I mean, it’s perfect. I debated what to do with this kitchen alcove/nook, but making it a coffee bar was definitely the right move. Thanks in no small part to the most amazing, badass, delicious drip coffee maker of ever, that I just got after coveting my facebook girlfriend for life’s for years… It’s the Zojirushi…
After all that research on what backpack to bring backpacking as an adult, I went rogue and backed the Briidgs ($150) on Kickstarter (where it was $90), which arrived—as promised—one day before my trip. I love it. Here’s why I picked it: Size: starts at 30L, can expand to 39L Straps/function: can be carried as a…
I am 34 tomorrow. Thirty-four is somehow so much older than 33, and two weeks ago I prepared a post for this Feel Good Friday that didn’t actually feel very good, deep in the angsty throes of self-reflection about what it means to be a certain age at which I suddenly feel like I should…
Travel. I am grateful I get to travel! Norway was beautiful, soul-searching, painful, and I’m deeply in love with it (sounds a bit like love eh?). Copenhagen was quick and charming. More on both to come soon. And now I’m off to the Circling Festival and Amsterdam… wish me luck! Follow my adventures on ig…
Tomorrow, I depart for Europe! Today, we discuss the kind of person I am and want to be. Last weekend, I played a volleyball tournament all Saturday where you switched teams every game—it was really fun, and I got to meet a bunch of people. That night, I was exhausted but felt pressure to go…
“Let’s just pretend I move here in September” I said this past weekend, because I haven’t spent much time in Austin since “moving back”. I am grateful, however, for the really awesome friends I have here and the exciting things falling in to place to set me up for a wonderful fall in Austin. But…
This is one of my favorites: As we discussed on Monday, which feels like AGES ago, this has been a freakin’ whirlwind, and while I’d like to be the baby tomato, it doesn’t look to be slowing down any time soon. Maybe I can ketchup in Europe?
Is this perhaps the most non-sensical headline I’ve ever written? Maybe. And if so, very fitting. Shhhh don’t tell anyone I haven’t posted a gratitude list since 7/13… here’s why: Travels. Tahoe. Lululemonlinenpants. Framily. SoCal. Last night. House sale. Solo drive. Tucson stop. Family. Engagement. House hunt. Brother. Grateful. Exhausted.
… now I just have to find and frame my undergrad diploma … I’ve gotten a bunch of emails recently from potential Smartly students with questions regarding the Smartly EMBA program, and I love connecting personally with them. I’ve written about it here and here; but I also thought I’d share my generalized feedback on…
“You will never be completely at home again, because part of your heart will always be elsewhere. That is the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more than one place.” I’m really feeling this quote right now (I posted it years ago on my instagram, at the time I…
