"That's right," the fox said. "For me you're only a little boy just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you have no need of me, either. For you I'm only a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, we'll need each other. You'll be the only boy in the world for me. I'll be the only fox in the world for you..."

Ray's Hell Burger



First stop DC: Ray's Hell Burger. This is the hole-in-the-wall burger joint that President Obama brought the Russian president for dinner.

North Carolina


I got home from Europe at 6:00 pm on Wednesday, and by 3:00 on Thursday I was on a plane headed out to the East Coast. My former roommate, Jenny, picked me up from the airport and we went straight to Richmond and then to the beach in North Carolina. It's so hard to be me!

First Class from Paris






The best moment of my life was when our buddy passes on Delta got us bumped to first class on the direct flight from Paris to Salt Lake City. Not only did I get a 6 course meal with real stemware, flatware and quality food, but at one point in the flight I was literally woken from my peaceful slumber by the aroma of freshly baked cookies and milk. Thank you Kate and friends!!!

And then there was Slovenia




Kate and I flew from Istanbul to Lubljana, Slovenia. My great grandmother immigrated from Slovenia after WWI when she was 17 years old. Her sister and other family stayed behind. My cousins Kate, Liz and I stayed with family for a week, and we were treated like royalty. Slovenia was one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. We visited Lake Bled, the Alps, Mini Mundos, Lippitza horse farm, Italy, Austria, and on our last day we visited my 26th country: Croatia.

Courage to Hope Update


Today, after 17 months of fundraising, 100+ donors, 50+ volunteers, 27,000 miles traveled, 19 ATM withdrawls and 1 sacrificed faux Jimmy Choo purse (ripped out the lining to stash the cash I was carrying).... the women's center in Kiev, Ukraine finally has funding for 3 new programs and 2 specialists serving 7,000+ victims of domestic violence.

Thanks to so many of you who made sacrificed much more than my faux purse to improve the quality of life of thousands of Ukrainian women and families.
