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…
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…
Is it any wonder why all I want to do when I come home to Austin is hang out at my parents’ house? Raw milk lattes all day followed by great wine, food, and laughs all night. So grateful for this place I can call home, with parents I love.
I love the earth. I love being outside. I love mountains, oceans, lakes, trees, grass … I am so grateful for the earth. #happyearthday
Pieces of my soul. That’s what I’m grateful for this week. Monday marked 9 years since my best friend was killed. It seems so long ago, yet so recent. The feeling of loss fades, but will always be present—because he is, and has, a piece of my soul. Appropriately, I celebrated his birthday and the anniversary of his…
The best therapy. Banging heavy weights. Snatch, deadlift, power clean. Squat, lunge, press. New job has me doing this less, and I didn’t know how much I needed it until I wasn’t doing it. And I got grouchy. REAL grouchy. Apologies to everyone who ever interacted with me over the past couple of weeks. I’m…
I love life by the beach. And it looks like I’m gonna be here a little while longer, at a job I love and in a house I love! Last weekend, I was reminded of the joys of beach living with the perfect Sunday: Nali playing at dog beach before I hopped on a bike and cruised…
Mammoth to Omaha. An unlikely turn of travels, from road trip to jet, but grateful for both. A ski weekend with two feet of snow (!!!), Nali playing again in the snow, my badass new work team, a deeper understanding of my new job… Awesome. Exhausted. And excited.
