Love these snaps. So relatable. My daughter was on her way home after work and face timed us from her neighborhood in Harlem and the joy and love were loud and palpable to us 3000 miles away. So good. So WE! ❤️

Oh I love that! And yeah, I watched some of those kinds of videos more than once.

Cheer for the Nicks for the same reason.

Love this moment of we! ♥️

I'm just getting to this one, and it's wonderful as always. You articulated exactly what I felt about the Knicks. I'm not a longtime fan or even particularly an NBA fan at all, but I'm an absolute fan of collective happiness. My daughter was in town that weekend and sent a pic of all the fans on top of subway cars and buses, sharing beers and high fives and absolute JOY. To be part of it, even from afar, was what I (and all of us) needed.

I know, me too. I’m definitely feeling it again with the World Cup.

Wonderful (as always!).

Wonderful! "how good it feels to be us" is an exquisite feeling. Such unabashed joy transcends just about everything else.

Ha, I totally could have done it if I could get the thing in the thing!

it's a meditative practice. you can't rush into it. take a few breaths. focus. breath. settle your feet and legs, breath, then....1-2-3.

A ‘kind of orphan’ (snap!) rounding the corner and colliding into connection - loved that surprising encounter, Deirdre.

Thanks Wendy, I love when something surprising that ends in laughter.

Brief orgasmic bliss…

gym collision… rooting Knicks.
