El Salvador dia tres
Day three in El Salvador, and workday two, is best described by my favorite Latin musician and numero uno girl crush – Shakira. She was a bonding point for me and the kids – her song LOCA was our common language. I’m not talking about this part… “Sigo tranquila Like I’m on a beach in […]
El salvador noche numero dos
It all started with: “Yeah Angie get the Tequila Lorena with me!” –Chelsey “Then can we go swim in the ocean??!!” I begged. Ten minutes later, after dehydration from sweating our cahonas off at work and having had 2 Lorenas(a drink our friend Lorena created at Casa De Mar-tequila, grapefruit, lemon and soda)…now definitely the […]
El Salvador dos dia
Our first workday with One Kid One World and Glasswing International in El Salvador was basically Camp “Helping Kids Helps Us.” We drove the Adult Short Bus down the dusty dirt road, passing trucks with fenced sides holding young men -more like boys – crammed in the back, heading to work I assume. We passed […]

Inspiring #16 Liz
Liz Gemmill kicked my butt into gear for 2011… Liz is a subtle inspiration. Why? Liz, being the friend I’ve known LONGEST in LA – we met interning at Conan O’Brian 10 years ago – well she just knew I needed a workout plan this year. Liz was not privy to the fact that I […]
Sh*t My Grandma Says – #17
It’s a Wonderful life with Grandma Banicki 5 reasons I want to be like Grandma…..exemplified this Christmas: 1. Grandma makes you feel good.
