Friendsgiving and familygiving. Happy turkeys and fancy wines. Nali snuggles and baby nephew snuggles. Starbucks family Thanksgiving and a failed yoga class done at home. A humid, rainy night out and cold days. There’s a ton to be grateful for right now! My family is trying to treat this Thanksgiving in Austin like a bit…
I love a stormy beach—the rain, thunder, and weather with crashing waves is just as gorgeous as a 70-and-sunny blue-sky day, in its own way. Particularly in contrast. Fitting, then, that as I reflect on the past week as I compose this gratitude list, we’re sitting at a stormy beach in Texas. First, it should…
This is one of the hardest gratitude lists I’ve had to write because I just had to leave Nali at the emergency dog hospital for pancreatitis and I am grateful that it’s not worse and I am grateful that she’s gonna be fine and all that but really I am just a damn wreck and…
I’m having a hard time deciding what I’m most thankful for this year. An abundance of blessings is perhaps the most I could be grateful for, but let’s also acknowledge that I make the choice to be grateful for the wonderful–and not so–things in my life. Perhaps that’s what I’m most grateful for, the awareness…
Cuz you most definitely need a little om in your life before/after all that yum. Check out donation yoga all over O.C. at one of their ten CorePower locations, list here. Say you’re in Austin, they got you too. Houston, where I’ll be, has no CorePowers. I’ll be looking for a class (and update here…
Here’s the thing: I am grateful for so much. So much! My life is full of amazing people (my fam! my friends!), things, simple pleasures. But on a day to day basis, there is one thing I simply cannot express enough gratitude for: my dog. Denali is the awesomest. Sorry, not sorry, here’s a damn slideshow.
Feel Good Friday is a gratitude list I write each week to express my appreciation for all of the things that made me feel good or that I’m grateful for all week. Join me and leave your Feel Goods in the comments! Playoffs Santa Barbara The Vermonster (no pressure) What is this?! Seriously, sunrise. Amazing.…
Yeah, that’s a lot, but it’s also the exact number of Feel Good Friday posts I’ve published since launching the idea September 23, 2011. I sent this list through the random.org list randomizer three times so that no thing would have more weight than another. Happy Thanksgiving, may you celebrate all that you are thankful…
I try to practice gratitude every day, and at least every week with Feel Good Fridays (did you know I’ve been doing them for over a year?!), but those are usually more timely. It’s fun to take a once-a-year look at my life and blessings, and sometimes find things even I forget to be thankful…
