I published my won’t-do before 36 list last year before my birthday, and almost forgot about it—my 36th birthday is really sneaking up on me. I think I did a damn fine job of accomplishing everything on this list through some serious f*cking challenges, personal and global. Through a really traumatic job and subsequent job…

An Overnight to Fredericksburg
As a native Texan, I had some reservations about an overnight to Fredericksburg. But! I now wholly endorse the place because this was an amazing 24 hours filled with surprises. The intention was a holy-grail visit to French Connection Wines, a winery I’ve been stalking since they opened last September. The place is every bit…
Therapy Thursday: Talk to Yourself
Working. On. This.
Seeking Sunshine
I am suddenly having a yellow moment: I want everything I own to be yellow. Check out the citron I’m currently coveting (during covid*). Shop the items here.

ALLLLL the yoga teachers! (UPDATED)
This feels like an embarrassment of riches. There is literally not enough time in the day to do all the yoga with all the teachers I have loved and lost when I moved away. The quarantine’s silver lining is that they’re back and zoom classes are the only option so I get to experience the…
