I have never been so excited to receive underwear! Last Thursday alone, I received over 54 pairs. Yesterday, my cousin collected over 500. Julie and Tracy bought 92 combined, and I just left the 99 cent store with 7 packs of 3 for 99 cents a pack. I have great friends and family! I believe this i...

Two weeks go, I spoke to my volunteer coordinator with GVN about specific needs that the orphanage might need in Kenya. The first on the list was underwear. Easy, I thought.

 I stumbled onto the American Express Members Project Contest a few nights ago. It gives people an opportunity to come up with ideas to change the world, to make a real difference. So, I called my partner in crime, Julie Ferenzi, to fill her in on this amazing opportunity. After an hour of brain...

  The Devil Came On Horseback was an eyeopening, shocking, disturbing and horrific documentary about the true occurrences of what is happening RIGHT NOW in the Darfur region of Sudan. If you want to understand the BACKGROUND of the entire “situation,” please go and read the link. Education and a...
