Last year—and I had to look this up, what word I chose last year—the word I chose was L O V E. And yes, I had fallen in love, with both of my boys, but looking back I am struck by how much LOVE I received, gave, and was surrounded by in 2023. I mean!!…
Feel Good Friday 020224
We’re back, kids! Nothing but gratitude on this FEEL GOOD FRIDAY, where I only worked 3 days that felt like 37 and gained roughly 12.7 lbs drinking my weight in piña coladas at an all-inclusive resort BUT I am feeling so lucky to have my love and my BIRD GANG and I got to read…
Feel Good January
One of the most frustrating things to me as a human is when a friend, colleague, vendor, whoever continues to push me off because they know they missed the mark and they don’t want to have the hard conversation. AND YET THIS IS ME, RIGHT NOW, with y’all and with myself on this blog. I…
Virgie on the Rocks | Feel Good Friday 122223
Impossibly, I am now the (part) owner of a lil miner’s cabin in Idaho Springs, Colorado. I *could not* be happier. It is perfect. It is epic. I love it. I want to hug the cabin itself (and almost could). I want to hug the view, but simultaneously fling my arms wide because I couldn’t…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD!! To the man who surprises me with lattes that weren’t actually meant for me and rushes home to make me one that is for me: you are the best and I am so lucky you are my dada. Since tomorrow is Thanksgiving, we’re going to mix it up and do a quick…
this list is for me: five things to buy myself on black friday or cyber monday on the internet
All the “Black Friday” sales are starting now. I love it, let me online shop at my leisure. But it’s also kinda dumb – now just another excuse for a sale, and we’re not seeing the crazy-steep discounts we have on previous Black Fridays. Of course, on the actual Friday, or Cyber Monday, we still…
The Boys Are Back | Feel Good Friday 111023
