TODAY we skied in Taos, New Mexico, and it was awesome. I finished my work day and we grabbed a few hours on the mountain, where we got sunshine and then dumped on – 3+ inches in less than half an hour! Tomorrow is going to be epic. Making the 12+ hour drive, kinda overnight,…
Because I visited three states in as many days last weekend and by noon tomorrow I will be in a fourth, we’re doing yet another feel good whatever day. But I am SO grateful I got to celebrate two wonderful, amazing couples at two weddings this past weekend. I’ve been thinking a lot about weddings,…
Out of nowhere, I tore my plantar fascia playing football–pushing off the line of scrimmage–last Wednesday. I felt a pop in the arch of my foot, and knew something was torn but didn’t even know you COULD tear a plantar fascia, particularly not one that gave you no warning and previously did not have pain.…
020323: is losing your voice always a metaphor for … losing your voice? Did writing about being even a tiny bit intimidated bring this on? Did I silence MYSELF? Or is it just recirculated airplane air, a virus going around, a diminished immune system from disrupted routines? Coming back from the leadership offsite, I was…
Bob, Zimbobwae, Byobi … the weird lil corgi army crawler guy continues to be simultaneously a complete and utter dickhead (to strangers, people walking by, and everyone who has to hear him on my conference calls) and a source of endless joy, love, and humor (especially at night, when it’s dark, and he can’t see…
Remember when this blog was Life in Austin & Aspen? I’m in Aspen again today! This place is so full of magic and wonder, and yet, so different than it was before. The skiing though? As epic as ever. 2023 is off to a fabulous start. The fancy as f@$k! new year’s eve party was…
The most important. More than water, food, shelter, we humans need love. AND I HAVE IT. And I want to keep it. And grow it. I want to love bigger and harder and more and more openly! Last year was incredibly BRIGHT. 2022 was challenging but somehow not, as it opened my heart to SO…
This week I have been called both a bulldog and a karen, with basically the same meaning but obviously very different connotations. I just call it tenacity, and it’s a part of my personality that I very much like—it has set me up for success in an overall corporate world that still values masculine-style aggression,…
!Y feliz cumpleanos a mi amiga de la aventura! My last Mexico trip of 2022 brought me to the beautiful if touristy Cabo San Lucas, Mexico … where I got to swim with schools of fish and snorkel with a sea lion! I ate on of the best meals of my life at Manta, which…
My family is so effing awesome. There are 21 of us, plus my Handsome Humanitarian Warrior’s 3, in Austin for this holiday and I couldn’t be happier. I am so grateful for my cousins. They are all incredible humans. It turns out I haven’t seen some of them in over three years and while we’ve…
