Last night, I went to say goodbye to my OG rope teacher by taking his class. I brought my heart so much joy to train with him again, and I'm so grateful to have learned for such an amazing coach and human. 💖 Here's the stuff we worked on - all new material for me and SO much fun!

Almost done sorting, packing, offloading. Some stuff stored w/ a friend, some stuff ready for Norway, the rest given away via buy-nothing-new. Turns out a spreadsheet of my entire life’s possessions is the best endorsement for anti-consumerism I've seen yet.

It still blows my mind how socially difficult it is to not want kids. Even at my age, I'm constantly countering the assumption that it's rooted in fear or self-doubt.
(And that's not even getting into how often I'm expected to justify the choice at all.)

Now that WWDC is over I'm back on the rope at my usual training cadence. I'm not sure how… but I didn't seem to lose any strength this year, despite the massive training reduction March thru June! #circus #aerialrope

Another year another amazing DubDub Karaoke! What an epic night with Apple friends old and new! And with that, my #wwdc25 is at a close. It was a magical one and I'm beyond grateful for everyone that made it happen!

Day 0 of #wwdc25 week was a huge success! A fantastic rehearsal with @jamesdempsey.net & The Breakpoints (don't miss the show! livenearwwdc.com) and then the always epic @RevenueCat bash!

Nothing could have prepared me for the pure, unfiltered 90s joy of finding a Ren & Stimpy reference... AppKit's Pasteboard Programming Guide.
Happy happy, joy joy, indeed.

I finally found a way to get myself to put my phone down… This works shockingly well for those moments when I just unlock out of habit with no real intention.

Progress takes time! I've always wanted to learn this trick, but shoulder injuries prevented me from doing it over near 20 years of training. This video isn't glamorous, and I'm being spotted, but it's exciting to see progress on something I never thought I could achieve. #aerialstraps

Yesterday, I was talking with a coworker about how essential it is for me to step away from work to truly focus when I'm there. For me, the studio is that escape—a space where my mind shifts completely to movement, body, and expression. It's where I re-balance.

We enter the liminal period! I like to turn off all tracking, streaks, etc. in the "space" between years as a way to check in with what's actually serving me.
(Except water tracking… I'd turn into a piece of jerky without that! 😅)

I'm in love with this training space here in Oslo. Just look at that light!

Went on a beautiful, moody run in Bergen, Norway this morning.
I love the feeling of getting lost in a new place over a slow meandering run. Running has always been a challenge for me, so doing it as a form of exploration makes it so much more enjoyable!

After I moved back to the Bay Area from NYC, I spent a lot time settling in to my new job, home, etc. It meant less time for rope and aerial training. One year later I have one of my "nemesis" tricks back in shape to the point where it almost feels "easy" again and I couldn't be happier.

Got new shoes for crushing bugs and hearts (but mostly bugs). [Fluevogs if you’re wondering.]
