People are amazing. My best friend surprised me last week, driving in from out of town with the fixins for venison chili, a bottle of special pinot, and (what I thought was) the coup de grâce: a hilarious box of letters and pictures from our childhood through college, complete with countless mentions of boys we…
Whew how ’bout that vulnerability yesterday, huh? Yikes. Positive feedback though, and I’m glad I posted it, even if it elevated my anxiety level. Lattes à la dada … literally this is the greatest thing to come out of my achilles tear surgery. My father delivers a delicious raw milk latte to me every. single.…
There were many ways I saw this year ending: me having broken in my badass new skis over Christmas in Park City, me booking a last-minute tip to Tahoe or Mammoth to capitalize on the insane 10-foot dumps of snow northern Cal has received, me taking a silly Taos-Santa Fe trip on a semi-PJ, even…
This week has been… miserable. But there is too so much to be grateful for ❤️ peep the story show and let’s talk about how we feel about the format… love? Hate? Occasionally ok?
My achilles. I’ve been staving off this particular injury since Dr. Bill wouldn’t let me play turf football five years ago in Newport, but when I met my awesome group of pickup football guys here, I just couldn’t help myself.

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. It has been a minute. This here blog has been up for close to 14 years, since 12/27/07. It has never been down for more than hour, and yet we have just gone through over two weeks of an outage that I couldn’t prioritize finding the time to fix. And we were just starting…
Before we dig in, my very first in-person art show starts tomorrow!! Click here for some of the work, and more details on the studio tour/art crawl. Not even apologizing anymore for my erratic gratitude post schedule. I am so grateful for who I am. For who I’ve chosen to have in my life. For…
Nashville is an awesome town, and the group of girls I stormed it with even better. Nashville as a trip was completely unexpected—when someone asks if I want to go somewhere I’ve never been with people I mostly don’t know but it’s pretty cheap and already planned, I will always say yes. So I had…
Yesterday I was in LA. Tomorrow I’ll be in Nashville. It’s wild out here, kids, but let’s reflect on how grateful I am for this full life. Last weekend is the story of a friendship close enough that all it takes is a one-word text message. Party? Party And so we did, Saturday night after…
