What If Romney Wins?

November 4, 2012

It’s my last post before the election. Primarily because the election is this Tuesday. And I feel very anxious about the results of this election. Here’s why. At the time that I’m writing this post, the polls are showing that this country is roughly divided evenly, about 49% in Obama’s court and about 49% in Romney’s court. [...]

A Young Life Stolen

October 12, 2012

I’ve always been fascinated by my family history. It’s not so much the actual lineage as it is just imagining what life was like generations ago. Even with distant relatives from long ago, I feel a connection to my family history, especially when I have photographs that capture so many moments in time. Like this one. [...]

A Little Girl’s Dreams

October 10, 2012

People often thought my sister and I were twins. We were three years apart but roughly the same size. We were pretty cute buggers, weren’t we? I don’t remember if we ever discussed our hopes and dreams for the future. I’m sure I talked about wanting to be an actress and a model. Too bad [...]

Charity Pit Stop On My Toyota Road Trip

October 8, 2012

When I lived in Raleigh, I was proud to serve as a Social Media Ambassador for the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. During my time there, I was able to tour the large warehouse facility they had and learn more about the incredibly efficient operations they have with both incoming and outgoing food [...]

Paying It Forward Across the Country

October 1, 2012

I love how traveling always brings adventure. Even a trip to the grocery store can be an adventure. But bigger adventures usually come with bigger trips. Take last weekend, for example. I was headed out on a train from Baltimore to New York. I ran into so many friendly people. And these were just your [...]

The Highly Enlightened Taxi Driver

September 26, 2012

You never come back from New York City without stories. Am I right or am I right? I fully expected stories from the Social Good Summit to enlighten me, enrich my life, give me new perspective. But I didn’t expect those stories to start with my taxi ride from Penn Station to the hotel. I [...]

The Self-Loathing Is Strong With This One

September 24, 2012

I discovered something about myself this weekend and it wasn’t what I was expecting. I attended the Social Good Summit in New York City (more to come on this later) and got to hang out with about twenty of the most interesting bloggers I know. We chatted about everything from our passions to our business [...]

What if it’s not enough? What if I’m not enough?

September 17, 2012

There are things about social good that I love. – It’s easy to share information, thoughts, quotes with your sphere of influence. – It’s easy to lend your support to an organization with your voice. – Small actions can add up to big actions (see my Blogust post!). – It makes you feel good to [...]

Unexplained Connections: Where do you feel at home?

September 3, 2012

Several years ago, my brother and sister both visited me and for some odd reason, I started talking about this weird sensitive area I have on the left side of my abdomen. My brother confessed he also had a sensitive area in the exact same spot. Coincidence? Probably but it kind of freaked me out [...]

The Comments You Never See

August 27, 2012

Today, I’m sharing a story about comments and connections. But if you don’t make it to the end of the story, PLEASE leave me a comment today anyway. It’s worth $20 to someone who needs it. Read on… — I recently read a book called “The Blue Sweater.” I wasn’t really sure it was my [...]
