Grounding. I’ve been back in Austin for just over a week now, and I’m so happy. I feel at ease, at home. My bug bites are healing, Nali is getting used to the heat, and I’m spending time around the lake as much as possible to try to make up for missing the ocean. Nurturing.…
Happy Birthday, Mama! The Bye Bye Beyoncé (Texas Queen) Party was a smashing success. When I sat down to write this post a week later, I thought I’d be able to find the words to describe the joy and love I felt, but I truly can’t. I was overwhelmed with love, affection, and happiness. From…
My puppy dawg, my lil buddy, my constant companion … and morning and evening walks on the beach with her, especially when nali poop dances come into play or when she sits down and refuses to leave Poison ivy bonding with my fbgf4lyfe reconnection … a wine night and finally trying the Cassidy’s grilled cheese…
Hey, I can’t help it if inspiration struck from a beer ad … I’m grateful this week for a chance to chill, to take things easy, to embrace a certain limbo that’s both inevitable and inevitably frustrating. I’m also grateful for: my mama! but we all knew that, it’s just that mother’s day was last…
My whole life, I wanted to live by the ocean. It’s downright magical how the ocean can transform you—ground you, excite you, annoy you. The ocean is an all-encompassing real but mystical, concrete but ethereal force. It’s a study in contrasts, like so many of us, and I’m so grateful for my (daily) time spent…
I’m at Stagecoach. Can you believe it? Pretty stoked. I thought I’d post from here, but I won’t. So stay tuned for next week’s gratitude list. In the interim, know that I am really, really grateful for the gifts in my life. Super Happy birthday wishes tomorrow to an awesome someone! *tk = magazine=speak…
I’m grateful for a relatively pain-free life, for a body that is strong and lets me do all kinds of cool shit. I’m grateful I get to go on adventures, play sports, do yoga, walk my dog, and even sit without being in pain. Last week I had an inflamed disc, this week I have…
The desert is supposed to reset you, right? Well I didn’t spend long enough in Joshua Tree to set myself up for this whirlwind week. Nothing went the way I planned, at all, any day this week. I was stressed. I was overwhelmed. I just couldn’t even. But, Thursday night we made it to Park…
It’s a Feel Good Friday on Good Friday! But this is how I feel about it: Oh yeah, things I don’t want to do? I’ll make you sparkle. Oh yeah, stressful scenarios? Glitter to the face. Grateful this week for: the mustards’ visit last weekend with maximum wine and general newporting—pretty sure they didn’t leave…
Look at these stellar trios of women (an impressive morning-to-night top row tbh)… Women who love, uplift, support, believe in, and play (football, volleyball, in the general sense of the word) with other women are certainly a thing to cherish. Thankful for girls that don’t compete, belittle, or disparage other girls. Beyond grateful for my…
