Entertainment My INCREDIBLE friend Tim launched a new podcast called The Unexpected Journey that is sensational. Listen now. Need to see Mare of Easttown. Love Kate Winslet, love Delco (thanks Zieg), can’t wait to watch. Virtual…

Gratitude List on Any Day | Feel Good Friday 052821
Happy Birthday, Childhood Bestie! You’re an incredible leader, friend, and kitten mama! Regymen Grove opened! 45-minute summer HIIT workouts here I come … love it and hate it but mostly hate it. Girls catch up Monday night with a sister stop by! Wednesday open play volleyball and Oakmont Honeymoon Spirit Lounge with a friend of…
My Personal Holiday: Today is National Wine Day
After all, it’s possible I singlehandedly keep some wineries in business … Last year, I ran down some wine recommendations in this post for stocking up across the nation. Today, we focus on Austin and natural wine. What is natural wine? Low intervention, often but not always organic and/or biodynamically farmed, often but not always…
Backyard Gratitude List | Feel Good Friday 052121
It’s a rainy, lovely Saturday morning. I have things to do, but I have the luxury of moving slowly, unhurried. It’s great. Grateful for: Hammock. I love a hammock. Anywhere. But in my backyard?! Heaven. Also Heaven? My parents’ porch. I love that place. I especially love it with my extended family, the Teti fam…
Am I Going to Facebook Jail? | Checklist 57
I dipped a toe in the counter-opinion post waters of facebook, and did not get sent to facebook jail (yet). Why did I feel so compelled to speak out? Censorship. I’ve heard the complaints that big tech (social media) is controlling the narrative, but I didn’t want to believe it—until my nurse practitioner aka medical…
… or How My Body Told Me to Slow TF Down | Feel Good Friday 051421
This is a story of allergies. Just kidding, except it is … despite being a native, every spring in Austin the allergies KICK MY ASS. I take my daily allergy meds, use my sinus rinse, take all the dirty hippie immune boosters, drink echinacea tea … and still! I had to take a whole damn…
Pura Vida | Feel Good Friday 050721
Before you go to Costa Rica, you might be a bit cynical like me, thinking pura vida is a marketing slogan or a thing tourists pick up. But it’s not. Somehow those two words actually, adequately represent the embodiment of a country’s ethos. You can use it for hello, goodbye, ok, thank you, you’re welcome,…
[Last Week] Loved | Feel Good Friday 043021
[author’s note: I am posting this unedited; written 4/23/21 // and then I never finished it because I flew to Costa Rica and tried to go off the grid as much as possible. But it’s so … happy! So I’m publishing it before publishing this week’s FGF.] I am starting this list on a feel…
Dammit I Have to Be Feminist Today | Checklist 56
Or, equalist. But either way, what the actual eff is going on with these stories? There are so many women with so many un-funded entrepreneurial ideas (2.8% of VC funding goes to women). AND YET: A pink tampon removal glove got 30,000 euros. These women-in-tech stories are still happening. “Fixing Bias, Not Women”. OMG. Goodbye…
Virtual Life | Feel Good Friday 042321
After a VERY virtual week at a virtual conference that had me in front of a screen 7-7, I could not be more ready for the non-virtual adventure I’m about to embark on in Costa Rica! BUT if you miss me and want in on my virtual life, check out this (business) podcast I was…
