People are amazing. My best friend surprised me last week, driving in from out of town with the fixins for venison chili, a bottle of special pinot, and (what I thought was) the coup de grâce: a hilarious box of letters and pictures from our childhood through college, complete with countless mentions of boys we…
There were many ways I saw this year ending: me having broken in my badass new skis over Christmas in Park City, me booking a last-minute tip to Tahoe or Mammoth to capitalize on the insane 10-foot dumps of snow northern Cal has received, me taking a silly Taos-Santa Fe trip on a semi-PJ, even…
Friendsgiving and familygiving. Happy turkeys and fancy wines. Nali snuggles and baby nephew snuggles. Starbucks family Thanksgiving and a failed yoga class done at home. A humid, rainy night out and cold days. There’s a ton to be grateful for right now! My family is trying to treat this Thanksgiving in Austin like a bit…
Before we dig in, my very first in-person art show starts tomorrow!! Click here for some of the work, and more details on the studio tour/art crawl. Not even apologizing anymore for my erratic gratitude post schedule. I am so grateful for who I am. For who I’ve chosen to have in my life. For…
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…
Y’all there’s too much gratitude for one post! For one week. For one helluva week. It all began with setting up for the baby shower, which honestly was almost as fun as the shower itself as my mom, aunt, and I, with some help from my dad, decorated and tied favors and hung diapers and…
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…
