To be clear, he does not read this blog. I’m not sure he ever has. But nonetheless we’ve got to mark the milestone birthday for my beloved husband that had us spring skiing, dining in a mine, and celebrating all weekend long with friends in Idaho Springs! I’m pretty sure he felt loved, but I…
There are friends that are just soul friends. Friends you’d do anything for, time be damned. I was lucky enough to spend just an afternoon with one of those a week ago, a twin flame I hadn’t seen in person in five years, and it was just magic. Fulfilling, busy, and not enough time. Then…
The joy of skiing. Sometimes I shock even myself with how much I love skiing. It’s honestly such a pain: layers and special socks and what boots to wear pre- and post- ski boots and layers after ski and how to keep your hair from freezing and hauling all the gear and stuffing your pockets…
We’ve now had our lil cabin in Colorado for a year—hard to believe!—and are gearing up to spend the last two weeks of the year in that cozy, beautiful place. Here are the top ten things I’m looking forward to doing in the wonderful little town of Idaho Springs. Note: this doesn’t include skiing (Loveland!)…
Appreciation post for the beauty of the mountains and the freedom they give my soul. Also appreciate the many shenanigans with people visiting my mountains and replenishing their souls too. And, Bob.

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,…
Y’all there’s too much gratitude for one post! For one week. For one helluva week. It all began with setting up for the baby shower, which honestly was almost as fun as the shower itself as my mom, aunt, and I, with some help from my dad, decorated and tied favors and hung diapers and…
The chain of events leading me to going to Breckenridge RIGHT NOW is a convoluted one at best. It involves an amazing crashing of circumstances that include but are not limited to an office desk eviction, a different planned last minute ski trip, airline miles that aren’t mine, an air mattress packed in my ski…
I’m back home (one of ’em anyway) for the wedding of yet another couple I successfully set up! I can’t wait to watch these two get married in the beautiful mountains. I’ve been here for a few days, and there’s just no place in the world like Aspen.
