And quiet not just because I’ve been sick since I posted about my good health—it was only a temporary return, apparently—and flying with whatever I had has rendered me unable to hear appropriately out of first my right ear, then my left, and now both are at about 50%. It’s stupid. We went to northern…
Sanne and I spent the last week “in Chicago” with one of my best friends, a mama to two boys, who actually lives in a very sweet suburb of Chicago that is basically a dreamland of boys biking to each others’ houses, mamas texting, and driveway drinks. The parents are all lovely and amazing, the…
BIG BIG THINGS in my world I am grateful for: I cannot believe Sanne is one! She has the best papa. And mama 😉 And cousins/fam! This is art from one of her cousins made just for her birthday. We had a pool party at a friend’s house, and it was just perfect. Pool, people,…
We’re heading to Bend to see my MCT!! I miss them so much all the time and cannot wait for several fun-filled days together! I flew last-minute to Colorado 🙂 How lucky am I that my Twin happened to have the day off, and could come up to the cabin and clean and stage our…
It’s a bold move to title a post Funny. I’m in a funny mood. I’m amped—it feels like there’s more motion and activity in my job search/work search than ever. It feels like there’s motion in podcasting and h.e.n.r.y. and emceeing and all sorts of Brand Lyssa things (barf). I’m happy—I got to attend the…
Grateful that this trip, we felt like we really lived there. It was incredible, both grounding and expansive, and I was so happy. Great music on the mountain from singer-songwriter Adam Craig after a glass-bottomed gondola ride on the new cable car. Our favorite brunch at MTN Prime. Frothy Cup. Vintage Moose. Mountain Made, Mountain…
A great conversation: posted it on LinkedIn. It happened on Friday, and I was stoked. Posting though felt risky. Did it anyway. A week later, can confirm it wasn’t. Energy, y’all. Good energy begets good energy. Vibez. Frequency. Manifestation. Belief. Whatever we’re calling it, we, I, need more of the good stuff: the faith, the…
I mean the spread was really GOOD. I made two whipped cheeses (brie and feta) from this book: I’ll Bring the Apps, and did a signature blackberry bramble cocktail alongside wine, beer, and hopwater. Friends, networking people, and new people all came. It was a perfect mix, and the right number of people, and I…
HeyPeggy.ai launched today!! She’s the first in what will be a suite of small business marketing agents. We’ve been crunch-timing her all week and it’s super fun to be building. I can’t wait to keep talking about her while bopping around to all the free events in the city. I started my SXSW journey, here’s…
stowing away on ships. i have recently found out that ancestors ON BOTH SIDES OF MY FAMILY came to America by stowing away on a ship. does this explain everything you need to know about myska allen rebelliousness? or is it a story of persecution? or was stowing away on ships just really common back…
