I HAVE TO CONFESS. I re-read my 35 Before 35 List. It’s nice. It sounds exactly like me at 30. Or 32. Variations on the same theme: build a startup/side hustle/passion; meet some fitness/wellness goal; do more of a certain type of traveling; learn to cook or eat something; make some shit. At the beginning…

Happy Birthday to the best Dad!
(This was supposed to post yesterday!! Travel is a bear) Let me tell this incredible man, role model, and jokester HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Happy birthday to the dad who builds benches with me, trims trees with me, excitedly pretends to be killing me with an extension cord after working in the yard, teaches me how to…
Taking Care of Yourself | Feel Good Friday 111618
I’m on a plane to New Orleans, that I was supposed to be on yesterday. But I had hopped on a plane Monday for two meetings in 48 hours in OC, and when I got back to Austin just couldn’t get everything done in time to take off again. Though I agonized over the change…
Yoga Challenge | Feel Good Friday 110918
I’m doing BFree Yoga‘s Happy Body Happy Mind 21 Day Challenge, and it’s pretty lax—do some yoga, meditate, feel good, boom. But I wanted to do all 21 days of yoga in a row as part of it. Well, per yogic tradition, the universe has other plans. Great plans! Fun plans! But not yoga-every-day plans. So…
Bike Commuting | Feel Good Friday 110218
Or, the random thing I labeled this FGF long before I sat down to write it. And to be fair, I love bike commuting. To happy hour, to volleyball, to the gym, to anywhere, it makes me so happy to be outside and NOT in a car! I am so grateful for Shoal Creek trail…
It’s Almost Like Home | Feel Good Friday 102618
Well, I made some new friends and biked around once the weather cleared up and had some awesome dinners with awesome people and it’s beginning to almost feel like I live here in Austin. Which is good because technically I moved here 5 months ago next week (although I long joked that I was moving…
YARD WORK! | Feel Good Friday 101918
Despite the deluge of rain the past few days weeks month, I managed to squeeze in some much-needed yard work last weekend. I asked my dad to help me—I wanted to tear out some bushes for an herb garden and move some stones around, he decided we should trim all the tree limbs and brought…
Boys Weekend | Feel Good Friday 101218
Except, y’know, I’m a girl. Was boys weekend where three of my closest dude friends flew in from literally all over the country (Atlanta, Tucson, OC) to hang out, hit up one day of ACL, and explore Austin really just a week ago?! It was so much fun. There were missed airport pickups, scooters, mubers,…
I Was Wrong
I was wrong about everything. I was wrong that I didn’t want the jacuzzi tub… even though it looks tiny, it feels fucking amazing to have a JACUZZI TUB in YOUR OWN PERSONAL bathroom. I was wrong about what I wanted when I moved home. I was wrong about who I wanted when I moved…
