So last night, stone cold sober, I shredded some cheese for my steak nachos and I remember thinking it wasn’t as much cheese as I thought it would be, but I cooked them, turned off the kitchen light, ate my nachos and watched my shows… This morning I walk into the kitchen following a TRAIL…
It was but a short week, yet this week has brought me so. many. many. opportunities to practice grace. Yes, you can laugh. But it has! Grace for others, for a situation, for a frustration point … all of which translate back to me, obviously. Grace to myself for how I’m handling something, what it’s…
Happy Birthday, Childhood Bestie! You’re an incredible leader, friend, and kitten mama! Regymen Grove opened! 45-minute summer HIIT workouts here I come … love it and hate it but mostly hate it. Girls catch up Monday night with a sister stop by! Wednesday open play volleyball and Oakmont Honeymoon Spirit Lounge with a friend of…
It’s a rainy, lovely Saturday morning. I have things to do, but I have the luxury of moving slowly, unhurried. It’s great. Grateful for: Hammock. I love a hammock. Anywhere. But in my backyard?!

[author’s note: I am posting this unedited; written 4/23/21 // and then I never finished it because I flew to Costa Rica and tried to go off the grid as much as possible. But it’s so … happy! So I’m publishing it before publishing this week’s FGF.] I am starting this list on a feel…
I was interviewed on a podcast yesterday! It was my first time (not hosting). It was SO much fun. I LOVE MY TEAM so much. The past two days have been long, long workdays. I hurt my knee and was scared it was bad but kind of knew it wasn’t but was still scared because…
This is not a feel good post. This is an angry post. This week, I came up against something that I have been fortunate enough to have avoided for 36 years: sexual assault. Let me be clear: “nothing” happened. As in, I was not assaulted. Or murdered. But I was skillfully manipulated, isolated, and put…
My new go-to question for men on dating apps is “what’s you favorite thing about this week?” … I can’t say it’s more or less successful than any other opener, but to me it’s a pretty easy question because you can describe something that has already happened OR something that is going to happen ……
