FAVORITE THINGS | Feel Good Friday 032621
My new go-to question for men on dating apps is “what’s you favorite thing about this week?” … I can’t say it’s more or less successful than any other opener, but to me it’s a pretty easy question because you can describe something that has already happened OR something that is going to happen ……
Good Failing | Feel Good Friday 031921
Maybe seven years ago, I wrote a blog post about failing for a crossfit gym. Here is the cliffs notes version: one of the best things I think powerlifting teaches is how to fail: How to safely fail – bailing out of a squat or lift How to rally from a fail – just because…
Champions | Feel Good Friday 031221
Y’all. First off, friends that are your champions are the best. This week, in no particular order: Bromance. Part of his championing is definitely not reading this blog so he will never know the nice things I’m about to say but I am just so unbelievably grateful that no matter what, there is a person…
Perfect | Feel Good Friday 030521
The west Texas elopment was perfect. Every breakfast at Aster Marfa was perfect. Meeting Rice alum Roberto leading us to Garza Marfa for his Mimi y Roberto pottery was perfect. The family Sunday celebration brunch-into-hangout was also perfect. Sunday night cheese-and-wine catchup was perfect. My workouts this week were perfect. I hit 4 lifting days,…
Pandy Blizzy | Feel Good Friday 021921
It snowed. And stuck. In Austin, Texas. I have more to say, but today, I’m grateful for community. Family, friends, neighbors, strangers, COMMUNITY. Ices, dinners, randos, stranded motorists. Austin has never felt more like home. Also, Nali remembers CO.
Sharing Joys | Feel Good Friday 012221
Like I wrote last week, it’s been incredible to share my friends’ joys. A couple I love—and set up :::pats self on back:::—got married! And it was storybook perfect, and I’m only happy jealous I didn’t get to be there for it. My trip to the mountains was, indeed, good for my soul. But of…
I Can’t Even Describe | Feel Good Friday (Saturday) 121120
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…
Life in … Retrospective | A Gratitude Post
2020 was hard for me in ways completely unrelated to the global pandemic we all faced. In fact, if anything the pandemic helped me—gave me space and time to process the traumas in my life that came with the first two months of 2020. The first trauma was a dramatic shift in my career; an…
Labor (Day) and (Work) | Feel Good Friday 091120
Laboring is hard. Labor Day weekend is not hard. Especially not when you have a Permanent Adult Kiddie Cowgirl Pool with a rosé floatie and temps in the 100s. AND you get a last-minute invite on a boat, so that’s a fabulous Saturday. AND THEN your childhood bestie comes into town for adult kiddie pool…
