So I have something in common with Tracy Ellis Ross.

Yes, the actress and comedian and now singer.

This is my buddy.

You're hiding behind one of the leaves.

My thriving fiddle leaf fig.

Yeah.

Tracy Ellis Ross and I both have fiddle leaf fig plants in our homes.

And we both talk to those plants daily.

What's their name?

She doesn't have a name, but she is.

She has identified herself as female.

The other day she dropped a giant leaf on my head and it did not look like that leaf.

She was ready to drop off.

I think she was just trying to get my attention.

Tracy has been leaning into that friendship with her plant and I have as well with mine.

As we both try to figure out this weird moment of social distancing and isolation.

Tracy told me she's learning a lot of things about herself right now and she's sharing those things on social media.

I can be okay with discomfort like just because and by the way people saying that they have been bored during this pandemic.

I'm like who, where and where do you find that thing called boredom?

Because I don't know about you, but there's floors to mop.

There's always something to do that has to get done.

You got time to lean, you got time to clean.
