I’m the child of two therapists and have a very healthy sense of self-reflection, which you’ve read here on this blog and on dailyhap.com. But the time had come for me to step outside of my comfort zone and own head and seek professional mental health help. Nervous, my first foray was into online, chat-based…

Austin’s Finest
It me. I will soon be honored by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as one of Austin’s Finest at Backyard Ball, an event recognizing outstanding young professionals in my community. In accepting this distinction, I have committed to raise money to help the Foundation realize its mission of controlling and curing cystic fibrosis (CF). I didn’t…
Gettin’ a TATTOO!
My friend opened Lion’s Den Tattoo in San Diego 4 years ago and I was there at his grand opening, so when he announced the opening of a second shop in Pacific Beach, I booked a ticket to San Diego. Not only did I want to support him, but … it’s also time for a…
Happy 65th Birthday, Mama!

3 Things I Emailed This Week: Wine & Basketball, Scooters, and No-Work-Wednesdays
Two things I love: wine and basketball, making this a must-read: Secret Team Dinners Built the Spurs Dynasty. (added bonus: now I have a list of restos to check out in San Antonio!)

Book Report: OK, Universe
As I was looking for a book to download for an upcoming flight, friend Camille Styles posted 7 inspiring memoirs to read for the year. I’ve actually read most of them, but quickly downloaded Love Warrior by Glennon Doyle because it seemed like the perfect fit for someone who declared this year the year of vulnerability.…
A Couple of January Challenges
Ah, the month of noobs curling in squat racks and #Whole30s ruining happy hours everywhere … kidding, I’m all for anyone getting their resolution on for however long they can—something is better than nothing and all that. I don’t do resolutions other than declaring my year’s intention, but I did sign up for a few…
Shop Women-Led Wednesday
We may have a glut of faux-holidays around Thanksgiving, but how could I not write about Women-Led Wednesday? Combining women-led companies with online shopping, you know I love it. And besides, now is a great time to start following some instas and signing up for some mailing lists for some badass new companies so you…
