We were thrilled this morning to see that actor Jim Parsons posted a selfie of himself wearing the Texas Home T on Instagram. You may recall that he is the star of the hit TV show Big Bang Theory on CBS. Take a look at his photo below. How cool is that? 

Think about great cities in the United States. Places such as New York, San Francisco, Atlanta and Austin may have come to mind. But are people in these “popular” cities happy? Sure, folks that live in these places are happy, but are they living in the happiest cities in the United States? Nope. Not even close. 

The Home T donates a portion of profits to multiple sclerosis research.

Knowing that we make the donation and where the funds go is one thing, but to see the dollars in action is another.

Recently, we attended an event with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society where we had the chance to speak with Dr. Timothy Vartanian and his colleagues at New York Presbyterian, and to also possibly inspire others to donate.

We’ve been part of baby announcements, marriage proposals, family photos, and more.

One thing we especially love is helping military families share the awesome news that they are moving back home. The most recent example of this was submitted by Rebecca. Her short note is below.

“What does home mean to you?”

It’s a question that came up in a recent conversation and it was great to hear what different people think of when they hear the word home.

We knew what the people in the original conversation though of when they thought of “home,” but we were curious about some of our customers thoughts so we asked the same question on our Facebook page.

We receive a good number of messages.

Some are customer service related. Some are from folks just saying hi. Some are from other entrepreneurs asking questions.

The topics are all over the place and we’re always happy to receive them and respond. But there are certain messages that make us pause and slow things down for just a bit. A good example is the message below from Katrina.

One thing is almost guaranteed to happen when the weather starts to warm in New York City: people start wearing color. It happens like clockwork.

You’re always going to see people wearing black in the city, but as you’ll see below, color is starting to pop up all over the place.

Enjoy this glimpse of fashion in New York City.

There’s no doubt about it. Winter was pretty epic for a vast majority of the country, but it appears the weather has finally started to get it’s act together in New York City!

I went on a walk recently during one of the warmer days, and snapped a few photos along the way. I’ll share them with you below.

Around this time each year, multiple sclerosis (MS) fundraising walks take place all around the country. It’s an inclusive event that a wide range of people can take part in to help raise funds for multiple sclerosis initiatives.

Earlier this month I received the following email from Stephanie,

“I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis just over 4 years ago when I was 19 years old. I was a sophomore in college at the time and my whole world was changed over the course of a few days. Since then, my family and friends have participated in the Walk: MS Boston each year. My college roommate and I started the Boston University Multiple Sclerosis Society about a year after I was diagnosed and then graduated college about a year after that, so our team name for the Walk has actually been different every year.”
