GUTS! do you refresh them?

GUTS! Do you refresh them? HAHA! I’M SO CLEVER— remember that show GUTS! DO YOU HAVE THEM? Yep, that’s what I based the title of this blog off of. Sometimes, ya know, you just need to crack yourself up in order to proceed on with your day a little bit lighter…. Speaking of lighter!  How are you feeling today? I’m feeling pretty gross because I’ve been pretty much allowing myself to eat whatever and whenever I want- pizza, wings, chocolate covered pretzels, a whole jar of “healthy trail mix” in one sitting, half a bag of sweet potato chips in 5 minutes… You know! Anything goes! I also have been skipping out on my favorite gut detox- hot water with lemon and honey in the morning and I can tell- and (GASP) I missed two days last week of my shake.

I'm sure by now, you've seen my countless posts. Countless videos. Countless ways for you to donate to LLS.

(I use the words passion & obsession interchangeably, haha!)  So, I'm going to take this time to blog and explain. Share some stories. Fill you in on this huge part of my heart.... I have been given the opportunity of a lifetime to help others. Each year The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) launches its Man & Woman of the Year fundraising campaign, and I was honored to join this year’s efforts as the 2015 Woman of the year Campaign Manager for Team Fight for Joy.  I am writing today to ask for your support of LLS’s mission in its efforts to find cures for blood cancers and to assist patients and families as they battle this disease.
