that you and Mom are reunited again after just 10 days apart. I’m not sure who I will be without you physically cheering me on, but I know I’ll be ok, because your legacy of love, integrity, wisdom, leadership, community and family lives in my heart and every ounce of my being. I’ll see you in our sunrises and will love you forever. May 27, 1940-July 25, 2020. 💙✨💕 Long-time community leader and businessman Barry Milton Davis passed away on July 25, 2020 joining his wife of 55 years, Karen Davis, who passed on July 15.

Farewell Mama. Your journey home was sudden yet sw Farewell Mama. Your journey home was sudden yet swift and you managed to charm everyone each step of the way. I can’t imagine a world without you but will love you forever. Rest in grace. August 16, 1945-July 15, 2020💔✨💜 Beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, friend and colleague Karen Levitt Davis passed away on July 15, 2020. Married for 55 years to the love of her life, Barry Davis, Karen was the heart and soul of her immediate and extended family, a faithful and generous friend, and a powerful force in the Tulsa community. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Karen called Tulsa home for more than 50 years, becoming a well-known champion for progressive community causes and initiatives. Through her extensive work with the Tulsa Community Foundation and the George Kaiser Family Foundation, Karen served as a key voice for equality in education, housing, employment, healthcare and social services in Tulsa. Among many community accomplishments, Karen helped establish a program to fund local LGBTQ services; helped create an emergency relief fund for displaced workers; and helped lead the effort to support victims of Hurricane Katrina in Tulsa. Most notably, Karen was a critical driver and visionary behind Step Up Tulsa, a transformational comprehensive community plan. She was also a generous supporter of major community projects including The Gathering Place and John Hope Franklin Reconciliation Park, and proudly served as president of the Junior League of Tulsa. A cherished friend to so many, Karen brought grace, warmth and charm to every gathering. She was widely appreciated and admired not only for her quick wit and caring nature but also her unmatched style. Most importantly, Karen was fiercely committed to her family. She was a matriarch in every way and gave endlessly of herself to provide unconditional love and support. She was an enthusiastic participant in family celebrations, as well as a calming force through challenging times. She could be counted on always to provide warm and wise counsel to her children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. (Continued in comments)
Hello friends. I’ve written and re-written this Hello friends. I’ve written and re-written this post so many times I’ve lost count. 🖤 I started by saying how this was a collective awakening for our country and then realized how rooted in white privilege that comment was and that Black people have been living this collective awakening for over 400 hundred years. 🖤 I wrote that in order to be part of the solution to dismantle systemic oppression, we as white people need to first start by looking within to uncover the oppression, disrespect, and dehumanization in our own lives of which we are consciously or unconsciously playing a part, but then realized that was performative allyship. 🖤 I talked about the importance of daily commitment to staying awake individually and as a collective with as much compassion, integrity, love and respect as possible, but then realized this is spiritual bypassing with no acknowledgment of the brutality and loss of Black bodies every single day. 🖤 I watched a video about the devastating impact of the Tulsa Race Massacre, my hometown (google it). It shook me to my core. I quickly justified in my mind that it was ok, our family hadn’t moved to Tulsa yet. But then I realized, that white supremacist act in my community informed my privileged upbringing, period. 🖤 I scrolled through several white friends + influencer Instagram posts as they talked about how hard last week was for them and how they needed to take a break to process the sadness with no regard to how black people must be feeling. I felt sick to my stomach, because that white fragility and tears were simply reflections of my own. 🖤 But I’m posting this anyway. Because this is white privilege and it is inside all of us. Even the liberal minded, entrepreneurial, impact driven, NAACP supporting, resilience training, meditation teaching, woo-woo exploring, mystical seeking, cancer surviving one of us. What I know is different and will be working on likely for the rest of my life, is viewing my everyday actions through this critical lens of awareness around racial disparity and committed to doing better.

Hello friends. I think we made it through another Hello friends. I think we made it through another week, right? How ya doin? I’ve been having lots of ups and downs myself, but so grateful for my #meditationpractice (and so many teachers) to keep me feeling it all and anchored in love. So in that spirit, I've put together the ultimate meditation resource guide highlighting all the apps and teachers I love and why. Like so many things in life, we can’t do it alone and it is important to seek tools and teachers that can guide us. Many of these teachers have free offerings to guide us in these times, so invite you to explore. I hope you find it useful. Link in profile. I love you.
