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…
Gratitude List | Feel Good Friday 061220
“You look happy,” said one of my best friends. You know what? Despite feeling like everything is ‘wrong’ and wild and unsatisfying in my life, I am.
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…
Turns Out There’s Much to Be Grateful For | Feel Good Friday 050820
I am restless. I’ve seen memes saying that it’s a very American thing to be bored by being under quarantine this long … is it? Or is it a very American thing to continuously question authority and the efficacy of our government’s policies? I’d like to think it’s the latter. But who really knows what’s…
Playin’ with new stuff | Feel Good Friday 050120
Today marks a confusing technical end to Austin’s “shelter in place” as decreed by the governor, not the mayor. Like many people in Austin, I don’t think much will change for me, yet. Truth be told, I’m a bit sad to give up the amount of free time I have now to play with new…
My Quarantine Low Point | Feel Good Friday 042420
Tuesday, my internet went out. For all my technical knowledge I could do nothing except be on hold—chat and phone, through three devices—with customer service for hours. Once I had the tech scheduled for the next day, I suddenly, irrevocably, absolutely could NOT anymore. I could not work, I could not use my hot spot,…
