That is, I would be grateful for it if I had it. This week has been insane, incredible, intense. Emotional to say the least. And as I turned to my yoga—where I completely lost my shit on the mat one day which I suppose is as good a place as any to lose your mind…
Grateful for this FULL, crazy life. Grateful for friends and family and therapy and Nali running around and a new striped sweater and my crazy employee whatsapping me while I’m at a music festival and Mostly grateful for GEORGE STRAIT. But also cowboy pool and Xian Noodles happy hour and Frankly strawberry lemonade vodka and…
This was my third trip to Chicago, but the first where I felt like I really got to wander and get the vibe of the city so many people love. And I get it, Chi-lovers: the city is sporty, authentic, energetic without being frenetic, outdoorsy, inventive, and just nice. We stayed in the Gold Coast…
Epic fun. The 3rd of July Beer Olympics was a smashing success, beyond my wildest dreams. It was so smooth—setup crew with Jersey boo made it happen. Slip flip cup was the favorite event, beer (easter) hunt was hilarious, my tutu made its eighth(?!) annual appearance, the underdogs won, there were influencers and painting and…
Celebrating my dad, the best dad, at Treaty Oak was a perfect Sunday! Sushi happy hour… Getting to know friends better. Letting people love me for who I am. For my dichotomies. As my champions. Embracing too much rejection. Playing Level 3 volleyball. Vanushing. Biking. Nali has sarcoma. It’s old lady cancer and there’s nothing…
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…
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?! Heaven. Also Heaven? My parents’ porch. I love that place. I especially love it with my extended family, the Teti fam…
The west Texas elopment was perfect. Every breakfast at Aster Marfa was perfect. Meeting Rice alum Roberto leading us to Garza Marfa for his Mimi y Roberto pottery was perfect. The family Sunday celebration brunch-into-hangout was also perfect. Sunday night cheese-and-wine catchup was perfect. My workouts this week were perfect. I hit 4 lifting days,…
Tuesday was a great day. Last weekend was great. Moving the trip I had planned for this week to next week was great plan. This week was great. MY week was great. Lots of things happened in the world to make me frustrated with our government, country, and society (as defined by social mores). I…
It was either two posts tomorrow or a FGT, so why not mix it up in a mixed up year?! These Feel Good Friday gratitude lists are intended to cover the previous week only, but on this last day of 2020 it’s hard not to use it as a reflection point for an entire year.…
