I’m grateful for a busy week, despite the perception of me as a current lady of leisure … … who is doing the family’s taxes, preparing for a remote car purchase out of state with registration and insurance in another state, planning a bunch of other family stuff, doing a budget—the work really never ends,…
New beginning of what? No one knows! While many single people lament dating, I loved it. It’s just so fun: you never know what will happen next! You never know who you might meet! You never know who you will swipe on, and how that date will go, and if your next great love affair…
We are throwing an engagement party I am VERY EXCITED ABOUT this weekend. It’s going to be fancy and I am excited about every bit of it, not the least of which is celebrating some of our best friends’ engagement. I get to do last minute errands tonight, and set up the house, all of…
It’s truly once-in-a-liftime that an entirely new wine region is introduced to the worldwide industry. The reason I feel even a miniscule part of such a massive wine-world accomplishment is because the ridiculous wine writer I adore of Drinking and Knowing Things fame, who helped me discover Xinomavro and drink cheaper Burgundy, is the guy*…
A gratitude list about the amazing things I love about my husband would be just *too* much for this blog, so I will tell you this: I am grateful that it is SO fun being married. I am grateful that we continue to dream of big lives with so many paths we might travel down.…

Have heard nothing but good things, but from fringe types who are early adopters and probably not heavy, everyday 9-5 users. Put ON the tinfoil hat: very curious about HAVN wear,…
There are friends that are just soul friends. Friends you’d do anything for, time be damned. I was lucky enough to spend just an afternoon with one of those a week ago, a twin flame I hadn’t seen in person in five years, and it was just magic. Fulfilling, busy, and not enough time. Then…
I am grateful for the ability to be comfortable being uncomfortable. For instance, my latest LinkedIn post: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7298488105278287884/ I am also grateful for all the comforts of home: how cozy my house is, how much I love my office, how we have a beautiful dining room table to host dinners and big fluffy couch to…
Happy Valentine’s Day. I love love. I love celebrating love. I do not love Valentine’s Day, but we are having friends over for dinner tonight to celebrate their engagement, so I am thrilled to be celebrating love on this love day! I am coming up on a year married to the love of my life,…
