This year has taught me that a good year can also be a hard year. I have held joy and pain in equal measure. The joy hasn't made it less painful & the pain hasn't made it less joyful. It’s the year I learnt what it means to hold all things in a delicate balance.
As 2025 comes to a close, I'm continuing a tradition that I started during my time in the White House: sharing my annual lists of favorite books, movies, and music. I hope you find something new to enjoy—and please send any recommendations for me to check out!
Oh July ✨
The past 2 Julys were very difficult for me. This year’s though, a HIT!
Thank God for His faithfulness &
🥂 to new beginnings.
Definitely ending July 2025 with a big smile & a grateful heart😁 💌
I came back home to a bouquet 💐 from Nandi 🥹😍 She went out with her Aunt yesterday & she asked to get me Flowers 🥹🤩
So it’s a paper flower bouquet & when giving me said “but you can’t smell them because they are not real Mommy” 🙌🏽
Israel is continuing to restrict aid access - a crime and a grave violation against children.
The UK government must put much more political pressure on Israel and hold them accountable for the continued denial of humanitarian aid.
Israel, as the occupying power, has an additional obligation to ensure the humanitarian needs of the occupied population are met.
