After 11 days and 4 trips across the United States, I’m back home in Santa Barbara for an extended period of time. Beyond missing Kim, Emma, and Mia – it just feels really good to be back in my own home.

This past week I was in Washington DC doing some work for an organization called the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation. Meso, as I’ve learned that it is called, is a form of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. Before this week I pictured lots of 70 year-old men that worked in factories getting this disease. I’ve since learned that millions and millions and millions of homes and thousands of schools in the US and hundreds of products we use in our everyday lives contain asbestos. In fact, I learned because my childhood elementary school was built on a landfill containing asbestos that I could be at risk. Pretty scary stuff to say the least. Anyway, I just wanted you to know how I spent my week and the extraordinary people I met that showed me what true courage is.
