If the destruction of the East Wing of the White House doesn't break your heart, I worry about your love of America and our history.

I really wish Aaron Sorkin was writing this season of the United States.

Rumors at The New Theatre with Kerstin!

From 2010 to 2016 (latest data I have ), NIH research contributed to EVERY drug approved by the FDA

My daughter just got her official acceptance to the University of Missouri Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program. She has worked so hard and I’m so proud and excited for her. #Mizzou #MizzouDVM

I got these books for my 21 year old for Valentines Day. They were on her book wishlist. Couldn’t be prouder of this beautiful fierce force of nature!

Let’s go, Red Kingdom!

My current interior monologue: I told you so I told you so I cuss word cuss word told you so.

This is among the worst news for anyone looking for a cure to their disease.

Constant loop this past month: A) I’m so angry B) I’m so sad C) I’m so scared

Sounds like the fourth of July here in Chiefs Kingdom. On to New Orleans!

A trade war is still a war, right?

Don't close your eyes to the horror but still look for the joy wherever you can see it.

Today my daughter had her interview for the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program at Mizzou. This has been her dream since she was six years old and she has worked so hard to reach this point. I am so incredibly proud of her.

Happy MLK day. May we all be judged by the content of our character.

When I say I love books, this is what I mean.

A Kansas City story: I went to (now closed) Hickman Mills HS in Kansas City. In my 4 years, we lost one regular season football game. Every year when we hit post season, we ran up against Rockhurst High School. (1/3)

I keep reminding myself we don’t just vote in elections. We also vote with our dollars and attention.

I walk around the house like the ghost of Christmas past turning off the overhead lights my home from college daughter leaves on. (No hard lights when there is a lit Christmas tree in every room but the bathrooms!)

My daughter is home from college for the holidays. I’m cozy sitting and reading in the glow of the Christmas lights. I’m listening to the low hum of chatter with spikes of laughter from the basement where she is hanging out with her boyfriend. So content.

I love my job supporting the University of Kansas at KU Endowment. However, as a mom of Mizzou senior, I’m excited that after a challenging week she gets to celebrate a win. #Miz #KU

For those of you who haven’t had the privilege of visiting, this is what a part of Kansas City looks like. It’s a gorgeous and diverse place. #KansasCity

I left “X” quite a bit ago. Imagine my delight to sign up and discover many of the creators I’d lost track of right here.
