POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

It’s been almost 10 years since I last stepped foot on the campus of @delawareccc. The last time was in 2017, for a building dedication in my dad’s honor. We lost him the following year.

I grew up at this college from when I was baby to tagging along as a toddler to taking weekend classes in calligraphy, French, and theater. This place has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.

So returning for the annual scholarship luncheon was emotional in ways I hadn’t anticipated.

It was wonderful to reconnect with people who knew and loved my dad, hear stories about his impact, and see how much of his philosophy lives on. As the college approaches its 60th anniversary, it was especially meaningful to see its new president carrying forward that same belief in education, community, and opportunity.

My dad believed education could change lives. And so do I.

I recognize how fortunate I was to grow up surrounded by people who valued education, encouraged curiosity, and gave me opportunities not available to everyone. None of us chooses the circumstances we’re born into, and the playing field has never been equal.

My dad once said:

“The goal is to see students complete their programs, getting them past everyday hurdles and personal constraints that sometimes get in the way of success.”

Hard work alone doesn’t always open doors. Sometimes someone just needs to hold one open.

That’s why our family’s scholarship in his memory means so much. Meeting this year’s recipient, hearing her story, and seeing her determination was the highlight of our visit. She has such a bright future, and I know my dad would be so proud.

I could feel his presence everywhere yesterday. What a beautiful thing to see his legacy continue to open doors 💙

Pre-cruise nights in Istanbul at the @fssultanahmet, steps from the Hagia Sophia & Blue Mosque, this former prison has cleaned up very nicely. The perfect start before sailing with @amawaterways.

It was close to 20 years ago when I first came to Istanbul, as well as a very different experience. We were driving across Europe, about midway through our seven-week trip. Definitely stayed in a hostel, so this was quite the upgrade! It was nice to see it again all grown up. This country has a lot to offer, so I look forward to coming back to keep exploring 🇹🇷

Cappadocia from above: volcanic valleys, fairy chimneys, and 150+ balloons dotting the sky. Fear of heights aside, this was pure magic and proof that you can do it too!

We had the best balloon pilot brought out for this ride by my local tour partner @itemtravelturkey who helped customize our whole stay, which was amazing. #traveladvisor

Pro Tip: stay a few nights since the balloons only go when the weather is just right and it gives you a few chances in case. Some people couldn’t fly the following day and left zero chance to try again on a limited stay. There is a lot to do to warrant staying longer.
