To Mr. Schwirtz

Dear Mr. Schwirtz, I understand that you were shown one of my earlier blogs by a mutual friend (“Justice is what LOVE looks like in public”) and when the video was finished, you walked away asking “So, What do we do about it?”. I am certain that many other people who read this blog are…

25 Years

Today my parents are celebrating 25 years of marriage together! It has been so incredible to look back and reflect on the years they have devoted to life together and how committed they are to their vows, even today. I have so much respect for my parents who have always been a steadfast source of…

JUSTICE is what love looks like in public

Last year, the sex slave industry alone made $32 billion- that’s more than Starbucks, Google and Nike combined. At least 50% of these sex slaves are under the age of 18 years old. “It’s time for the world to focus on acknowledging that slavery still exists- it never went away. Yet we put people on…

The Aluminum Lining

In June of 2010 I was robbed. My laptop was stolen from me while I was at work. Not only did I feel as though my personal privacy and safety were violated, I lost all of my music library, college papers, accumulated research, journals and thousands of photos. I was devastated.

Tourism in Guatemala

In May of 2010, I spent four weeks teaching English at a village school, studying Spanish and travelling the countryside of Guatemala.

However, in the last century Guatamala has been plauged with…
