Live from the Windy City......

Here I am in Chicago. A reality I am still trying to grasp. This started as a bit of pipe dream and now I sit in the midst of such an amazing event that I am still in awe of and overwhelmed by. It is so inspiring to see parents, educators, and physicians come together for a common good. No boundaries, no judgments, no glorified egos. I am in the middle of a group of people who just want to help those they love. They might be children, grandchildren, friends, patients, students, or a total stranger they have yet to meet. It does not matter. All that matters is that whoever it is will benefit from the knowledge provided here. I love that I can stand next to a doctor and give my story and opinion and it carries just as much weight. The faces and voices here have given me that kick in the butt to keep moving forward. I have only just begun my journey, but I have a wonderful army of trailblazers in front of me lighting the path.

I meet a most generous woman tonight who took her son’s story and turned it into a business that’s sole purpose is to help others. She was insightful, encouraging, and an inspiration. I have added her link to the reading and resources section at the bottom of this page…..please check it out! www.watchmelearn.com After talking to her for a while about my background in, and ideas for, marketing, she actually offered me a job when I am ready to go back to work!!! It’s something to think about for sure.

I am just so thankful to be here and able to take advantage of all that is offered here. I have been reassured that we are on the right path with Sam and are doing our best to help her.
So, thank you to those who supported me getting here. I will be forever grateful for all of you. Whether your contribution was financial, being available for Matt and Sam while I am gone, or just in prayers and support. You have made this happen for me and I am indebted to you.
