Happy Diwali! ✨🪔✨

”For Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and Buddhists, lighting the lamp—the diya—is a chance to remember, even in the midst of darkness, that light will ultimately prevail. Knowledge will defeat ignorance, and compassion will triumph over despair. Diwali is also a reminder that we must each do our part to achieve that victory, by dedicating ourselves to service to others. If we affirm our commitments to one another and strive to lift each other up, then together, we will continue moving closer to that brighter future we all seek.

America is a great and diverse nation, strengthened by the contributions of all our people. I was proud to host the first Diwali celebration at the White House back in 2009. Since then, we’ve continued to mark this holiday to honor the rich traditions that define the American family. And I know Michelle and I will never forget the wonderful time we had celebrating Diwali in Mumbai with food, dancing, and the company of friends.

So, to all the families gathering together this Diwali to reflect on all the blessings of the past year, I wish you a joyous celebration and Saal Mubarak.”

-President Obama, 2014

Rose petals and huge slices of fresh ginger have me thinking WHO DO I THINK I AM?!?? It’s the most extra way to chai. I love my DIY rose chai kit. 🥀🥂

I masked up and went to to get some flowers and mini 🍩 for my daughter. The Market is eerily, sadly, but also beautifully empty in . Support Hmong farmers and bring some cheer to friends and family. You get a free mango sticker if you use code FLOWERS in my , on the honor system. (And, really, it’s $3 off any order.)
