I love a stormy beach—the rain, thunder, and weather with crashing waves is just as gorgeous as a 70-and-sunny blue-sky day, in its own way. Particularly in contrast. Fitting, then, that as I reflect on the past week as I compose this gratitude list, we’re sitting at a stormy beach in Texas. First, it should…
2020 was hard for me in ways completely unrelated to the global pandemic we all faced. In fact, if anything the pandemic helped me—gave me space and time to process the traumas in my life that came with the first two months of 2020. The first trauma was a dramatic shift in my career; an…
37 weeks?? How is that for real, and how is much of the country/globe going back into lockdown?

WHAT A WEEK. Support Yo Friends (or my friends) HeartSupport’s new veteran initiative Workout I said I was deleting this section, but then Power Athlete published a stellar post on simple training rules. And then I hit a workout at very cool new gym Hit Athletic in Austin! It won’t be my all-time gym, but…
My dad clipped an article out of the newspaper and brought it over to my house when Cowboy Pools launched during the early months of the pandemic this year. A few months later, they released the Cowgirl Pool, the polyurethane version with slightly sloped sides (way more comfy for sitting), and I had my pool…
