RIP, idea from 2012. RIP, one-word blog post. RIP most of the 80+ draft blog posts since 2012 that have been just sitting here on the backend of this blog, sometimes nothing more than a title to remind me what I thought I wanted to write about. Well, I don’t want to write about these…
How do so many things happen at once? | Feel Good Friday 031618

Perhaps Boring But Awesome: HEX Performance Laundry Detergent
This post is 6 months overdue. I have a new laundry detergent I love. Boring, I know. I’ve long been a Costco laundry detergent buyer—get the free and clear, spend minimal amounts of money, and go. But then HEX sent me a sampler pack of their new eco-friendly, stink-proof laundry detergent six full months ago,…
Smartly EMBA Weekend Round 2 | Feel Good Friday 030918
Business school is coming to an end … my cohort of the Smartly EMBA program (info here) had our final Washington weekend, and it was even better than the first (though came with less existential questions, thank goodness). I LOVE this photo, because we didn’t intentionally plan to be in the EXACT same spots as…

My Place | Feel Good Friday 022318
I don’t feel like I can possibly do justice to the gratitude I have in my heart for last weekend, in Aspen, with my favorite people in the whole world. I wrote this immediately after returning home: Time somehow moves both slower and faster in Aspen. It’s as if you’re flush—with time, with friends, with…
Nerd It Up: Bryan Stevenson
I just finished reading Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson—who has been called America’s Nelson Mandela—after learning from my library committee that he’s coming to speak at Soka University tomorrow night. Tickets are still available here if you’re in OC! Read this book. It’s called a memoir, but it’s so…
All the Loves in My Life | Feel Good Friday 021618
In this week of loooooove, I am so grateful for all of the loves in my life. So many loves! So many third wheels, so many close friends (even weekend ones!), so much amazing family. I’m in Aspen, where I love and am loved by some of the people pictured, but there’s also something special…
Singles Flock | Feel Good Friday 020918
We already knew last weekend was gonna be good, as the Sunday crew traded sand for (some) snow in Mammoth. But the singles flock—the 4 singles on the trip holding it down in the bunkroom and cruisin’ in the singles truck—got to enjoy the sweet, sweet victory of the Eagles in the Super Bowl. What…
