Good morning. As I’m sure you’ve heard on the news, the country of Nepal just experienced its worst earthquake in history. The death toll is over 2,300 and thousands more have been injured, displaced or lost their homes.

As I wake up in my home in Charlotte with a cup of chai green tea and a smoothie there are 48 children in Nepal sleeping outside in a field after evacuating their home due to the earthquake.
Last year I shared a post with you about the documentary Waiting for Mamu which tells the story of Pushpa Basnet, a child activist who adopts children in Nepal whose mothers are in prison and provides them with a home and an education.
I learned yesterday from my friend Thomas Morgan who made the documentary that Pushpa and her 48 adopted children are living in a field. Tom has been in communication with Pushpa and learned that the rented home that she and the children live in has been destroyed. What’s worse, Pushpa was in the process of building a new dream home for the children and it suffered major damage as well.
Tom shared this update from Pushpa:
“My boys, we are safe but lots of damaged now we are staying in a plastic home … Kids are safe …. My kids are very scared …. Everything is damaged in home …”
I am heartbroken for her and these beautiful children this morning.
I am so fortunate to have this platform to help share her message and her story and I beg of you to consider donating to help them begin to rebuild.
Get details on how to donate on the Waiting for Mamu site.
Thank you. <3

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a month since I ran the Every Woman’s Marathon! One of the fun things about this year’s race was getting to visit Scottsdale, Arizona. It was my first time in Arizona and while it was a quick trip, I tried to maximize my time there. Here’s a [...]

In keeping with tradition, I’m coming in hot with a last-minute gift guide. As much as I’d like to think that one day I’ll be the kind of person who has their holiday shopping done before Black Friday…it’s just not a likely scenario. And I’m okay with that! I hope this list helps you finish [...]

I am settled in back at home after a very special Thanksgiving in Florida. I cherish all of our trips to Florida but this one was extra meaningful because we had a bigger holiday crew this year. My cousin’s family came down and it was just the best to have a big tableful of people [...]

I am on a three-hour flight home from Scottsdale so it seems like the perfect time to relive and recap yesterday’s Every Woman’s Marathon experience. I had a great day and I’m very proud of the race that I ran. It was a practice in “fun running” and that not every race effort has to [...]
