If you’re in your feels as much as I am during this devastating time in our lives, there’s a chance your days are mired in chasing some normalcy, while occasionally pondering how you might affect change. Maybe, like me, you’re looking for ways to help our country’s most vulnerable communities, as crises unravel across the nation.
Mile High Moments 💍🏔 #denver
Happy birthday to my insta-lurking, wacky, weird, fierce, determined, sweet, benevolent & radical compañera 🎉🥳@lisal_chidc

Congrats #hokiegrad @_annamurphy_ ! Resilience, courage, and compassion has always been your brand. Your tireless work and service to the Blacksburg community over the past year is proof of that, so is your new hat 👩‍🎓. Proud big brother isn’t a strong enough phrase ❤️.

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.
Some SoFL shots 📸
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).
