The Walk was a Success!
Well the Making Strides walk today was a huge success for the "We Can Do It" team thanks to everyone that came out to join us and to everyone that donated to the cause. We were able to hit our $1000 goal and that was really cool! Thank you so much to everyone that donated!
The walk was in Balboa Park and the place was packed with people all with one cause in mind...put an end to breast cancer. AMEN!! There were some pretty funny shirts, lots of funny wigs, boas and tons of pink. Even for someone like me that hates pink it was pretty cool to see it all there for such a good reason.
I was not feeling up to doing the 4 mile walk today but Joni hung back with me and we did some rosary time while we waited and then joined the gang to cross the finish line. My heart is so full with joy with all of the friends and family that were able to come and make it such a special and memorable day. Thank you...I love you all! Here are some fun pics from today:

FaceTime with my Awesome Teens at Church
So tonight was a first for me, I have taught confirmation for many years but I have never done it virtually before! Thanks to my awesome small group of kids and my totally great Core Team leaders because they did not give up on me when my need to stay away from germs kept me from being there in person tonight. They managed to set up a FaceTime session and not only did I get to work with them on their lesson but I got to see all of their wonderful faces and smiles! This is such a special group of kids and I am so blessed to share this faith journey with them as they prepare for their Confirmation. They sent me a great selfie and then I was able to screen shot them during our talk tonight. Sure do love this kids so much! Soul feeding day and evening for sure. Many Blessings!

Kendall and Christian are big time into CrossFit and their gym out in Poway did a Breast Cancer Workout so in keeping with the pink theme I thought I would share this as well!

Katya is such a blessing to me. Her leadership skills and dedication to our group is making it possible for me to continue teaching. She is so mature and I am so thankful to have her!! Thanks for doing the walk that day Erin and for pulling together some of our prayer group friends as well, you are all so special to me. XO
