Tuesday, my internet went out. For all my technical knowledge I could do nothing except be on hold—chat and phone, through three devices—with customer service for hours. Once I had the tech scheduled for the next day, I suddenly, irrevocably, absolutely could NOT anymore. I could not work, I could not use my hot spot,…
DID THIS PAST WEEK LAST 100 YEARS (OF SOLITUDE*) OR IS IT JUST ME? How was it only last Friday that we enjoyed a FrontPortraits photo shoot at the MAC**? Did I watch an entire season of Scandal in just three days? Was it really last week in which I read the books I recommended…
My first art sale! I’m working on an Emotion series, and the first piece from it sold today! To a very important art collector and amazing supporter of my art! Also, I cut my hair even shorter! I asked for “edgier” and that it is. I love it. Now, onto the topics no one can…

011720 // Aspen: 1, Lyssa: 0 I returned from last weekend’s Aspen trip fulfilled with friendship, exhausted, and sicker than I’ve been in a long, long time. Like, sick enough that I fell asleep on the DEN>AUS flight in a middle seat without a neck pillow. Sick enough that I still haven’t eaten solid food,…
I am so grateful, for this most trying, amazing, high and low, peak- and valley-filled year. I am grateful for this absolutely ridiculous Christmas week, which saw me bounce from San Antonio to Sonoma to Houston back to Austin in just 6 days… San Antonio generations girls getaway at the gorgeous Hotel Emma in the…
What a jam-packed weekend and week! I know the holidays are usually a busy season, but I don’t remember them being THIS intense before. Nonetheless, let’s get to gratitude: The best Tanukiversary one year anniversary party ever! My amazing family and friends were there with 50 of our closest people we don’t know. It was…
Like my old neighbor in Aspen who woke up every morning, walked out onto his balcony, and sighed “Just another terrible day in paradise!”, so it is about adventuring with my friends. Honest question: Does everyone have it this good with their friends? Like, every trip we—whatever combination of my friends that “we” includes—take is…
