“You’ve got a swagger you didn’t have before …” one of my football teammates said to me when I showed up to cheer them on. Maybe I do. Despite my frustrations with my achilles—yes, teammate is right, I am ahead of schedule but I am still SO FAR from playing—I am doing SO well. People…
It is gorgeous outside. I am going there as soon as I finish typing this gratitude list. I might make this list shorter than I intended to in order to get there faster. I got to ride my bike! 20 mins, easy peasy, but thrilling: the air on my skin! The wind in my hair!…
Lil Nali gave us quite a scare, so much so that I flew home early from a work conference and spent a bunch of hours in her closet, so many, in fact, that I’m pretty sure I annoyed her and she got up and left her own safe space … whoops. I’m grateful it was…
After an absolutely soul-crushing work week last week, this week has welcomingly slowed down as many of my colleagues are on spring break with their kids.

Whew how ’bout that vulnerability yesterday, huh? Yikes. Positive feedback though, and I’m glad I posted it, even if it elevated my anxiety level. Lattes à la dada … literally this is the greatest thing to come out of my achilles tear surgery. My father delivers a delicious raw milk latte to me every. single.…
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…
This week has been… miserable. But there is too so much to be grateful for 
peep the story show and let’s talk about how we feel about the format… love? Hate? Occasionally ok?
