The mountain air, the gurgling river, sleeping under the stars… reset my soul and life and mind. Hanging with my bromance, my coven, and my new phx bestie filled my heart with happiness and peace. Working on the library deck, drinking gas station coffee, and eating Bangkok Happy Bowl brought maximum contentment to a remote…
Pop quiz: do you know the name of the band that sings “Take My Breath Away” from one of the best movies of all time, Top Gun? Berlin. Their name is Berlin and I got to see them live at The Mountain Winery and I got chills when they sang that song. Imagine this, but…
Y’know how most of August has been pretty chill, and I’ve been staying in Austin and sort of catching up to myself? I’m about to get away from myself again, with all sorts of trips and travels and events coming up! And I turn 35. 35 is my basketball number, and probably gonna be an…
… and am real freakin’ happy about it. It’s all I wanted, after all. This weekend is shaping up to be the same—yes! And then, late summer hits and all hell breaks loose with travel, adventure, and celebation 🙂 I’m grateful to be included in a very strong and welcoming community in the Cystic Fibrosis…
GOT. MY. TATTOO. Bounced from San Diego to Orange County to Sonoma, saw friends and pups and family and drank all the wine. Like, all the wine. I felt like part of a team. So much love! And now three friends are coming in from OC and Colorado, and while I love them dearly, all…
I did some stuff. Look at these house projects! First, I hung my stick on the wall like art. My brother came in and was like “Nice driftwood art!” I said, “That’s trash from your trash tree that fell on my house!” Which it is. But it’s also badass and looks badass on the wall,…
She’s fine, but nali got hit by a car on Friday night. After a couple of days on doggie opioids before her real vet put the kibosh on the smack, she’s totally back to normal. My gratitude for her health knows no bounds right now. My gratitude that neither of us was hurt is similarly…
Today, we’re just doin’ a traditional gratitude list. Walking Town Lake My parents’ porch overlooking Lake Austin Ranch waters at Ranch 616 Crab claws Justine’s Athleta shopping with my mama (bought this dress I never would have if I hadn’t tried it on) Yard work … how awesome is it to have a yard to…
I’m going to just pretend I published this on time on Friday … Perhaps ironic for a post named after him, I did not take one single photo with my Bromance this past weekend … oh, except in countless photobooths. So those analog memories will have to live on (in my guest bathroom) while this…
I feel good. And it’s not just the IV hydration drip my coworkers and I went to get during lunch! After a good weekend and week of solid workouts, good eating, yoga, and a new hiking spot, I’m just content. Which isn’t to say there wasn’t anxiety and emotions this week, just that we’re dealing…
