Happy Birthday, my sweet Mooma - you would have been 81 today. But the 80 years you had on this earth were filled with love, laughter, and purpose. There’s not a day that I don’t think about you a hundred times and wish I could hug you and tell you how much I love you. I know you’re still here with me, even if I can’t see you or hear your voice. I was the luckiest to have you as my mom, and I will try to live up to the amazing example you set of how to move through the world with kindness, curiosity, and a great sense of humor. Hope you’re having a dry martini and laughing with friends! 🍸💜
Missing my sweet Mooma today and every day. This first Mother’s Day without her is hard. But how lucky I was to be her daughter. Sending love to all the amazing moms and a huge hug to those of you who are missing yours. I see you and share your grief. 💜💔💜

We open tonight. This show has been a balm for my soul - working with some of my dearest friends and collaborators, making new friends, and reflecting on life and death.
As Emily says:
“Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? - every, every minute?”
Grateful for this moment and this beautiful play.
A reminder to hold your loved ones close and try to be present to the beauty of the everyday.
💜💜💜
Even in the midst of grieving, there is space for joy. So happy to be able to attend the wedding of my first nephew @its_just_josh_la to his beautiful bride Tiffany Hakim. A rare aligning of the planets for most of the Blumenfeld siblings to all be in the same place and a wonderful chance to reconnect with my nephews and niece, who have grown up into amazing humans! 💜

The most important bouquet I will ever make.
Yellow roses were her favorite flowers, purple asters for me, white callas for rebirth.
Fly free, my sweet Mooma. 💛💜🤍
How do you summarize the life of such an amazing woman in a few short paragraphs?
I did my best but it doesn’t come close to capturing her. 💔
Feel free to leave remembrances of her in the online guestbook or, if you’re so inclined, make a donation in her memory to the ASPCA.
