Hello from Santorini, where the heatwave across Greece has finally broken and we’ve fallen down the rabbit hole into Instagram worthy views at literally every turn. It’s even better in real life with the smells, tastes, feeling of warm wind on skin, and air conditioning that is set to 27 Celsius and still requires me to sleep naked. I’ll be writing up the full trip later, but for now let’s catch…
and a few things worth wanting (scroll down for a gift guide) In case you’re catching up after not reading for awhile, I’m on a break from Twitter and using this blog as a place to share more of my day-to-day life. You can also follow me on Goodreads and see the combination of philosophy and smut I consume voraciously. My weight-loss journey continues, and I reached a really important milestone:…
Lately, I feel like I am unlearning how I use the Internet. This weekend I deleted all my posts on X (fka Twitter) and removed the app from my phone. This isn’t the first time I’ve attempted a cleanse of this particular channel and I can’t guarantee I won’t be back (though I have managed to stay off Facebook for nearly 2 years now). As the place where I have my largest following, it’s the most…
This is a cross-post from my Substack Little Drops of Happiness go there to get the full post with all the pictures, and subscribe there to get notified about new posts by email. It s been about 7 months since my last post and life has picked up a new faster cadence. This change sits at the confluence of waning grief, renewed enthusiasm for being out in the world, memories of the pandemic starting…
Summer is winding down, kids are going back to school, and we’ve reached the point of the year where I don’t have to use central AC. I love summer but it has been HOT, and I’m ready to for the short window of “autumn” that usually turns to frosty mornings after just a few weeks here in Colorado. As I type this in a sundress on the patio, under the dappled late afternoon light of my redbud tree,…
Hello from Telluride, Colorado — possibly one of the most beautiful places on Earth. August is my favorite month! I’m here with my cofounder Jonathan to celebrate 2 years of our startup (8/18) and my husband Kevin to celebrate 16 years of marriage (8/25). They’re off driving the Lamborghini on the Million Dollar Highway this morning as I write this. It’s been an exciting, tumultuous, fascinating…
I’m absolutely thrilled to have a garden of my own, and to get to dig around in the dirt for as long as I want without anyone telling me to come inside. Some kids become adults and buy all the candy they wish they’d had growing up, but for me it’s all about getting to refine my house (as workshop instead of museum) and land. I’m so passionate about this project, that I cut my New York visit a day…
Last week, Kevin and I participated in our first ever car rally with Mike Ward Automotive for their annual autumn leaves driving event in the Rockies. I feel so fortunate to join this awesome community. We enjoyed some awe-inspiring drives with stops in mountain towns including Berthoud Pass, Independence Pass, Steamboat Springs, Aspen, and Vail. There’s a lot going on in the world, and I’m…
What a lovely break I’ve enjoyed from writing for the eyes of others. Thank you for the space. This morning I’m enjoying a break from the heat wave we’ve been having here in Denver, with temperatures down in the mid 50s. The dogs love it, and so do I! Investing My most active investment, my own startup Firstparty, celebrated the milestone of getting its first paying customer over the summer and we…
Sometimes y all get too damn serious let s play! We spent the past week and a half in Bozeman, Montana supporting dear friends as they make a major life move to buy a homestead there. You can see Emo and Taco loved it! Checking in on 2022 Goals I added a couple new coaching clients while on the trip and have achieved my 2022 goal of billing $10K/month for that business. Rather than fast forwarding…
