Covid Convo: Fear, Sensationalization, and Numbers | Week 17
I am frustrated. I am tired of being quiet. I am learning and by no means have all the answers, but the way this “pandemic” has been handled seems devoid of reason, so I am amending my weekly Covid Comms posts to include some conversation (with myself, unless y’all jump in the comments). I am…
COVID Checklist Week 17
Hard to believe it’s been four months of this. Workouts I WAS BORN TOO LATE!! Women’s flag football to become a collegiate sport … so far only 15 schools have signed on, but more are in the works. BFree’s Digital Studio is up and running, and I took my first class with the lovely Shelby…
Seeking Sunshine
I am suddenly having a yellow moment: I want everything I own to be yellow. Check out the citron I’m currently coveting (during covid*). Shop the items here. RIP to Hill City, aka men’s Athleta, which launched right before the pandemic so bad timing. 🙁 The entire site is 30% off, including the hoodie pictured…
Happy Rant | Feel Good Friday 070320
I am on my way to embrace the desert and all she has to offer, with her dark nights and starry skies and bubbly Rio Grande AND 100 DEGREE TEMPS but I digress, I’m celebrating the land of liberty in the land of, well, liberty. And desolation. And heat. But before that! We celebrate this…
COVID Checklist Week 16
Y’all this is wild. Texas was open, now it’s closing again … I have tried to read as much as I can, do what I think is right, and continue to be more or less isolated in my house. But I just can’t hold it in any longer: this is complete fear mongering or safety…
But Saturday | Feel Good Friday 062620
Yesterday, Friday, of the Feel Good variety, was a whirlwind! A super exciting, Lyss is confident and happy and on her game again, whirlwind. The whole week was busy, starting with fun family time last weekend up through a trip to the family homestead in small-town Texas and a visit to San Antonio. I’m super…
COVID Checklist Week 15
Here’s what’s keeping me covidtained… Workouts Peloton cardio & strength workouts are tiding me over while I figure out what’s next … … and I am using Costco-sized olive and avocado oil for my “medium” weights in Keaira Lashae’s Trap n Tone dance + arms class, which I am *embarrassed* to say had me sore…
Is It Comfy?| Feel Good Friday 061920
Happy Juneteenth. Here’s my text summary: It’s the “ending” day of slavery in the US … after the Civil War and Emancipation Proclamation, Texas ? still didn’t free slaves until June 19 a couple years later so that’s when it’s celebrated. More and more companies are recognizing the day as a way to celebrate Black…
Covid Week 14 Update: Mask
During this weird Covid time, I’m more of a bandana mask wearer than a mask-mask wearer. But I just received this email and had to share—and buy a mask (they have one with stars on it, after all). Covid + prison reform all in one I’m a longtime supporter of Defy Ventures and believe deeply…
