Vote for Gabriel!

I havn't made the official announcement yet and this is kind of major.  I GOT A DOG!

Not a pug, a teacup yorkie named Gabriel.  He came in to the shelter and I fell in love after spending some time with him on the Today Show.  He just stares at you, we call it the "Gabriel Glazeover".  Naturally I am taking a gagillion photos and saw this contest so I thought it would be cool to win.

If my boy Gabriel wins, $10,000 will go to my favorite charity!  As many as I have, I think it would be really cool to give prize money to the place I got him from, Humane Society of New York.  Personally working there, I know how much good they could do with this money and winning from a dog they helped would just bring things full circle.  I don't think it's asking too much, considering he really is that cute!

Tom's Shoes

TOMS Shoes was founded on a simple premise: With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One. Using the purchasing power of individuals to benefit the greater good is what we're all about. The TOMS mission transforms our customers into benefactors, which allows us to grow a truly sustainable business rather than depending on fundraising for support.


That paragraph was taken from tomsshoes.com.  In my opinion, genius.

New Chapter

Just jumping into things, I'M BACK!  I dove into an intense job and spiraled out of control.  My body and mind just couldn't handle the stress and I imploded.  On said day of implosion, I got a phone call that changed my life coarse yet again.  

I truly believe this phone call saved me.  Thanksgiving or not, I am beyond thankful for having the people I now work with in my life and for them to give me the opportunity they gave me.  They are the most amazing people I know and I feel honored to have the privilege to work with them.  

Ladies and gentleman, I am officially an Administrative Assistant at the Humane Society of New York (HSNY)!   I'll be doing everything over there from bathing a dog to writing press releases and I couldn't be happier.  :)
