Did you know that Dallas and the burbs are a little NAUGHTY? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not in like a sexual, sadomasochistic, furry kind of way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Okay, maybe that too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whatever. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You do you boo. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I mean, Dallas is being naughty naughty.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
DF dubs needs a spanking.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And here's why ⤵️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It has been ranked the number 1 city for the worst climate impact from cars, traffic and commuters.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The data is in and we've got some commuting issues. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why isn't it a big city like New York? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because surprisingly the worst offenders aren't congested cities like NYC and SF.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But rather . . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sprawling, car-dependent cities and metros like Dallas. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Naughty, naughty DFW. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But wait!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😍There's some really, really good news! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
DART wants to get more people riding and they've got an Ambassador program to help YOU. 😃🙋💥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let's say, for example, you have no FUCKING clue how to pay your fare, determine your route and frankly, your scared your going to get mugged or shot on the light rail. #BecauseRumors⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You now have the option for HELP. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And its FREE. Yay!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻You get a DART Ambassador. And you get a DART ambassador . . and you get a DART ambassador. #OhShitBeccaDontMakeOprahReferencesinTexas⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do this ⤵️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Email: mobilityambassador@dart.org ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They will help you:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔ Prepare a trip ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔ Show you how to pay the fare⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔ Travel safely between your origin and destination ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Goal ➡️ let's try being a little less naughty once per month. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If DART could do me this one teeny tiny favor . . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The next time the Red line slides into Westmoreland station, instead of heading back towards Parker Road station, could y'all just keep scooching just a bit further south. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On over to . . . Corsicana. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Its just a little scoochy scooch to the South.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why further South?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because I am obsessed with Jerry and Morgan and Lexi and Sherbs and La'Darius . . and basically the beautiful story unfolding on Netflix about the @navarrocollege cheer team. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Seriously. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cheer is a SPORT! Plus, faces 😚 matter too.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Texans can all agree that Cheer is next level!! 💥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have y'all seen it? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Its sooooo goooooooood 😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One moment, I'm Team Jerry, then I'm Team Morgan then Team La'Darius and then Team Lexi. 💗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whomever created this documentary, I'm pretty sure Coach Monica 1000% approved. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ooooh, I see that its @greggor11 #BrilliantStoryteller⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thx DART! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And thank you . . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Want to know about a little gem just steps from the train station? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From any line - the Red, Orange, Blue, or Green . . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
[Because they all pass through Downtown Dallas.] ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hop off at St Paul station 🚊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And stroll into the historic USPS 📬 building. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Inside this gorgeous building you'll find @thehospitalitysweet ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's full of scrumptious things like:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💟Croissants⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💟Earl Grey tea⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💟Buttermilk biscuits⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💟Nutella lattes ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💟Baked brie sandwiches ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💟Red velvet cheesecake brownies ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adorable + yummy 💗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adventure on!

I'm not impressed with prominence.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm impressed with authenticity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Purpose. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And external focus.

So this starts to get really interesting . . .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Its like they've thought of everything. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There's a 3rd way to board the DART light rail and buses ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(but FYI, not for TEXRail, DCTA or Trinity Metro yet) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So we know there is:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ GoPass app ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ Paper ticket from the kiosk ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This 3rd innovative way to make your train dreams come true is called the ➡️ GoPass Tap.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, you still need to know these 2 things ⤵️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
HOW & WHY. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⭐️ WHY: You can quickly load or reload funds to your card online and never worry about having EXACT change ever again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I mean, have you ever been on the freaking Oklahoma turnpike in the middle of nowhere being asked to pay with the exact change every 5 miles? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nothing worse than digging through the car/purse/pockets of tight ass skinny jeans to do this. 😂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⭐️HOW: You grab a card at one of the retail locations, load it with the amount of money you need for upcoming transit travel then tap it on one of these stations. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They have a retail location map on their site but you can pretty much count on @7eleven to have them and some @acecashexpress stores. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just tap and ride.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⭐️Easy: You don't need a credit card or a debit card. You can reload the card at retail locations. And once you have the card you can even register it online so you can check the balance.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you know someone that could benefit from this 3rd option of tapping, could you pass this info along? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let's help out our neighbors and community. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Oh, and be sure to give them a hug and thank them for keeping 1 car off the road. Central Expressway will thank you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
P.S. I think I might start giving these cards out instead of Starbucks cards - the gift of adventure and transit to everywhere you need to go in Dallas. 💛

Is it because of my Larry David mouth? [when I asked Brian why I haven’t been invited to attend anyone’s church]

Diary of a Department Store Dick.
That’s actually the title of an article I’m reading in @d_magazine at this moment while sipping my @liberationcoffeeco at @klydewarrenpark. ☀️Pretending we are in The Big 🍎 and not the Big D today. 🚍Headed to the @ddesigndistrict in a bit. Maybe lunch @stackssandwichcompany?? What are your Design District faves?

When I'm not reading books, I'm listening to things that make me laugh such as Chrisley Knows Best and seeing what @nannyfayechrisley is getting herself into. Or Sebastian Manascalco, Larry David and Chris Delia. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I also just discovered @toddchrisley and @juliechrisley on their podcast. Soooo good!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But when it comes to books . . .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is one of the most phenomenal books I've read cover to cover a few times over the years. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not to be confused with the Art of War rather this is ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
the WAR of ART by @steven_pressfield. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It covers:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📌 Resistance⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📌 Distraction⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Procrastination is the most common manifestation of Resistance because it’s the easiest to rationalize. We don’t tell ourselves, ‘I’m never going to write my symphony.’ Instead we say, ‘I am going to write my symphony; I’m just going to start tomorrow.’” -Steven Pressfield⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📌 Patience ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📌 And my fave topic - becoming pro (and working with others who have committed to going pro) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“To the amateur, the game is his avocation. To the pro, it’s his vocation. The amateur plays part-time, the professional full-time. The amateur is a weekend warrior. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The professional is there SEVEN days a week.” -S. Pressfield⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who's ready to break through the resistance and go pro?

One of my fave stops on the train is . . . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Park Lane.
(I hop off and go somewhere kinda shocking⚡️ so keep reading) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You'll find Park Lane station on the RED line. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And sometimes the Orange line as well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
OMW I might hop off at Walnut Hill to have a coffee or drink at @CivilPourTX. Totally worth it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then back on to Park Lane. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From the Light Rail station, I can walk over to the @shopsatparklane where I can be found at @shopsaintbernard or the giant @starbucks and sometimes I even book an appt at the @avedainstitute_dallas. The Aveda institute is super cheap and its pretty darn amazing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Or, sometimes, I get a lil crazy and do this ⤵️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I jump on the 702 🚍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
OMG. Suburbanite on a bus. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Spoiler Alert: I live to tell the story. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To be transparent, its the bus that circulates between Park Lane and NorthPark Center. Let's be real, its a perfect starter bus and Chanel will be within eyesight in approx 6 minutes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Its also where I go to hang out with my fellow Apple fanatics at their amazing genius bar . . cuz once you go Mac . . .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now from here is where I get cray cray CRAZY! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I either walk the mean monogrammed streets of Highland Park to my absolute fave restaurant OR I take the 428 (another freakin bus 😱) down Northwest Highway to the @plazaatpreston. (at this moment, the social media mgr at Preston Plaza has just fallen off their Herman Miller chair). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And when Brian is with me, we stroll right into our fave - @RDKitchenDallas where we easily drop about 30x the cost of our DART ticket. 😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If the restaurant patrons only knew 👫 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
P.S. Order the Kale Cashew salad and do NOT leave without the hot fudge sundae. You'll die!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
