Consume aaaaall, or, at least some of The Media

Leaving aside commentary on mainstream media which I can no longer defend despite having been part of the institution—in magazines and startup websites, at least—let’s focus on what, ahem, independent* media I have been consuming as a Xennial (they’re not really talking about us anymore, are they? sigh, loss of special snowflake identity).

Wedding Whirlwind | Feel Good Wednesday 030823

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,…

Again

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.…

THE BEST | Feel Good Friday 021723

The Super Bowl Ski Weekend trip is THE BEST. Finally getting my achilles + new skis + new boots dialed is THE BEST. Getting to see baby Byobi from doggie boot camp is THE BEST. Bob is gonna be THE BEST. Jessica at Blue Moon K9 is THE BEST. Working hard and loving my job…

Hot Girl Walk in Senita

I believe in the hot girl walk. The focus-on-yourself, reflect-in-gratitude, low-impact cardio walk. And there is no place better than Town Lake (Lady Bird Lake) winding through the center of Austin, full of people and dogs to watch. I haven’t ever done a group one though! Enter my fave athletic wear brand: Senita. I’m leading…
