It’s been six months my achilles repair surgery of a complete rupture. I’m exceptionally grateful to my surgeon Dr. Andreo and my incredible PT team at Mondo Sports Therapy, Katie and Justin are the absolute best. I’m running sprints at 90% bodyweight (on an alter-g treadmill), jumping laterally onto and off of a 20″ box,…

If you don’t remember, I am obsessed with my X-Tall Scoria yoga mat, which I’ve…
Y’all, I made a critical wrong choice. I KNOW as myself that I need sunshine and time outside. But when cedar is high and my allergies go insane, I chose to stay inside. Based on the amount of mind I lost on Tuesday night, that was the WRONG MOVE. I had worked a couple long…
Last year was incredible. It just might have been the most I’ve ever lived up to my word: Grace. I went through some shit, sure, and ended the year on a decidedly un-graceful note with an achilles rupture and subsequent surgery, but taken on the whole, I did a good job of giving myself grace,…
Books I have read since 12/26/21: Transcendent Kingdom – great exploration between science and religion; recommend it although I did not it as much as I loved her first novel Homegoing People We Meet on Vacation – a bit predictable but entertaining nonetheless First Comes Love – ditto but also interesting that both this and…

Read on for things I’ve been saving to share with you. A great crowdsourced doc on WTF is Web3? Then, a great commentary on…

And dailyhap and lyssart and lyssamyskaallen.com except not bc we’re still in WSOD purgatory and writing this FGF gratitude list on my phone.GAME ON with capture the flag except…
Y’all I don’t wanna be a bratty blogger but I have BEEN THROUGH IT this past month with this blog (and my other sites). I’ve worked through a host (pun intended) of issues, gotten hacked a bunch of times, and—fingers and toes crossed, wood knocked upon—finally have the site cleaned. Here’s hoping we’re back to…
Friendsgiving and familygiving. Happy turkeys and fancy wines. Nali snuggles and baby nephew snuggles. Starbucks family Thanksgiving and a failed yoga class done at home. A humid, rainy night out and cold days. There’s a ton to be grateful for right now! My family is trying to treat this Thanksgiving in Austin like a bit…
As I sit down to think about what I want from the coming birthday year, I’m struck by how happy I am right now. How much growth I’ve been through personally in the past year-and-a-half and how much I’ve owned who I am and who I want to be. One of the ways I’ve been…
