As I head off to Fitcation, I wanted to give you all a chance to meet some pretty amazing people. The crew I traveled with to Ethiopia is ah-mazing. Each has their own beautiful story and inspires the world in in a different way. Click on the links to find out for yourself how great they are. I introduced you to Emily a couple weeks ago. She is awesome-sauce. Click…
We just finished up a long but energizing day in Ethiopia. I only got about 5 hours of sleep last night, but it didn’t matter because today was the day to meet our sponsored children. I’m trying to gather my thoughts enough to tell you about it, but first let me share some of my favorite photos from the day. I dare you not to fall in love with these…
We’re less than a week away from the big trip, which means that I am spending almost every waking minute thinking about what I need to do to get ready. Last night I took my first malaria pill. I’ll take one every week for 7 weeks. I’ve taken these once before, and I remembered that they can give you some pretty vivid dreams. Last night was no exception. I didn’t…

Because my own pregnancies and childbirths were high-risk and at times downright dangerous, I couldn’t help wondering…
We are finally (slowly) on the mend around here. The light has come back into Joe’s eyes, and so far both kids are fever-free today (fingers crossed). With our quarantine in full effect I had more time than usual to read and waste time on the interwebs this week. Here are some things I found worth sharing. Inspiration: That’s why we’re all different! – Relentless Journey Cultivating (the friends in)…
Aside from the soul-filling conversations and pages of scribbled notes to ponder, I also walked away from the IF:Gathering with some bright, beautiful and socially conscious jewelry that I wanted to tell you about. I’ve been a fan of Noonday Collection for years, and even considered being an ambassador at one point (ultimately deciding that I couldn’t commit the time and effort to do it the right way), so when…
