I hit a breaking point today and thank god for yin yoga at BFree. I’m ambitious and a high performer, a leader and someone who can thrive under pressure. But those characteristics are when I am in a state of on. I am truly, deeply an introvert. I need time by myself, I need time…
Celebrating my dad, the best dad, at Treaty Oak was a perfect Sunday! Sushi happy hour… Getting to know friends better. Letting people love me for who I am. For my dichotomies. As my champions. Embracing too much rejection. Playing Level 3 volleyball. Vanushing. Biking. Nali has sarcoma. It’s old lady cancer and there’s nothing…
So last night, stone cold sober, I shredded some cheese for my steak nachos and I remember thinking it wasn’t as much cheese as I thought it would be, but I cooked them, turned off the kitchen light, ate my nachos and watched my shows… This morning I walk into the kitchen following a TRAIL…
It was but a short week, yet this week has brought me so. many. many. opportunities to practice grace. Yes, you can laugh. But it has! Grace for others, for a situation, for a frustration point … all of which translate back to me, obviously. Grace to myself for how I’m handling something, what it’s…

When I moved away from Austin, it was noticeable when the airport that felt like home changed: first to Aspen, then to John Wayne. And even when I moved back, it took a bit for ABIA to feel like home. But now it does, again. Still, grateful for my amazing trip to OC to celebrate…
Laboring is hard. Labor Day weekend is not hard. Especially not when you have a Permanent Adult Kiddie Cowgirl Pool with a rosé floatie and temps in the 100s. AND you get a last-minute invite on a boat, so that’s a fabulous Saturday. AND THEN your childhood bestie comes into town for adult kiddie pool…
PELOTON!!! That is what I am most grateful for this week. I have ridden it every day since we got it! … made much better by sharing the bike with the neighbros, and the group in Cali cheering me on, working out with me, and sending hilarious group texts. I am tired, it’s been a…
Yesterday, Friday, of the Feel Good variety, was a whirlwind! A super exciting, Lyss is confident and happy and on her game again, whirlwind. The whole week was busy, starting with fun family time last weekend up through a trip to the family homestead in small-town Texas and a visit to San Antonio. I’m super…
