So Much Love Being Shared

A week ago was Jen Gutmann and my yoga fundraiser for our trips. The event went so smoothly, and the support we had from our friends was unbelievable. The energy in the yoga room, and the party afterwards was so strong. It was just such an amazing experience being surrounded by people we love and who love us, and doing something we all love, for a cause other than our own personal gain.

I feel like in the last two weeks I have really seen the greatest, most wonderful sides of everyone I've been around. The other chaperones going on these trips and their hard work, dedication to the students traveling with us, the cause itself. The teachers and students at Revolution Power Yoga, their willingness to help and spread the word, and just even support emotionally. The awesome girls I work with, and their willingness to help make things easier for me and my busy new schedule, and helping to spread the word for me and the cause, as well as donate their time and skills to helping me raise money. My parents, for wholeheartedly supporting me in this decision to travel the world and help people in need. Every single person associated with me that has donated their time, or their skills, or their money or their product, or even just a kind word of appreciation.

My list of people to write thank you cards to is growing exponentially, and I couldn't be happier. One thing is for sure, this is a lot of hard work, but I plan on doing it for the rest of my life..

Cuts for Cambodia Day 1

Wow, what an awesome turn out last night at my first fundraising event. My lovely boss Jamie was kind enough to donate her evening to helping me take care of clients while my awesome mom and superstar Jen Gutmann socialized, served wine and food, and made sure everything moved smoothly. Cafe 163 made delicious salad and carrot cake for some healthy snacks and Steve Anzalone of Beverage Distributors donated a few bottles of wine for the event. It was a long night, but totally worth it, as I raised $585 for my trip. I have more clients tonight and tomorrow so lets see what more we can raise!!! Also preparing for the Glow Yoga event on Monday. It's going to be so so much fun!!!! Ok, back to my real job.....
