  • Holiday Cheer from the RRAR Community Service Committee


    (click to view video online)

    On the third Tuesday of every month, I have the pleasure of having lunch and planning some great community service projects with one of the most talented, giving, and energized group of professionals in the Triangle: The Raleigh Regional Association of Realtors Community Service Committee.

    If you are a local REALTOR(R) (or affiliated member of the RRAR – including mortgage firms, contractors, appraisers, etc.) and want to commit to something in 2011 that will allow you to give more than just a donation, but also your time and personal service to our local community, then please join us at our first meeting in January (Tuesday, January 18, 2011) at the RRAR to learn more about our group and getting involved.

    Happy holidays, y’all!

  • Weekends of Epic Proportions

    I’ll just preface this post by saying, “I can sleep when I’m dead”. (Thank you JMC!)

    Today – E. Riley Dorn (pictured below, on the right) is at the hospital about to welcome little “G Baby” into the world. Pretty wild stuff. I am not nearly as spazzed out about it as the rest of our little mafia, as I’ve had several friends to take on this responsibility since senior year of high school (shout out to Steph, Amanda)! The rest of the girls in our college gang? Well they’re another story. (And really entertaining to observe their reactions right now.)

    (Katie Pi Phi, me, E. Riley Dorn at a bar a few years ago)

    Congrats Hot Momma E. Riley Dorn and Daddy Dorn!

    Tonight – Nick and I are volunteering with Priscilla and her hubby Chase, and lots of other volunteers from the Raleigh Regional Association of Realtors Community Service Committee (you know I also have a real estate license, right?) at Miracle League. Pretty pumped to be volunteering to help some fantastic kids play baseball!

    Tomorrow– NC State Spring Football Game, possibly a visit to CueGrass, and definitely attending Redress Raleigh.

    Sunday– Bridal show w/ Brezey*B, Am*Bam, etc.

    (Me, Brianne, Amber – summer after senior year of high freaking school)

    NEXT Weekend

    TBMF with Katie Pi Phi, Mr. Katie Pi Phi (who will have a snazzy nickname after next weekend, surely), F’in Jess, Grubey and her brother, NEB, Nate, Big Cam, Renee, and the whole rest of the drinkin’ team. Best day of the year!

    (Yes, that is also E. Riley Dorn in that picture… less than a year ago… SO not pregnant, obviously ;-))

    PS – Going to the TBMF and still need tickets? Buy them from my friends at the Me Fine Foundation – they get a donation from every single ticket sold! Give them a call or send them an email to arrange!

    And that will consume the entire weekend – no lie.

    Why on Earth would I live anywhere else in the world?
    I love this place and the people that make it what it is!

  • Fight Like a Girl

    I’ve always loved that phrase and I think it’s perfectly appropriate for the campaign for the fight against breast cancer. I was thrilled when Bomshel came back to mainstream country radio with their newest single, “Fight Like a Girl”.

    Click here if you can’t see the video above!


    Here are some ways that you can Fight Like a Girl right now!

    Busy October? Well then how does next Tuesday look?Get a Massage for the Cure at Massage Envy!

    All Triangle area Massage Envy locations

    Book a one-hour massage for $35.00 and Massage Envy will donate $10 per massage to Komen NC Triangle. Nationally, Massage for the Cure has raised over $800,000 for Komen programs, services and research!


    I just booked my appointment for a $35 massage (of which, a very generous $10 donation goes to Komen)… so why not treat yourself, your mom, your sister, your best gal pal… ANYONE for that matter to a little pampering for a great cause?

    As the song says: Kick (cancer’s) ass, take names.

  • Coalition in Raleigh

    Seriously, I can’t say enough good things about what this group is doing in the Triangle (Durham, Raleigh, etc.).

    I don’t think this video is on YouTube, so I can’t embed it, but visit this link and be patient for it to load: http://gallery.mac.com/robertghensley23#100540.

    SO amazing.

    PS – As I was writing this, I found the video on vimeo, posted on the Coalition’s website, UnChainDogs.net.

  • Wear It Well

    I’d be ok with seeing all of your other shades of color that aren’t Wolfpack Red if it’s for this cause:

    The V Foundation 8th Annual ‘Show Your Spirit’ Campaign Begins : published at CarolinaNewswire.com – Stay on top of the day’s business & technology news

    Registration has begun for The V Foundation for Cancer Research’s 8th Annual “Show Your Spirit!” campaign. In conjunction with the start of the collegiate basketball tournament, companies, organizations and schools from across the country register to join together to raise funds for essential cancer research, on March 19th and 20th. With a minimum $5 donation to The V Foundation, participants “earn the right” to wear their favorite team apparel to work or school. Corporations are urged to match employee donations.

    Corporate support aids in making The Foundation one of the nation’s leading fundraising organizations for cancer research. Team ESPN has partnered with The V Foundation on Show Your Spirit since the inception of the program. This year, through a generous donation from Nike, Inc., The V Foundation can once again assure participants that every penny of their $5 donation will directly fund cancer research. .

    “Don’t Give Up… Don’t Ever Give Up!” buttons will be distributed to each participant to visibly commemorate support and remind others of the continued need for cancer research. Non-basketball fans are encouraged to participate, as well, in this grassroots campaign that nearly everyone can afford to support.

    Sign up and share your pics with your team spirit proudly displayed 🙂

  • The Back Home Box Foundation

    Those who know me know that support for our troops is something I always keep close to my heart and mind and I was VERY glad to meet these folks and find out a little about their organization during the Wolfpack’s spring Red & White game a while back.

    The Back Home Box Foundation‘s goal “is to give our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan the pleasure of opening a big ‘ol box full of things they miss.” They encourage those interested to “read the e-mails on our web-site and we think you will want to help”.

    Check them out online at http://www.backhomebox.com/ or at 13200 Strickland Road, Suite 114/286, Raleigh, NC 27613.

  • I Would Really Appreciate Your Support!


    This year, I’m racing for everyone I know and love whose lives have been touched by cancer – especially my Aunt Pat who is currently kicking breast cancer’s butt!

    It will break your heart to try and count the number of amazing people we’ve lost due to cancer but, the worst part is – while treatment is getting better every day – there is still no cure.

    Join me in the fight against breast cancer until we’ve found a cure!

    Thank you for your support!
