What is a Gratitude List Turning 41 with a 7-week-old baby begets a very different kind of gratitude, kind of birthday, kind of LIFE. I am not my own anymore, and yet it’s as critical as ever that I remain true to who I am, so that the little teeny life that depends on me…

The last Feel Good Friday without a real live baby in it | 071125
She’s making her big debut next week. I probably need something with her name on it, right? No, we still don’t know yet what her name is. IT’S A LOT OF PRESSURE to name someone for the rest of their life… Grateful for: Lastly, of course, I am grateful for my Handsome Helpful Humanitarian Warrior…
Role Models | Feel Good Friday 052325
Saturday morning was amazing. I feel so loved and supported heading into the next chapter of my life … I could not be more grateful to the absolutely awesome hosts of the party and the incredible women who showed up from near and far to celebrate and shower me with love. Baby Zotlen already has…
I am so excited! | Feel Good Friday 051625
I get to see my best girls and favorite fam this weekend and I am so excited! We booked a last minute trip to Playa del Carmen for Memorial Day weekend and I am so excited! I gamed out some points so it’s mostly free except an expensive return flight home putting us in San…
Ugly or Cute Enough? | Feel Good Friday 050225
A question I’ve been posing to myself more and more recently … Birkenstock Florida Platform sandal – a bit of a platform, three straps, and just a different vibe than the ubiquitous (and by that I mean I personally wear them EVERYWHERE despite my misgivings at buying them two years ago) Arizona sandal. But is…

We are throwing an engagement party I am VERY EXCITED ABOUT this weekend. It’s going to be fancy and I am excited about every bit of it, not the least of which is celebrating some of our best friends’ engagement. I get to do last minute errands tonight, and set up the house, all of…
Bluebird | Feel Good Friday 030725
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…
Uncomfortable | FGF 022125
I am grateful for the ability to be comfortable being uncomfortable. For instance, my latest LinkedIn post: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7298488105278287884/ I am also grateful for all the comforts of home: how cozy my house is, how much I love my office, how we have a beautiful dining room table to host dinners and big fluffy couch to…
