Photo Representation | Feel Good Friday 040717

OK. So many things are encompassed by these four photos. I had an amazing opportunity to network with some really accomplished people this week, but the coolest part about it was that no one was too cool for school—every one of these highly successfully people was down to earth and willing to talk about anything.…

The Widowed Girl(space)friends Club

10 years. Today, ten years have passed since my best friend was killed, an event that quite obviously changed my life. I’ve written about it plenty here. Today doesn’t hurt like other anniversaries have, but you never stop wondering what might have been. As time passes and the closeness of many of my foundational mixed-gender…

Nali | Feel Good Friday 032417

If you follow me on instagram, you’ve no doubt seen me chronicling the trials and tribulations of Nali getting bit at dog beach last Sunday. I think it was far more traumatic for me than her, as she remained as cool as a cucumber while I struggled to hold it together. After ten years together,…

Mala // The Pointed Arrow // Intention

Or, again, they’re just pretty for a dirty hippie faux celeb.…

Happy Soul | Feel Good Friday 020317

Good with the Bad | Feel Good Friday 022417

What a freakin’ week! I played a football tournament in a monsoon and then sunshine! Played Saturday away with a really fun crew, left my bike, wheels and tires got stolen off of it. Poison ivy came in STRONG from Black Star Falls hike last week. My bro was here! My mom IS here! Fire…

Is 98% lean ground beef grass-fed?

Or, my mom is awesome and one of those people who will actually email to ask questions. Paleo/Primalists can hush with their “98% is too lean!” bs before this post, because I agree and grass-fed beef fat is perfectly fine if not good for you, but my mom likes the super-duper lean kind and this…

Primal Action Items

Things to try in 2017: When I want a break from how I normally train: a month of the 10,000-Swing Kettlebell Workout (hilarious post here) and actual 10,000-swing kettlebell workout here. When I want to experiment: Mark’s Daily Apple has 41 action items here. Here are my top 10: Do 100 squats a day. Air…
