Daily Memoir -

This practice is always
𝒎𝒚 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 into writing.

If you’re finding yourself stuck, try a #𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐢𝐫 .
It’s as low pressure as journaling — doesn’t have to be “good” writing, and it offers the freedom to write about anything happening (internal or external) in that day.

Give it a try.
Tag me if you do.

#dailymemoir from the 𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬.

I’m reading through my 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐬 and highlighting the lines I love or that still resonate with me today.

This line from 𝐅𝐞𝐛 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎 still hits.
What are you growing & willing to work for?

Do you journal?
My sweet friend @catarinajuliet reminded me to not just take time to write but take time to read what I write.
So, I’m taking the time. 🖤

Hi,
It’s been a minute.
Finding my way back —
To early mornings,
To pen,
To paper,
To you,

A few of my 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 pics

A few of my 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 pics from the
Ｓａｎ
Ｊｕａｎ
Ｓａｌｏｎ.

This 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙩 meant so much to me and all of us on the @tellherco team.

@hello_azureatoinette is the 𝙖𝙗𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙩 and I told her everyday I’ll never do an event with her again.
So, obviously we’re planning the next 𝟱𝟬 already.

It’s hard to sum up all that this event meant to me but while we were there I told Dane 𝙄 𝙛𝙚𝙡𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣.

I fell in love with 𝙎𝙖𝙣 𝙅𝙪𝙖𝙣, and our 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢, and 𝘿𝙖𝙣𝙚 (again and again), and these 𝒘𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔, and 𝒘𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏 I’ve known from afar. I fell in love with our 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒘 and am campaigning for all of them to move to 𝑪𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓, or at least come visit.

And 𝑰 𝒇𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒊𝒏 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒎𝒚 𝒋𝒐𝒃 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒘𝒂𝒚. After telling my 𝒔𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓 all about the event she asked me, “okay, so…what do you do?!”

And honestly, I don’t know, Kaz! I do interviews with cool people, and find authors to come speak, I write, I plan, I make bffs with one of the few competent humans in the Marriott events department, 𝑰 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒕 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒈𝒐𝒐 𝒅𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒔 𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒐𝒖𝒕, I bring Azure the whole basket of muffins, and for one week I take an elevator up to the penthouse floor to get my makeup done every morning.

It’s the weirdest, coolest job around. And as much as I hate working with her, I’m 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒍𝒚 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒅 of my bud, AA…like got teary multiple times watching her pull this off proud—
even if our texts imply otherwise.

Love and miss you all!
Ready to go back yet? 😬

*AA,
don’t ever show people our texts—feel like that needs to be said…again. 🤫

Our season of insanity with the sports is coming to an end! The girls won their softball game, and last night they performed in their first ever gymnastics recital.

Love these babies and all their sweet friends. 🖤
