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…
To try to put into words what it feels like to be welcomed into a whole other family, as part of it, as if I was never not, is impossible. My brother, his fiancee, and I are a bit of a family unit already, and going to Rio and being welcomed into her family as…
Beach AND Mountains?! How have I not been here before? I could not be more grateful to be in Brazil right now with my brother and Teti, and I’ll share Rio pics next week, as this week there’s some reflecting to look back over and be grateful for… Piracanjuba Brazilian whey protein drink—I am not…
I love a stormy beach—the rain, thunder, and weather with crashing waves is just as gorgeous as a 70-and-sunny blue-sky day, in its own way. Particularly in contrast. Fitting, then, that as I reflect on the past week as I compose this gratitude list, we’re sitting at a stormy beach in Texas. First, it should…

Patio party with my parents, onesie board game night, many Oakmont meals—I’m making it my local dangit!, shameless self-promotion of the podcast, and football Sunday amped…

Stress bake and watch debates Thursday. It’s a good lil week. Work is good. Work is really, really good. I love my team, I love the work. How cool is that?! Tomorrow…
It’s that ridiculous time of year in Austin where you WANT it to be fall and it’s just not … you might get some cool mornings, but then we’re back up in the high 90s in the middle of the day. Nonetheless, I’m making pumpkin centerpieces to keep it fall in my house, while updating…
… when the work groove is back-to-back meetings from 7am to 4pm, and then you need to actually DO work after that. But, it’s all fun and I am very grateful. My weeks sure do look different right now, though, as weekdays are basically just work, workout, sleep, do it again. It does make the…
