I’ve written a lot about learning or remembering to accept unconditional love, ahem, unconditionally. (Here are a few stories from dailyhap: Smelly Travel Can Open Up a Heart, How I Got Back to Being Me Through Friendship, and A Cab to the Airport) But this past weekend and week was a welcome reminder of just…
The chain of events leading me to going to Breckenridge RIGHT NOW is a convoluted one at best. It involves an amazing crashing of circumstances that include but are not limited to an office desk eviction, a different planned last minute ski trip, airline miles that aren’t mine, an air mattress packed in my ski…
Y’all, Austin is still Austin. Thank god. This has been my longest return home since I lived in Austin full-time, and I’m startled, relieved, thrilled to find out that fundamentally Austin is still Austin. I thought I didn’t know it, but I do. I know the people, the friendly waves, the gravelly sands of Town…
What a year! More to come on that but suffice it to say that I, like many others if instagram is to be believed, say good riddance to 2017. This week, though, has been wonderful—family time on family time on family time, with a hilarious road trip, remote working, “cheese” shopping, and getting to meet…
Nali, Mom, and I are road trippin’ right now (presumably). We’re making the 20-hour+ trek so that I can bring my nervous lil pup back to Texas for two weeks! (follow along on insta stories for the hilarity…) Leaving behind my home even for a couple weeks, here are the things I’ll most miss: Sundays!…

We left Friday after work and booked the insane return flight time of 6am Monday morning, in time to work. As you can see…
What a range of emotions … My absolutely wonderful family Nali in the hospital Getting sick myself from the stress of Nali in the hospital Somehow this making me want to clean out my closet And spend too much money on new pillows And cook For Nali, of course Anticipation of a weekend in Seattle…
This is one of the hardest gratitude lists I’ve had to write because I just had to leave Nali at the emergency dog hospital for pancreatitis and I am grateful that it’s not worse and I am grateful that she’s gonna be fine and all that but really I am just a damn wreck and…
I surfed!! With my besties, because they’re the only ones I feel comfortable surfing with 🙂 It was SO much fun. Now I have to gather the cajones to get out there on my own and surf … Has it really only been a week since my last Feel Good Friday post? I can’t even…
To me, it was no big deal. My mama has been filling in for me in desperate sports situations for years—she still talks about the time I made her play in a 3-on-3 basketball tournament in high school. So to ask her to play in two beach flag football games seemed totally reasonable to me……
