Pieces of my soul. That’s what I’m grateful for this week. Monday marked 9 years since my best friend was killed. It seems so long ago, yet so recent. The feeling of loss fades, but will always be present—because he is, and has, a piece of my soul. Appropriately, I celebrated his birthday and the anniversary of his…
The best therapy. Banging heavy weights. Snatch, deadlift, power clean. Squat, lunge, press. New job has me doing this less, and I didn’t know how much I needed it until I wasn’t doing it. And I got grouchy. REAL grouchy. Apologies to everyone who ever interacted with me over the past couple of weeks. I’m…
I love life by the beach. And it looks like I’m gonna be here a little while longer, at a job I love and in a house I love! Last weekend, I was reminded of the joys of beach living with the perfect Sunday: Nali playing at dog beach before I hopped on a bike and cruised…
Mammoth to Omaha. An unlikely turn of travels, from road trip to jet, but grateful for both. A ski weekend with two feet of snow (!!!), Nali playing again in the snow, my badass new work team, a deeper understanding of my new job… Awesome. Exhausted. And excited.
There are some real ups and downs this week, and I’m grateful for them all. A lot of people I love celebrate their birthdays this week—happy birthday!! I put in an offer on a property in Newport Beach, and I’m the first backup. It feels like such a bummer, but it’s okay too. There will be…

I got called out on it today: Friend: maybe do a double this friday? idk you’re the celebrity Here’s what I would have been grateful for had I actually posted on Friday and before the weekend took place: Good humor,…
When you’re so busy starting a new job and already taking time off to travel because of a pre-planned trip(s) so you set up a blog post for feel good friday because you just have to keep up your gratitude lists but literally forget to hit publish. Feel good Tuesday! Here’s me. I started a new…
A week off is a wonderful thing. Reset, recharge, relax. And play all the sports! So grateful.
TK is the magazine terminology for “To Come”. No one knows why it’s a K. It’s used in print drafts when you’re waiting on a detail, like: age, TK. What’s next for me is TK. I am leaving the publishing world behind after a wonderful ten-year tenure, though I hope to still be involved in…
These friends of mine are the real gems in my life. Another friend died last week—though my heartache was for the friend of mine closest to him, not my own—and it brings up all the old feelings of love and loss stemming from JB’s death (9 years ago in April). It was from losing my…
