The days are short, the evenings are long. Wait—that’s not the phrase?! But that’s how I feel with a baby … there’s just never enough time to get everything done, and she’s the most important thing, so I just hang out with her and let the rest fall by the wayside. Including my gratitude lists…

Feel Good Friday 111425
Here are a bunch of random things I am grateful for this week. I’m skipping the incredible MCT trip and Halloween, there will never be enough words to express my gratitude for that framily and not even food poisoning could stop us from having an incredible week together. I love y’all. Now onto the usual…
Scheduled Routine | Feel Good Friday 102425
I’m not a routine person – but I am. I am not a scheduled routine person, but I largely do the same things every day. This is changing. I have realized this both because I have very little routine except around the baby’s rhythms, and because within scheduled routine you gain free time, which I…
Does the resurgence of Coldwater Creek coincide with my becoming a mom…
… or is it just a coincidence? I received a Coldwater Creek catalog in the mail this week. I loved this outfit: Does this mean I really am a mom now? Or is the og catalog brand doing new things? Flipping further through, I think I just stumbled on one good page, I am indeed…
Zotlen | Feel Good Monday 063025
Hello, I am now Lyssa Myska Zotlen. I wrote about the name change on LinkedIn, but I just can’t express enough gratitude for my Handsome Helpful Humanitarian Warrior Husband, who is on this ride with me.

Role Models | Feel Good Friday 052325
Saturday morning was amazing. I feel so loved and supported heading into the next chapter of my life … I could not be more grateful to the absolutely awesome hosts of the party and the incredible women who showed up from near and far to celebrate and shower me with love. Baby Zotlen already has…
I am so excited! | Feel Good Friday 051625
I get to see my best girls and favorite fam this weekend and I am so excited! We booked a last minute trip to Playa del Carmen for Memorial Day weekend and I am so excited! I gamed out some points so it’s mostly free except an expensive return flight home putting us in San…
Ugly or Cute Enough? | Feel Good Friday 050225
A question I’ve been posing to myself more and more recently … Birkenstock Florida Platform sandal – a bit of a platform, three straps, and just a different vibe than the ubiquitous (and by that I mean I personally wear them EVERYWHERE despite my misgivings at buying them two years ago) Arizona sandal. But is…
Unhinged layout but Feel Good Monday 042825
A Gratitude List This is fun! There are things called WonderBlocks now in WordPress, which are fun to play with. I am grateful I am curious and continue to learn. I use ChatGPT for scrounging up new work. I use other AI tools for creation (yes I love Canva). I need to do more. I…
