This Friday the Thirteenth has not, so far, been lucky. But I am forever grateful for my friends. My incredible, supportive, loving, hilarious friends. They are family, and they are simply the best thing I have ever invested time and energy in. This is related to the Super Bowl Ski Trip IX, but also a…

FIRST Feel Good Day of 2026 | 011226
Regular readers know that FGF has been sporadic at best throughout the past year—not because gratitude is less important by any stretch, but perhaps because I’ve been less chronically online. So I think it’s time we move to FGD: Feel Good Day. Whatever day I post. I will still aim for Fridays, but this is…
2026: The Year of Softness
I wanted to paint the feeling of letting go But when you have a baby, nothing goes according to plan and that’s part of letting go so I asked AI to do it … … and I don’t like it. Which helped me understand that the word of the year isn’t actually letting go (it’s…
Feel Good Friday 111425
Here are a bunch of random things I am grateful for this week. I’m skipping the incredible MCT trip and Halloween, there will never be enough words to express my gratitude for that framily and not even food poisoning could stop us from having an incredible week together.

I am grateful for his tireless championing of peaceful discourse, which is critical to the success of…

What is a Gratitude List Turning 41 with a 7-week-old baby begets a very different kind of gratitude, kind of birthday, kind of LIFE. I am not my own anymore, and yet it’s as critical as ever that I remain true to who I am, so that the little teeny life that depends on me…
Does the resurgence of Coldwater Creek coincide with my becoming a mom…
… or is it just a coincidence? I received a Coldwater Creek catalog in the mail this week. I loved this outfit: Does this mean I really am a mom now? Or is the og catalog brand doing new things? Flipping further through, I think I just stumbled on one good page, I am indeed…
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.…
