That is, I would be grateful for it if I had it. This week has been insane, incredible, intense. Emotional to say the least. And as I turned to my yoga—where I completely lost my shit on the mat one day which I suppose is as good a place as any to lose your mind…
Grateful for this FULL, crazy life. Grateful for friends and family and therapy and Nali running around and a new striped sweater and my crazy employee whatsapping me while I’m at a music festival and Mostly grateful for GEORGE STRAIT. But also cowboy pool and Xian Noodles happy hour and Frankly strawberry lemonade vodka and…
This was my third trip to Chicago, but the first where I felt like I really got to wander and get the vibe of the city so many people love. And I get it, Chi-lovers: the city is sporty, authentic, energetic without being frenetic, outdoorsy, inventive, and just nice. We stayed in the Gold Coast…
I HAVE A NEPHEW’S BIRTHDAY TO CELEBRATE! Spent the weekend in Chicago celebrating a special guy’s birthday with a couple of friends who made my own very special. My 37th birthday felt like it went on for two weeks—celebrated by and with so many friends new and old. Feeling good about my 38 list. Grateful…

From a colleague meetup to making margaritas to a sun-drenched backyard hang with one of my closest friends, loving seeing her life with her two sons, to a glass of wine on the porch with some parents and allll the deep dish pizza, from Wrigley Field and awesome seats to walking and wandering to incredible…
Per usual as is my brain’s great irony, the title of this post was written BEFORE I forgot to publish it all weekend … it’s a lot to keep up with a weekly gratitude list for almost a decade. But I love it, and it’s important to me, and it’s definitely made my life better…
