As 2020 continues, so the Summa Uv Paddleboards continues… with a Friday night float turned hilarious 3am dance/bumble party wherein two single girls alternately dance it up and swipe on bumble while veeeeeery tipsy on (skinny) margaritas, a great new exploration of the other end of the lake followed by garage beers and Indian food,…
Happy Juneteenth. Here’s my text summary: It’s the “ending” day of slavery in the US … after the Civil War and Emancipation Proclamation, Texas ? still didn’t free slaves until June 19 a couple years later so that’s when it’s celebrated. More and more companies are recognizing the day as a way to celebrate Black…
“You look happy,” said one of my best friends. You know what? Despite feeling like everything is ‘wrong’ and wild and unsatisfying in my life, I am.
Just a pure and simple gratitude list, because that’s what we all need right now. Pink Salt canned rosé in so many ways… a Friday afternoon, a river float, a possibility… First Guadalupe River float of the summer. Perfect weather, cold river, cannypack, what a day! My body is inherently good and powerful and for…
It’s a weird, weird world we live in right now.

I am restless. I’ve seen memes saying that it’s a very American thing to be bored by being under quarantine this long … is it? Or is it a very American thing to continuously question authority and the efficacy of our government’s policies? I’d like to think it’s the latter. But who really knows what’s…
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…
