-Philanthropy Ideas

-In every blog, an insight into the craziness in my mind, fighting to do life with purpose.  A focus on being in the moment and living a simplified-ish life in a complicated world

This is a place I go to share with others my passions; philanthropy, wine, food, and life.  I believe giving always comes back in full and that creating for others, is the secret string tying us all together.  It might be the food we’ve put out for our family, or the flowers we share to show someone we care.  Life is about the little things and finding happiness in the moment we’re in now but it’s also a constant effort to keep our mind planted and who we are is forever evolving.  Here, I post about my efforts in philanthropy, fun wine pairings, simple recipes, and a small bit about me.  Through writing to you, I continue to reconnect with my beliefs; a simplified healthy lifestyle with food, exercise, sleep, giving, and nature at the core of it all. Oh and yes wine is included in the food category 😉 I believe when we stay rooted in our purpose, we keep ourselves grounded and are better able to responsibly indulge in the luxurious lifestyle available to a lot of us today.  Modern America can be an amazing place to be, but there’s so much to keep up with it’s exhausting.  What do you do to stay grounded in the world we live in today?
