Post-It Phtuesday

This is a ridiculous new post series of business advice I’m learning and relearning and relearning and relearning every day. I led a meeting today that I was very, very prepared for—great deck, great ideas, great contributions from my team. And it gave me this badass “don’t give a fuck” attitude about the team that…

Articles of Clothing | Feel Good Friday 061121

So last night, stone cold sober, I shredded some cheese for my steak nachos and I remember thinking it wasn’t as much cheese as I thought it would be, but I cooked them, turned off the kitchen light, ate my nachos and watched my shows… This morning I walk into the kitchen following a TRAIL…

Grace, or is it Patience? | Feel Good Friday 060421

It was but a short week, yet this week has brought me so. many. many. opportunities to practice grace. Yes, you can laugh. But it has! Grace for others, for a situation, for a frustration point … all of which translate back to me, obviously. Grace to myself for how I’m handling something, what it’s…

My Personal Holiday: Today is National Wine Day

After all, it’s possible I singlehandedly keep some wineries in business … Last year, I ran down some wine recommendations in this post for stocking up across the nation. Today, we focus on Austin and natural wine. What is natural wine? Low intervention, often but not always organic and/or biodynamically farmed, often but not always…

Backyard Gratitude List | Feel Good Friday 052121

It’s a rainy, lovely Saturday morning. I have things to do, but I have the luxury of moving slowly, unhurried. It’s great. Grateful for: Hammock. I love a hammock. Anywhere. But in my backyard?! Heaven. Also Heaven? My parents’ porch. I love that place. I especially love it with my extended family, the Teti fam…

Am I Going to Facebook Jail? | Checklist 57

I dipped a toe in the counter-opinion post waters of facebook, and did not get sent to facebook jail (yet). Why did I feel so compelled to speak out? Censorship. I’ve heard the complaints that big tech (social media) is controlling the narrative, but I didn’t want to believe it—until my nurse practitioner aka medical…

Pura Vida | Feel Good Friday 050721

Before you go to Costa Rica, you might be a bit cynical like me, thinking pura vida is a marketing slogan or a thing tourists pick up. But it’s not. Somehow those two words actually, adequately represent the embodiment of a country’s ethos. You can use it for hello, goodbye, ok, thank you, you’re welcome,…
