YOLO Weekend was awesome, confusing, and gratifying. I also have to confess that the skiing in Big Bear was phenomenal—20″ of powder will do that—and I loved skiing with the crew I was with, on the super-fun untracked wooded bowl we found off the backside of a run. Nonetheless, I might be pulling back on…
It’s a stupid saying, but it’s a pretty fun way to live your life for a little while … YOLO! (This year’s yolo is WAY better than last year’s …)
Natty, I hope you’re LOLing!! New Year’s weekend in Tahoe was, as expected, awesome. I love my fifth-wheel fam … er, uh, looks like there are lots of wheels in this photo! 2017 is gonna be good. A hot topic of conversation (ok, maybe it was just me being fascinated) was the difference between Tetraplegia…
Clarity. In recent conversations with my loving if at times too-psychologically-attuned family, they suggested I lack clarity around what I want: in my career, in my geography, in my mate. I disagreed, obviously, but have to wonder in a 3 v 1 situation if there isn’t some truth to what they’re saying? I’ve been trying…
You guys, I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list—of places I went this past year. Here’s a list: Hawaii, Tahoe, Aspen, Mammoth, Omaha, Austin (Feb, April, Dec), Fresno, Rae Lakes/Kings Canyon, Asheville, Pebble Beach/Paso Robles/Santa Ynez, Portland, Denver & Aspen, Joshua Tree, a few camping weekends in there, Houston, Tahoe again for New…
YOU GUYS. I have so many good blog posts just waiting to be … written. Whoever talks about the holidays being a more laid-back time at work never worked for a company trying to meet integration deadlines the first week of 2017. I’m as busy as ever with work, plus trying to get in that…
This is a mashup of how I feel today. Vulnerable, a little sad, a little restless. A lot grateful for friendships. But a whole lot of that learning to be a friend thing—always learning. Most of my learnings of late have come from the sharing part of friendship, the part where I need someone’s help or…
I’m gonna brag here for a minute. Not even humblebrag, just straight up brag. Y’all, my family is awesome. Not just my mama, dad, and bro (happy 30th!!), but my entire extended family of aunts and uncles, cousins, cousin/brother (NOT a weird TX thing), cousins-in-law, cousin’s girlfriend, and baby cousins!! Everyone gets along so well…
This is funny: click to open the #GivingTuesday Circular Following the shopping frenzies of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a way of reminding consumers to give back after days of shopping. The super creative circular above mocks the traditional sales flyers while showcasing the pre-packaged donations you can make,…
I’m having a hard time deciding what I’m most thankful for this year. An abundance of blessings is perhaps the most I could be grateful for, but let’s also acknowledge that I make the choice to be grateful for the wonderful–and not so–things in my life. Perhaps that’s what I’m most grateful for, the awareness…
