My family and I have received some wonderful care lately. We’ve received incredible support from our friends and even many strangers. The support has included spiritual, mental, and financial.

Last week, I had entered a contest to win a ticket. I'm not in a financial position to buy one, but I certainly could try and win one.
I did win. Boy, did that contest change my life.

To be honest, we've been following your story and we'd be more interested in having you on stage to give a Talk than sitting in our audience. We know you have some interesting ideas worth spreading of course!"
I was filled with joy! I am still filled with joy! My mind hasn't stopped thinking about what to say and how to say it.
I've expressed this before. I'll continue to feel this way. Thank you for walking with me on this journey.
Speak the truth, even if your voice shakes.
