Happy Friday ATX! Edition 7 🤠

Let’s start this week’s newsletter with another question.

When was the last time you envisioned the ideal version of yourself?

How do you want to look? How do you want to feel? Where do you want to live? What material possessions do you want to own? How do you want to be spending your time?

Then ask yourself: Who do I have to become to achieve that?

This is just a short reminder. If we don’t have a destination in mind, then we are just wandering. I want to be clear that there is nothing wrong with wandering. It may even align with your answers to the questions above. However, if you have big aspirations, wandering may not be the best route to your destination.

Just like a GPS you need to choose the destination first, and then start heading in that direction.

There may be detours and unexpected obstacles, but if the destination is set then it’s all just part of the path.

Cheers friends. Let’s jump into what’s going on in Austin this week!

But first… a meme

Best thing we drank (lets try this?) this week…  Have you ever had a frozen Mexican Martini? Well while everyone else was consuming normal margaritas on National Margarita Day, we chose to consume a superior beverage.

(It’s literally just a margarita with olive juice fyi)

Now I’ve had plenty of Mexican Martinis around town, but Holiday on 7th is the first place I have found that is offering this in a frozen format and it hits the spot.

We also had french fries with some sort of buttermilk aioli, and delicious bar nuts. They have a pretty awesome food menu that I need to make time to explore, but I had already cooked dinner before going out.

New Business that we want to try… Poeta looks amazing. From the team behind Intero, it opened on Dec. 8th in Uncle Nicky’s old spot in the Frances Modern Inn. They serve all-day Italian food in a gorgeous setting. Check out the menu and tell me it doesn’t look insane.
