Writing this required me to break my own heart a hundred times over, but if it can inspire someone to donate blood it is worth it. If you could kindly just hit share, my family finds deep comfort in knowing her story saves so many lives.🙏🏻❤️🦋 #apintforkim https://t.co/RSSnPcccag

In 2018, my 1st Elmhurst U faculty meeting opened w/ a JOYFUL prayer about what a gift it is to help guide young adults! I knew I was where I needed to be. Today our prayer was a moment of silence for the girls killed in Iran by a US missile. I still know I’m where I need to be.

Loved getting to help with this year’s Champions Breakfast. This is such an amazing team, community, and FAMILY! 🧡💙 Can’t believe Ricky is a senior and JD is a junior, but it will be fun, busy two years, and I’m so lucky to be involved! 🙏🏻❤️🦋 #apintforkim

'Hopefulness is not a neutral position. It is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism. Each redemptive or loving act, as small as you like – such as reading to your little boy... keeps the Devil down in the hole.'
Nick Cave.

It will be 5 years before our young @base_chicago musicians can use their college scholarships so @elmhurst_u gave these rising juniors and seniors full scholarships with room and board! It’s amazing what this “crazy” little music video program has become! 🥰❤️🥹 So grateful!
