I believe in the hot girl walk. The focus-on-yourself, reflect-in-gratitude, low-impact cardio walk. And there is no place better than Town Lake (Lady Bird Lake) winding through the center of Austin, full of people and dogs to watch. I haven’t ever done a group one though! Enter my fave athletic wear brand: Senita. I’m leading…
Bob, Zimbobwae, Byobi … the weird lil corgi army crawler guy continues to be simultaneously a complete and utter dickhead (to strangers, people walking by, and everyone who has to hear him on my conference calls) and a source of endless joy, love, and humor (especially at night, when it’s dark, and he can’t see…
Remember when this blog was Life in Austin & Aspen? I’m in Aspen again today! This place is so full of magic and wonder, and yet, so different than it was before. The skiing though? As epic as ever. 2023 is off to a fabulous start. The fancy as f@$k! new year’s eve party was…
The most important. More than water, food, shelter, we humans need love. AND I HAVE IT. And I want to keep it. And grow it. I want to love bigger and harder and more and more openly! Last year was incredibly BRIGHT. 2022 was challenging but somehow not, as it opened my heart to SO…
This goofy boy stole my heart on Dec 7, or maybe Dec 6 when I saw his profile online. It was another 10 days before I was allowed to foster this “behavioral issue” dog, and another 9 after that before we sent the “we will adopt him please” email. Today, January 3, 2023, is the…
This week I have been called both a bulldog and a karen, with basically the same meaning but obviously very different connotations. I just call it tenacity, and it’s a part of my personality that I very much like—it has set me up for success in an overall corporate world that still values masculine-style aggression,…
My family is so effing awesome. There are 21 of us, plus my Handsome Humanitarian Warrior’s 3, in Austin for this holiday and I couldn’t be happier. I am so grateful for my cousins. They are all incredible humans. It turns out I haven’t seen some of them in over three years and while we’ve…
BUT FIRST, all the details about my art show in a couple of weeks! Mark your calendars now for Nov 12 & 13 to check out rad art and sip radder wine. And hang out with me. Which I am grateful for, obviously. The recognition for the third year in a row – as long…
Aaaaaand I wrote last Thursday: It is almost certain I will forget to post FGF from Merida, Mexico, where I will be tomorrow on the eponymous Friday, so let’s post on my birthday Thursday, shall we? I’m prepping for a small bday party at my parents’ house, casual wine and pizza I keep saying, but…
9 hours of volleyball! 11 games! And my achilles felt good. Made it to the semi-finals in random-draw tournament. Couldn’t jump as high as I expected sometimes, but otherwise am definitely almost back! My body? Not so good. I physically could not peel myself off of the couch once we got home; it is no…
