Clarity. In recent conversations with my loving if at times too-psychologically-attuned family, they suggested I lack clarity around what I want: in my career, in my geography, in my mate. I disagreed, obviously, but have to wonder in a 3 v 1 situation if there isn’t some truth to what they’re saying? I’ve been trying…
You guys, I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list—of places I went this past year. Here’s a list: Hawaii, Tahoe, Aspen, Mammoth, Omaha, Austin (Feb, April, Dec), Fresno, Rae Lakes/Kings Canyon, Asheville, Pebble Beach/Paso Robles/Santa Ynez, Portland, Denver & Aspen, Joshua Tree, a few camping weekends in there, Houston, Tahoe again for New…
YOU GUYS. I have so many good blog posts just waiting to be … written. Whoever talks about the holidays being a more laid-back time at work never worked for a company trying to meet integration deadlines the first week of 2017. I’m as busy as ever with work, plus trying to get in that…
… The color of our lives? (anyone? cotton commerical?) The Pantone Color of the Year for 2017 is Greenery, a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature’s greens revive, restore and renew. They say: “While Serenity and Rose Quartz, the PANTONE Colour of the Year 2016, expressed the…
This is a mashup of how I feel today. Vulnerable, a little sad, a little restless. A lot grateful for friendships. But a whole lot of that learning to be a friend thing—always learning. Most of my learnings of late have come from the sharing part of friendship, the part where I need someone’s help or…
Because you’re never too old? As if I haven’t made enough lists of things I want? (here, here, here … in the last two weeks alone!) After a wonderful night around the fire pit in Houston, I must have one for my patio. I also need the instax bc I LOVE the photos that come…
This week was jam-packed and awesome. Wrapped up a cleanse (more on that later), set up my hipster Christmas tree (clearly I miss Aspen), and, of course, did something not-THAT-radical to my face that surprisingly not many people have noticed! Can you see what I’m talking about? I LOVE it. LOVE it. As the sun…
Because it’s just too classic American! Because I’m just obsessed! Look at this gorgeous Pendleton travel luggage set. The suitcases are $230-$270. But in reality, I never ever take that much luggage anywhere. I barely take more than a tiny carry-on. I am far more likely to use an Away suitcase, a new brand with…
I’m gonna brag here for a minute. Not even humblebrag, just straight up brag. Y’all, my family is awesome. Not just my mama, dad, and bro (happy 30th!!), but my entire extended family of aunts and uncles, cousins, cousin/brother (NOT a weird TX thing), cousins-in-law, cousin’s girlfriend, and baby cousins!! Everyone gets along so well…
