Happy Valentine’s Day. I love love. I love celebrating love. I do not love Valentine’s Day, but we are having friends over for dinner tonight to celebrate their engagement, so I am thrilled to be celebrating love on this love day! I am coming up on a year married to the love of my life,…
Grateful for the nitty gritty in every day experiences: Sitting outside in the sunshine in a sweater and leggings but barefoot: this is a Texas thing only, methinks. It’s a glorious, fleeting feeling. A brisk walk, just around the block, to get sunshine on my face before I start my day. Cold, crisp, not slow…
Let’s hope this isn’t a harbinger of things to come, but maybe it’s just a new normal? Maybe we’re just more flexible with time overall in 2025 … In the new year, as in every year, I have so much to be grateful for. Like: We hit some good workouts this week, ate well, and…
I love the rain. There was a 12% chance of rain this morning, but it’s been sprinkling all day and it’s dark and cold and cozy. I’m finishing The Paris Affair and while it started slowly, I don’t want it to end, even though I think I know how it does, now. I almost wish…
The biggest day of gratitude! What a coast-to-coast whirlwind the last week has been but I am grateful for my family, the opportunities, and my new, bigger family on the east coast! Holiday season is here, and boy is it packed with activities! I am so excited to catch up with so many people and…

I’m so excited for this weekend. Birthdays are such a great excuse for celebrating, traveling, and relaxing, and for this milestone bday we’re doing it ALLLLLL! Valle de Guadalupe was incredible. The food was awesome, the views were amazing, and there was *some* great wine. We had so much fun, relaxing and eating well and…
the bits of summer garden we have growing: tiny cukes and tiny tomatoes and big, fat abundant figs! my helpful handsome humanitarian warrior husband made a delicious dinner under 100 degree temps – almost nice on our morning walks – and a bit of rain bob is naughty but i’m grateful for his training and…
I love funny friends. I received this one word text twice last weekend; the second time was the hilarious one. we did “afternoon drinks?” instead 😉 OMG y’all. I AM DONE WORKING UNTIL APRIL 1! It hasn’t really sunk in yet – there was SO much to do to get my team ready and make…

I think! there’s so much to do! but it’s gonna get done! and it’s beautiful outside! so I am happy! and we booked the spontaneous honeymoon and moved things all around and i am so excited! that is all. obviously i am grateful for many other things, including my incredible…
