I’m Tired of… Flying!

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

There are so many things I’m Tired of…, a lot of them serious issues, like all of the important causes we support, but some of them are just annoying things that stick in my “craw” — like, take for example, the wonderful world of flying!

So, especially with summer travel upon us, I decided to dedicate my Huffington Post story for this week to exactly that and wrote a piece called, “I’m Tired of… Flying.”

I’m tired of walking through scanners barefoot and beltless. I’m tired of paying for baggage, soft drinks and food… I’m tired of flying from beginning to end! What’s next… coin operated airplane bathrooms?”

I had so much fun writing it, that I might have to continue to write about more and more things we’re all tired of!

Any suggestions for me? Click here to read the story.

“Memories of Alzheimer’s” in the Huffington Post

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

momMy article in this week’s Huffington Post is very personal for me and helps you understand a big part of what drove Dan and I to start the “I’m Tired of…” campaign. Called “Memories of Alzheimer’s,” it’s about my personal experience with my mother and her eight year battle with Frontotemporal Dementia, which is very akin to Alzheimer’s Disease. I imagine that many of you will relate to this story, since Alzheimer’s Disease touches so many people.

I wear three different “I’m Tired of…” bracelets every day and one of them is “I’m Tired of Alzheimer’s” in honor and memory of my mom, who I still miss and think about every single day.

I’M WRITING FOR HUFFINGTON POST!

Friday, January 30th, 2009

buzz_lightyearMy very first blog post for the Huffington Post went up today and I couldn’t be more honored and excited. We were asked to contribute a regular blog for their Giving Life section on ITo’s mission, campaign and our causes. This first one is a fun read that talks about how Dan and I went from owning a large successful computer company to philanthropy. It’s called “From Computers to Charity…and Beyond!” I particularly love the Buzz Lightyear photo they chose to go with it.

Check it out, comment and become a fan! That’s how we’ll keep spreading the word big time!
