It has been a WEEK. Hence, the image to the left, which is how I feel right now. Last weekend, one of my best spuds was here and that was awesome. We achieved a great combination of doing things and not doing things, and it is always awesome to hang out with someone and just…
As I settle into life in austin (again), 17 things I am grateful for: my dad – the most buckin’ awesome dad my brother – it’s amazing being back and getting to just hang out, climb, chill with our parents, whatever my mama – we know dis playing frisbee with nali (this nerf fris is…
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.…
I went to the gym instead of writing of this post.
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.

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…
When I tell people that my brother and I had an absolute blast skiing in the rain last weekend in Park City, the reaction across the board is “but rain isn’t good for skiing.” No, friends, it’s not. But what is good for skiing is attitude, and our entire day centered around a sense of…
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…
