A quick thank you to London Underground Shoes for helping keep my feets warm and comfy while I'm walking the NYC streets! Seriously, they've got some really great designs - check them out!

I also wanted to let you know about Kiva, a non-profit that allows you to lend as little as $25 to a specific low-income entrepreneur in the developing world.

You choose who to lend to - whether a baker in Afghanistan, a goat herder in Uganda, a farmer in Peru, a restaurateur in Cambodia, or a tailor in Iraq - and as they repay their loan, you get your money back. It's a powerful and sustainable way to empower someone right now to lift themselves out of poverty. Thank you to Ritzy Periwinkle for opening my eyes to Kiva!!

OK! That's it! Have a phenomenal week and see you soon! xoxoxo!

VLOG#1 When I was a little kid, I remember watching my big brothers do their fancy tricks on their skateboards. In fact, I was the "assistant" and my task was to roll the board under a ladder...and my brothers would take turns jumping on the moving board. Fast forward to now...and here's what happened after I purchased a skateboard for $6.50 at a neighborhood yard sale:

I've decided that every newsletter I send out, I'll not only include something music related and fun, but I'll also include information on some charity or organization that is making a difference in our world. Last time I focused on REGISTERING TO VOTE... And this time, I'd like to share with you a website that is seriously making moves in the right direction by creating opportunities for girls around the world. Please take a moment to learn more about THE GIRL EFFECT.

OK! I hope you've giggled a little, added Rendezvous Thursday to your calendar and learned something about helping hands... I'll be sending another one of these closer to CMJ where I'll be performing in NYC! That reminds me - If you're in NYC or will be around the time of CMJ (OCT 21-OCT 25), let me know! I'd love to meet up, mingle and sing for ya...

Have a great rest of your week! See you TOMORROW!!
