I posted a Feel Good Friday photo collage on instagram (here). In it, I hashtagged myself as an elephant seal. So naturally, at work, in my boss’ office, I had to demonstrate how I felt this way. We even match. Nonetheless, I am grateful for the wedding weekend last weekend where we drove past this…

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…
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…
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…
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…
There are some real ups and downs this week, and I’m grateful for them all. A lot of people I love celebrate their birthdays this week—happy birthday!! I put in an offer on a property in Newport Beach, and I’m the first backup. It feels like such a bummer, but it’s okay too. There will be…
