I have always loved raising funds for causes I love. As a child, I was a volunteer for the Red Cross and I helped spread awareness about vaccines, first aid, and disease prevention. This was crucial in slums like the one I grew up in and in more remote rural areas, because we didn’t have …

I’ve been pondering a lot about my life and getting to know myself so much more these days as I notice my thoughts and my decisions and examine how I carry those actions through – or don’t. I’ve recently discovered that every time I get the opportunity to challenge myself (in a healthy way) I …

It’s my firstborn’s 15th birthday! I started the day by telling her “I love you.” I joked around that “when you’re 15 and someone tells you they love you, you gotta believe them!” There’s nothing like a Taylor Swift song to make a young girl smile. Then we headed out bright and early to a …
