2013 Check List
OK, 2012 is a wrap. It was a good year for reflection and growth, but I’m happy to have a (mostly) clean slate.
Here’s my 2013 Check List (AKA, my resolutions)
Learn to use Illustrator so I can fully utilize my damn Techshop subscription. That laser cutter isn’t going to design things itself, and I want to be able to make amazing things without D’s help.
Once I get the...

2012, Nailed It
Despite how challenging 2012 was, I ended up on top.
While this year wasn’t the most carefree or fun, I consider it to be a necessarily step in this transformative time that will continue to lead to great things. Because I can’t stand being stagnant, I owned up to every challenge I had against me and pushed myself to be better.
What was everything, you ask? Well allow me to...

Days 21-30 - 30 Days Of Gratitude
Oops. I failed again. Here’s my thankfulness wrap up!
Day 21 - Thankful I live far away from bombs and rockets.
Day 22 - Thankful I found my group of Jews - the ones who are both pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli & anti-war. Doing things the right way. Habonim Dror & Hashomer Hatzair.
Day 23 - Thankful for great neighbors, great wine and my awkward family. Oh, and vegetarian...

Days 17-20 - 30 Days Of Gratitude
Day 17 - thankful for a loving and caring mom. Thanks to her, I know what unconditional love is. She’s always there, no matter whether we have our tiffs or our different world views.
Day 18 - thankful for an inspiring community of dreamers, thinkers and doers.
Day 19 - thankful for my view and my “executive office,” aka my living room. I adore looking out onto San Francisco...
Day 16 - 30 Days of Gratitude
Today, I am SUPER thankful I got to work from home, bundled in my covers and covered with kitties on this cold, rainy day.

Day 15 - 30 Days of Gratitude
Thankful for the amazing ladies in my life. I wanted to be surrounded by talented, creative funny people so that I would routinely be inspired. So far it’s working.

Days 7-14 - 30 Days Of Gratitude
Um, an entire week went by and I didn’t give thanks on here. Oops. Here’s the rundown:
Day 7: THANK YOU, BABY JESUS! The Dems won. I am SO THANKFUL.
Day 8: Yup, still thankful that Mitt isn’t president. SRSLY THANKS YOU GUYS.
Day 9: OMG and I’m SUPER thankful all the swing stages swung to the Dem side… THANK YOU!
Day 10: Really feeling thankful for Virgin...
Day 6 - 30 Days of Gratitude
Today I’m thankful I grew up in Liberal California. Seriously, it could have been horrible. I could have grown up in Alabama! Or Texas and would have had to argue my case over and over and over in a losing battle! Shudder.
And specifically on today, Election Day, I’m thankful to be able to isolate myself from idiots on the other side of the political spectrum when I can’t take...

Day 5 - 30 Days of Gratitude
Today I am thankful for technology!
I’m going through a grip of business cards I collected from a trade show conference in Toronto last week. The task? Grab all of the information and send out a thank you email with a code on it. Totally fine… except I have well over 100 to deal with, and the thought of manually inputting all of that info into an Excel doc sounds like my idea of...

Days 3 & 4 - 30 Days of Gratitude
I’m thankful I inherited my mom’s adventurous palate. If it weren’t for her I likely wouldn’t have been interested in the Spicy Tibetan noodles I devoured, the soft and sweet and spicy chai I drank, the savory Japanese pub food I tried, or the plantain, chickpea curry and mango breakfast taco I inhaled over the last two days.
I’m even more thankful I’ve been...
Day 2 - 30 Days of Gratitude
Today I’m thankful for my amazing boyfriend who always keeps me coming back for more. Although admittedly it took a little bit of coaxing due to our insane schedules, he is coming to visit me on my NYC trip while I’m away for two weeks on business despite the aftermath of Super Storm Sandy. I can’t wait to see him! It is both an honor and a pleasure to be so attracted to someone....

Day 1 - 30 Days of Gratitude
Today I give thanks for my awesome job and all of the opportunities it affords.
I promised myself I would never have a boring job again after being a file monkey at UCSF, and so far I’ve stayed true to my word. GoAnimate is more than “not boring,” though. It’s fun. Stimulating. Interesting. It’s the kind of job that allows space for me to grow intellectually, to be...

Goooooaaaaaal!
A little while ago, I posted about growing out my nails. Trivial compared to say, our impending war with Iran, or the fact that things like this actually happen to good people (I’ll get to that other thing another time). Even knowing my story is more or less unimportant in the scheme of things, self-mastery is kind of a new thing for me so I still think it’s kind of cool.
Along the...

Updated Life List
I’m old. Life’s short. Here’re some things I want to do.
Get into a position where I can work from anywhere, so I can live abroad.
Move to another country - probably Australia - within the next four years.
Buy and use an around-the-world ticket to travel for an entire year.
Save enough money every year to put towards retirement and a vacation.
Produce yoga and vegetarian...

Surprise! A Vegas-Style Wedding →
My hilarious, creative hipster friends Danielle & Gabe (@_gjg_) went and eloped, all stealthy Vegas style. Well, minus the copious booze, blow, and Vegas. This link is how they broke the news. And this whole time I thought he was going to propose to her. I guess he showed me!

{UnWinona}: I debated whether or not to share this... →
This happens to me ALL. THE. TIME.
It makes me want to disengage and withdraw from people all together. It makes me trust people less and less. It makes me want to buy a car and commute with only the company of NPR and my coffee mug.
Every time I hear a “come on girl,” or “smile,” I can feel the panic, the anger, the worry welling up inside me. Because you never know how...
