I’ve been visiting a ton of campuses this semester, sharing TOMS and the idea of a One for One business model with students all over the country. I really enjoy getting to meet all the young people who are wearing their TOMS on campus everyday, and I’m excited to know that telling the TOMS story is inspiring new individuals to be lifetime supporters of One for One. Last night at Purdue University, over 1,000 people came out and it was one the biggest crowds they have ever had! It’s such a great natural high to connect with these students. You can tell these are the people who going to change the world!
But I definitely appreciate the quiet hours on the flights. Looking out over the blanket of clouds is wonderful and meditative. I saw 4 sunrises from my window seat this week (yes, that means I had 4 days of 5 am wake up calls, I admit I’m a little tired!). I also downloaded a ton of music on iTunes while one of my flights was delayed, and I am currently in love with: Skinny Love by Bon Iver, Kids by MGMT, The National Boxer by Fake Empire, and Furr by Blitzen Trapper.
Now I’m headed back to LA- for only 48 hours- and could not be more excited to see the TOMS staff at HQ and dress up for Halloween…. This year I’m dressing up as “Where’s Waldo” which I think is quite fitting. No one ever knows where I am!

haha, Where’s Waldo. I am studying as a student and intern with Focus Leadership Institute, with Focus on the Family, and my roomate is from New Zealand. We were out shopping for Halloween costumes and realized that one of our classmates would make a perfect Where’s Waldo. But when we mentioned it my roomate from New Zealand was really confused. Apparently in New Zeland, they refer to Waldo as Wally?!?! I also died as everyday is a new experience with her, all the way from food to language.
