Happy happy birthday to the best Mama!! After a whirlwind Memorial Day weekend, last weekend was a welcome “slow down” with seeing Top Gun Maverick again this time on IMAX still love it!

Fo Real Feel Good Friday 052722
A long weekend stretches before us, with boats and lakehouses and pool parties looming like the Texas sun—that is, coming in hot and slightly terrifying with its intensity. I was so excited. But today is just not a good day. Nali isn’t doing well. I’m not doing well. I spent the morning cleaning up poop…
Feel Good Monday is Better than Noneday | Feel Good Friday 051622
Because I’m a little grumpy this morning, trying to figure out how NOT to live in a state of constant stress, fit in all the things I want to do, and nurture relationships that are all important to me. Easy like Monday morning, right? So that’s what gratitude lists are for, and it doesn’t matter…
From Sayulita to SKO, from Fasting to BOX JUMPS | Feel Good Friday 042822
Dammit Fridays get away from me, don’t they? This work week has been wild. The things I’ve seen/heard/witnessed this week … let’s just say I cannot be happier that it’s the weekend, coming off my second night in a row where I promise myself I have to be done working before it’s dark (also mainly…
Feel Good Good Friday 041522
“You’ve got a swagger you didn’t have before …” one of my football teammates said to me when I showed up to cheer them on. Maybe I do. Despite my frustrations with my achilles—yes, teammate is right, I am ahead of schedule but I am still SO FAR from playing—I am doing SO well. People…
The Sun is Shining | Feel Good Friday 040822
It is gorgeous outside. I am going there as soon as I finish typing this gratitude list. I might make this list shorter than I intended to in order to get there faster. I got to ride my bike! 20 mins, easy peasy, but thrilling: the air on my skin! The wind in my hair!…
Flight Change | Feel Good Friday 032522
Lil Nali gave us quite a scare, so much so that I flew home early from a work conference and spent a bunch of hours in her closet, so many, in fact, that I’m pretty sure I annoyed her and she got up and left her own safe space … whoops. I’m grateful it was…
Spring Break | Feel Good Friday 031822
After an absolutely soul-crushing work week last week, this week has welcomingly slowed down as many of my colleagues are on spring break with their kids. The much-needed breathing room allowed me to catch up on some things that needed doing, and I’m so grateful for that extra time. Now just imagine if I needed…
Checklist 73
You know Zoom has taken over your life when an entire company has sprung up around a “work robe”—a mullet of bathwear with a button up top and “comfy” robe bottom. Part wtf and part wfh. Feed & Booze Me I love sacha inchi and Brass Roots snacks are making puffs from them, which is…

Grateful for my achilles healing Grateful for Mondo Sports and my PTs Justin & Katie Grateful for Shelby and her massages Grateful for BFree, and yoga at Antone’s Grateful for this cold front, for it refreshing Nali enough to keep her zooming, for sweatpants and hoodies Grateful for fire Grateful for friends and birthdays and…
