The events of the past two months have been traumatic. The past two months of my life have absolutely rocked my confidence (irony) and sense of self. Despite my calling 2019 the year of vulnerability, figuring out how to be vulnerable has absolutely carried over into 2020 or I wouldn’t have made it this far.…
Jackson Hole ski trip was hilariously successful and I still feel like I haven’t seen Jackson because it was snowing the entire time! Where are the sweeping views?? Quick Hits: 5 Jackson Hole Recs Teton Thai (Teton Village) – More than one person has said this is the best Thai they’ve ever had, and I…
With the weather at sunny and 75, I was lucky enough to enjoy baskin’ in the sun in my backyard this week! Very grateful for my house house … host of Sunday night football watching, roaring fires, Monday nights reading books by a fire after a delicious dinner … This week was a tough one.…
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…
$3,395 It wasn’t the most amount of money raised for Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Backyard Ball 2019 out of all the Austin’s Finest honorees, but I am so impressed and amazed by the generous support of my friends and fam (and Tenchi One Martials Arts)! Last night was the big event, and I felt so loved…
… and am real freakin’ happy about it. It’s all I wanted, after all. This weekend is shaping up to be the same—yes! And then, late summer hits and all hell breaks loose with travel, adventure, and celebation 🙂 I’m grateful to be included in a very strong and welcoming community in the Cystic Fibrosis…
Can you imagine being friends, by choice, with someone for twenty seven years?! It seems like forever, but that’s how long my childhood bestie and I have been friends, and this past weekend with her in town was the closest I’ve felt to her in years. I am SO lucky to have her in my…
