This week has been BUSY. Birthdays to celebrate, friendships to enjoy, a fancy Kenyan + South African wine dinner to look forward to tonight. Full, happy, but busy. I am grateful for: >>> Written while streaming Post Malone’s new album F-1 Trillion which I am wholeheartedly obsessed with. I love him, I love the collabs,…

the bits of summer garden we have growing: tiny cukes and tiny tomatoes and big, fat abundant figs! my helpful handsome humanitarian warrior husband made a delicious dinner under 100 degree temps – almost nice on our morning walks – and a bit of rain bob is naughty but i’m grateful for his training and…
Two Week Sandwich | Feel Good Friday 071524
If I could outline the last two weeks of my life, it’d basically be a sandwich of INCREDIBLY INTENSE WORK DAYS and SUPER FUN WEEKENDS before an incredibly intense workday crashed into a super fun weekend and I was on a conference call at 9am on a Saturday getting made fun of for a voice…
Bad Patient | Feel Good Friday 062824
My handsome helpful humanitarian warrior had surgery earlier this week, and he is a bad patient. He is bad at resting, bad at chilling, very bad at doing nothing. Very bad, 0/10, does not respect couch arrest. And he’s still in a lot of pain, and I think it’s because his lack of rest is…
Best Laid Plans | Feel Good Friday 062124

Three Amazing Things that I Did This Week | Feel Good Friday 061424

I have seen some amazing music in the last couple of years, but this setting was sublime: camping chairs, under oak trees, against a vineyard, sipping rosé (not…
Cough | Feel Good Monday 061024
Can I be grateful for a cough? A person certainly could, but can I? Me, Lyssa? Maybe. I had this terrible cough for a full 10 days. I hit the infrared sauna, got cupped, spent time outside in the sun for my vitamin D, mucinex-ed, even started a course of ivermectin (the “FLiRT” variant of…
