Shelby often starts yoga class asking us to name one thing we’re grateful for and then how we want to feel. A couple weeks ago, tears sprang to my eyes as my soul answered the latter with “not like me”. I don’t want to feel like me. Taken aback but unsurprised—I had walked in salty,…
23 days of feel good friyay | 102823
Hitting publish before noon on Saturday calling it Friday 😉 Whoops, didn’t realize I hadn’t posted in 22 days. I was in DC for most of last week; it’s hard to articulate how I love Capitol Hill in DC. Over the 16 years one of my besties has lived there, I’ve gone for extended trips…
Talking Chain
I constantly wonder WHO are the people out there buying multiple-thousand-dollar jewelry?! Like, gems, okay maybe, but just regular jewelry?! Because I absolutely LOVE Marla Aaron and have posted her goods in checklists 27, 63, 77, but she is expensive. Nonetheless, she’s released another new style and another time I am absolutely obsessed: introducing the…

Scene: TUESDAY NIGHT at the fancy HEB on Lake Austin that isn’t really bougie except in the wine section We’re laughing and giggling down the aisles, being super playful, possibly annoying We’re buying too much stuff because we rarely grocery shop together and we were down to our barest cupboard and refrigerator situation so need…

Feel Good Friday 092923 posted on Monday (is this the new norm?)
Should we just switch to Feel Good Monday? It doesn’t have quite the same ring, does it? Previously, I wrote: It’s a little staycation day for me! We’re headed to an early afternoon wedding, so I just took the whole day off: slept in, had a latte a la dada, walked Bob around Town Lake…

40 Under 40
Arbitrary or no, there are things about forty that just make a person want to achieve by this birthday. In my case, it’s not always specific goals, more like a notion of “when I’ve grown up”—and FORTY is undeniably grown, right—I will have done these things. And, maybe I will have. I am getting married…
39 Before 39 Report Card
Last year, a couple months after turning 38, I published 39 things I want to continue doing before my 39th birthday (NOT in order). How did I do? I like it. I’m happy with this report!
