  • Last night’s late night rambling. It’s

    June 29, 2015December 12, 2018

    Last night’s late night rambling. It’s inspired by a Dustin Hoffman Quote (which I haven’t been able to find online yet) and this verse. It made me laugh a little. Maybe since it’s ironically true.

  • The chances of us all being

    April 10, 2015December 12, 2018

    The chances of us all being über millionaire CEOs of companies are (hate to break it to you) somewhat slim, but you know what’s even cooler. We all are the CEOs of something better, and

    Never underestimate the power of a killer workout playlist. It can make me go from feeling like a tired wimp, to feeling like the Tasmanian Devil, from feeling like Jabba The Hut, to feeling like

  • Some more late night rambling. (Fueled

    February 21, 2015December 12, 2018

    Some more late night rambling. (Fueled by a Mexican food feast that dreams were made of.) Hope it makes someone out there smile. Because life really is crazy, and worth smiling about regularly. Especially after green chile enchiladas.

    November 20, 2014December 12, 2018

    When Oprah and my Woman Crush got together to chat. Of course some gems like this quote had to happen. That I had to document. Now, I just need to somehow find the entire interview.

    Here’s the last painting I did before I packed up Here’s the last painting I did before I packed up my office…and I haven’t touched a brush since. Feels weird, but the break helped get lots of ideas brewin’ now, too. 🎨🧡 Life’s a beach. Embrace the mess and get the tattoo. #goldfishkissart #watercolor #radart

    Well, in life update news, we moved to Michigan. T Well, in life update news, we moved to Michigan. Two days after saying goodbye to Kili, I said bye to beach life, felt like a chapter of life I loved was slammed shut, and all the air and motivation was knocked out of me. Changes like this take time, and the idea of ever being truly settled in is a bit foreign to me. But, you just have to look for the little glimmers in ordinary days (what’s in all these pics), be present, get out and about, and choose joy while also giving those tears permission to flow. Ok, and say hi to every dog I can, while holding onto summer as long as I can, too. But I hear Fall is next level up here. 🧡

So, if you’ve been following me for a while, life’s taken us many places. I feel like I’m part chameleon and part lone wolf by now, and we will see what this new season brings. I have a feeling Lake Michigan and the upper peninsula will be my happy place, so hopefully we’ll make it out there a bunch. Life’s crazy. Wear a helmet and thank goodness for Facebook marketplace. And that I didn’t give away all my cold weather gear.
    Well, I had to say goodbye to my best four-legged Well, I had to say goodbye to my best four-legged friend, then to life at the beach in a matter of a few days. Life’s been heavy, full of random ugly cries, a bit of a blur, and my brain fog is at capacity, all while having one too many tabs open, too.

But I did manage to scribble down some journal thoughts before the move, and wanted to share. I love these things.

I’ll post a bunch of final beach pics and about life in our new location soon. But for now, I’m just taking it one day at a time.

Or in this case, page. Hope they’re somewhat legible. 🌊❤️‍🩹🖊️ #goldfishkisswriting #thoughts
    How do you sum up an incredible life in few slides How do you sum up an incredible life in few slides and words…I can’t. This loss is such a deep hurt, and the love is so pure. Kili pup, I miss you, and my heart is so damn heavy. Run wild, run free, soak up the sun, steal all the pizza, and find all the sticks and tennis balls, my best four legged friend. ❤️‍🩹🐾
