I’ve written a lot about learning or remembering to accept unconditional love, ahem, unconditionally. (Here are a few stories from dailyhap: Smelly Travel Can Open Up a Heart, How I Got Back to Being Me Through Friendship, and A Cab to the Airport) But this past weekend and week was a welcome reminder of just…
Just before my last-minute ski trip last weekend, I read this article about how Athleta’s CMO travels with only a shoulder bag. Um, yes. So inspired, for my Friday night-Monday morning trip I packed only my ski bag and a shoulder bag. The shoulder bag*, similar to this Sak shopper (just a different pattern), held:…
The chain of events leading me to going to Breckenridge RIGHT NOW is a convoluted one at best. It involves an amazing crashing of circumstances that include but are not limited to an office desk eviction, a different planned last minute ski trip, airline miles that aren’t mine, an air mattress packed in my ski…
Y’all, Austin is still Austin. Thank god. This has been my longest return home since I lived in Austin full-time, and I’m startled, relieved, thrilled to find out that fundamentally Austin is still Austin. I thought I didn’t know it, but I do. I know the people, the friendly waves, the gravelly sands of Town…
Director, IT Product Management That’s me, now. My third role with Alorica. I’m really excited about it—we’re building an all-new department!, but I didn’t really even know what the role was when I accepted it. Luckily, it turns out that’s apparently part of the job … What Exactly Is a Product Manager? Building off that…

Then again, I embarked on a number of different journeys, each of which cleared up some things for me—earning my (E)MBA through Smartly (I still don’t know when/if you’re supposed to put the E there?), making career…
What a year! More to come on that but suffice it to say that I, like many others if instagram is to be believed, say good riddance to 2017. This week, though, has been wonderful—family time on family time on family time, with a hilarious road trip, remote working, “cheese” shopping, and getting to meet…
Over at dailyhap.com, I posted some fresh ruminations on love and loss … “That sense of loss is exactly what we must anticipate, prepare for, and cherish to the last of our days; for it is only our heartbreak that finally refutes all that is ephemeral in love.” – A Gentleman in Moscow, Amor Towles…
Nali, Mom, and I are road trippin’ right now (presumably). We’re making the 20-hour+ trek so that I can bring my nervous lil pup back to Texas for two weeks! (follow along on insta stories for the hilarity…) Leaving behind my home even for a couple weeks, here are the things I’ll most miss: Sundays!…
Nails it: “… sexual harassment may entail behaviors that on their own would be criminal — assault or rape — but the legal definition of its harm is about the systemic disadvantaging of a gender in the public and professional sphere”. This Moment Isn’t Just About Sex. I mean: What makes women vulnerable is not…
