The purpose of existence is to exist. It is too fantastic to have a meaning. From Sadhguru. Today, that’s what I’m grateful for. A fantastic existence. (If you must know: also grateful for mom’s visit, GoT, nali, failed vb, bike stop-bys, yolo, dancing, a hot vacation renter, gas firepit, rosé, dog sitting, crash and dash,…

“We have to take a selfie!” | Feel Good Friday 071417
… says Mama last night, at a Paso Robles wine tasting she managed to find and fly in for—which was, of course, fabulous. Great venue, really, really good wines, lots of fun with the mama. The selfie was silly (thanks for the free sunnies!) but it encapsulates something I am so grateful for: curiosity. My…
PATIO | Feel Good Friday 062317 (+ more Rosé, naturally)
It’s summer, and there is nothing I love more right now that hanging out on my patio (rosé in hand, probably). Last weekend, the patio hosted a super-fun graduation party on Saturday. We played Sunday volleyball. Then, post-vb we ordered Thai food and spent the next several hours just lounging around. It was perfect. The…
The River | Feel Good Friday 061617
There’s a distinctly steamy, balmy, summery quality to summer nights at the lake. As far as I can tell, it doesn’t matter what lake or river, if you’ve got a dock and some water, there will be cicadas chirping quietly, water lapping softly, laughter punctuating the peace in welcome staccatos. Perhaps there’s a breeze that…
Activities | Feel Good Friday 060917
VB, FB, bike rides, yoga, Chalk, catch-ups, boy bonding with Nali pup—it was a great week of activities. Now I’m headed to the river! The river! Grateful for fun already had and fun anticipated … Also. I was feeling insecure about any number things—because I’m a girl, mostly—last night, so much so that I literally…
San Diego | Feel Good Friday 060217
Remember my grand plans for Memorial Day Weekend—staycation? I made it to San Diego. That was it. But it was perfect. The holiday weekend days stretched long and luxurious. I love my new Acoustic Ales hat—and their beers are amazing, visit the brewery if you’re in SD—and I’m so grateful for a(nother) friend with whom…
Home Sweet Home | Feel Good Friday 050517
“Are you proud of yourself?” my mom asked me, on my patio, earlier this week. “Yeah!” I replied, happily. “I am.” Work has been crazy, but I am proud of the work I do. Hosting brunch and fire pit nights and rose all day fests keeps my crazy busy, but I am proud of my…
In Search of That Clarity | Feel Good Friday 042117
It’s almost 5 months into 2017, a year I ambitiously declared the year of clarity and then set to work on while also crossing all my fingers and toes hoping it would come true … this week, a few things crystallized. I’m transitioning from my awesome, badass job that I love to an entirely new-and-different…
Spontaneity | Feel Good Friday 041417
Bike rides. Sabroso. Baewatch. Mozambique. Sweet potato eggplant lasagna. x2. BROga. How to Break Up With Your Girlfriend. OCMag’s Best Restaurants event. Guys We F*cked podcast. This has been a really good week of just going with the flow. Not pushing the river. Embracing spontaneity without going completely YOLO.
Photo Representation | Feel Good Friday 040717
OK. So many things are encompassed by these four photos. I had an amazing opportunity to network with some really accomplished people this week, but the coolest part about it was that no one was too cool for school—every one of these highly successfully people was down to earth and willing to talk about anything.…
