The days are short, the evenings are long. Wait—that’s not the phrase?! But that’s how I feel with a baby … there’s just never enough time to get everything done, and she’s the most important thing, so I just hang out with her and let the rest fall by the wayside. Including my gratitude lists…

Feel Good Friday 111425
Here are a bunch of random things I am grateful for this week.

The last Feel Good Friday without a real live baby in it | 071125
She’s making her big debut next week. I probably need something with her name on it, right? No, we still don’t know yet what her name is. IT’S A LOT OF PRESSURE to name someone for the rest of their life… Grateful for: Lastly, of course, I am grateful for my Handsome Helpful Humanitarian Warrior…
Zotlen | Feel Good Monday 063025
Hello, I am now Lyssa Myska Zotlen. I wrote about the name change on LinkedIn, but I just can’t express enough gratitude for my Handsome Helpful Humanitarian Warrior Husband, who is on this ride with me. I am so grateful and impressed by his willingness to change our names to a family name. It’s weird.…
Quick Lucky List | Feel Good Friday 061325
Cultivating gratitude does indeed beget more gratitude. But I also recognize that I am so, so lucky to have so much goodness in my life. Sometimes I take this list too seriously, and put it off when I could just get to the, er, (bullet) point.
