Horses. I love horses. I love to ride but don’t get much of a chance to out here in SoCal. Last weekend in Asheville, we only went on a trail ride and walked and trotted, but it’s still wonderful to be around horses. I have a terrible sense of smell in general, but I LOVE…
This time of year for most of my adolescence, I headed to summer camp. Camp Olympia was, and still is, the most magical place on earth. Camp was a place I thrived, where I felt happiest, safest, most comfortable in my own skin. Camp was where I most fully learned to embrace who I am,…
These are my new computer glasses. I LURVE them. I have never worn glasses in my life, but after reading about how horrible working at a computer all day is for your eyeballs, I felt compelled to save my perfect eyesight with a little blue-light-filtering, magnifying, glare-reducing pair of totally hipster computer glasses. felixgray.com, $95.…
Y’all. Life is crazy and busy and [too] full and stressful and wonderful. I’m so grateful for everything—for the chance to completely escape into the wilderness, to climb thousands on thousands of feet, through rain, hail, sleet, snow, and sunshine, to breathe in the fresh, deep, alpine air, to celebrate love and marriage with my…

Posting on Instagram, I accidentally typed #ilivemyjob instead of #ilovemyjob. Right now, both are true. I work for a company that is acquiring another company, doubling us in size, including number of employees, revenue, locations, clients, everything. It’s exciting, awesome, and stressful. I am proud. I am stressed. I am learning so. damn. much. It’s the coolest…
I am so grateful for this. For my house on the beach, for my amazing patio, for finding a bunch of beach glass one of my first mornings revisiting the beach I used to call home and am thrilled to walk barefoot along daily once again. This weekend will be full of projects, of building…
And now I remodel it. To a week of work on my new house, thankgodformama, my dad came in to help, and I’m so happy.
I took a last-minute business trip to Fresno, California earlier this week. It was an awesome, informative, jam-packed trip, made all the more fun by a constant game of “Where am I now?” with my own personal poor (wo)man’s JJ Watt*, who once lived in Fresno (mine, not JJ). He answered near-constant texts not only…
I mention the mama a lot on this blog, and not only because she’s been a constant reader since ::gasp:: 2007!, but mainly because she’s been a constant supporter of this blogger since 1984. My mom is a business partner, co-investor, best friend, champion, teacher, and provider. She has the most integrity of any person I have…
