Murphlip the Senate 🍑💙
Scenes from the fall (🍁)
It's my birthday 🎉! This month also marks my three year anniversary at @networkforgood. It's been an incredible ride - as the company has grown, so too have the number of partnerships we've been able to foster with small (but mighty) nonprofits, nationwide.
Last week I flew to south Texas and joined a grassroots campaign to send @jcisnerostx_ to congress.
Since everyone and their mother is doing it, I couldn't help but gather some moments in time from the year that rounded out a decade. It was one filled with puppers, laughs, celebrations, volunteering (🇭🇳 & 🏀), travels (🇨🇴 & 🇵🇷), friends, family, and of course, a good duckface here and there. Onto the next 10er.

Happy 2️⃣1️⃣ to my amazing, not-so-little sis @_annamurphy_ 🍾🍾
Get you a squad that can do both 🎃⚾
#tbt rubbing elbows with the Clooneys + celebrating the first annual #asilgala @ the Frick Museum in NYC. Wasn't bold/important enough to get a posed pic with the guests of honor, but did sneak into a few candids (pics 2&3).
Laguna matata, what a wonderful phrase 🚣🏼‍♂️.
Mar rosado, las salinas de Galerazamba 🇨🇴

Qué bueno verte de nuevo, Colombia 🇨🇴
Mr. Camel, Habibi, Ha-bby -- my sword in the darkness, co-coach, draeft consigliere, and brother. You bring so much joy to the world and yesterday, the world gave you the ultimate joy. Here's to you and @hillennial - to a life of escape and wonder. 🥂💍
