Friday Feels: Surprise, surprise, surprise

Growing up with grandparents who lived in rural east Texas meant spending the summer months running through open fields, riding horses, tending gardens, and eating way more yummy food than you could reasonably hold in your belly. It was a sublime season of life. And while hanging with “maw-maw” and…

Friday Feels: Building for One

One of my favorite movies growing up was Field of Dreams. The movie was released in 1989 at the height of my little league baseball career. This was during a brief period when I was very much into collecting old baseball cards and learning all I could about the game. …

Friday Feels: What Love Looks Like

I’m kind of obsessed with the new Apple show Loot. It stars one of my favorite actors, Maya Rudolph, as a fictional version of MacKenzie Scott (Jeff Bezoz’s ex-wife). The premise is much the same: a very public and humiliating divorce leaving a wife who had helped to build an…

Friday Feels: Proudly Me

I remember it like it was yesterday. I was in New York working at my first recruiting agency, hustling to make it in the big city. Living in New York had long been my dream. Correction: Living openly in New York had long been my dream. It was not until…

Friday Feels: Crying it Out

This week I returned to full-time working status at Meta after a glorious month of paternity leave with my daughter. Returning to work after an extended leave is tough — kind of like jumping onto a speeding train. …

Friday Feels: Baking Strawberry Cakes

My daughter will be 1 year old tomorrow (I’m writing this on Thursday night). And I just baked a homemade strawberry cake with a cute little “1” candle on it for us to eat tomorrow morning (yes, cake for breakfast on your birthday)! We will sing Las Mañanitas, followed by…

Friday Feels: Leaning into my Identity

I’m the oldest of six kids. While that is a shocking data point even on it’s own, it’s also worth noting that there is only 10 years that separate me from my baby sister. …

Friday Feels: Giggles After Sneezing

I have light, blue/grey eyes. For my entire life I’ve always been very sensitive to light. Also, brighter the light the more tired my eyes get. Another symptom I experience because of my eyes is what’s called Autosomal Dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst. It’s a condition where some people regularly and…

Friday Feels: Standing in other Shoes

I grew up in the south of the United States and in the world of conservative, Christian religion. As a child I remember listening to the stories from the Bible with wonder and often times confusion. Made even more complicated by the fact that my father was the Preacher. I…
