I am on my way to embrace the desert and all she has to offer, with her dark nights and starry skies and bubbly Rio Grande AND 100 DEGREE TEMPS but I digress, I’m celebrating the land of liberty in the land of, well, liberty. And desolation. And heat. But before that! We celebrate this…

But Saturday | Feel Good Friday 062620
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…
Is It Comfy?| Feel Good Friday 061920
Happy Juneteenth. Here’s my text summary: It’s the “ending” day of slavery in the US … after the Civil War and Emancipation Proclamation, Texas ? still didn’t free slaves until June 19 a couple years later so that’s when it’s celebrated. More and more companies are recognizing the day as a way to celebrate Black…
Soul Happy | Feel Good Friday 060520
Just a pure and simple gratitude list, because that’s what we all need right now. Pink Salt canned rosé in so many ways… a Friday afternoon, a river float, a possibility… First Guadalupe River float of the summer. Perfect weather, cold river, cannypack, what a day! My body is inherently good and powerful and for…
What Even Is a Holiday Weekend Anymore? | Feel Good Friday 052920
It’s a weird, weird world we live in right now. With racism and censorship overshadowing government control surrounding Covid, it can be overwhelming to know where to focus my attention, and what to write about. What privilege I enjoy; what discrimination I face all the same. So today, like every Friday, we’ll stick to a…
In Pictures, A | Feel Good Friday 051520
THANK GOODNESS FOR THE OUTSIDE. It’s hot, it’s humid, it’s stormy, it’s clear, who cares, I’m restless and need to be outside! This past week was marked by great outdoor adventures, lots of things I’m grateful for, and some intense career and emotional work that will hopefully lead me to more peace 🙂 Pedernales Falls…
It Has Come to This | Feel Good Friday 041020
DID THIS PAST WEEK LAST 100 YEARS (OF SOLITUDE*) OR IS IT JUST ME? How was it only last Friday that we enjoyed a FrontPortraits photo shoot at the MAC**? Did I watch an entire season of Scandal in just three days? Was it really last week in which I read the books I recommended…
Pretty Normal | Feel Good Friday 032020
IN A TIME THAT IS NOT NORMAL. We are in wild times. And yet, my daily life is pretty normal: walk Nali, work remotely maybe in the backyard, work out, work some more in my beloved home office, play with nali, art … A list of my at-home resources is forthcoming, but I agree with…
FRAMILY | Feel Good Friday 020720
They just feel like home. Y’know when you go home, wherever that is, and there’s just this sigh of relief, like you’re cozy and comfortable and can slip into an old, taken-care-of, unconditionally loved skin? That’s this framily, this group of friends on its third-annual Super Bowl ski weekend in Mammoth. My marriage certificate trio,…
The Last Feel Good Friday of 2019
I am so grateful, for this most trying, amazing, high and low, peak- and valley-filled year. I am grateful for this absolutely ridiculous Christmas week, which saw me bounce from San Antonio to Sonoma to Houston back to Austin in just 6 days… San Antonio generations girls getaway at the gorgeous Hotel Emma in the…
