  I have some really exciting news that I have been wanting to share: Over 3 months ago I was asked to write a children’s book for the company that I work for. I was honored but totally shocked and afraid. I decided to face my fears and I wrote the book. I was given the awesome opportunity to personally meet and walk with Mayor Jeff Longwell and present my idea to a few groups of people in hopes that they would support our efforts to motivate children to get outside and be more active!

   For abou
t 1 1/2 months now I have been waiting to hear back from the Wichita Health & Wellness Coalition about the grant I applied for in order to fund the book's illustrated as well as distribute them to Wichita Public libraries and to all the children in the Head Start programs here in Wichita.
*I am no longer affiliated with Child Start.

​     ​Today, I was floored when I finally received an email with the news I had hoped for!! After personally meeting the mayor and pitching our outdoor initiative project, THE MAYOR APPROVED MY GRANT!! I cannot put in words how absolutely enamored I was! There is still so much work for my team and I have to accomplish before the project is complete, but I am absolutely filled with appreciation and happiness. This is nothing like anything I have ever experienced and I am so excited and truly humbled! Hard work really does pay off. This is proof that you CAN do ANYTHING that you put your mind to! 

UPDATE: The children's book mentioned in this article is now available! Click Here to find out more.
