“In a pretty divisive and tense world, The Lemonade Stand is the perfect antidote. It is equal parts smart, optimistic, fun, and funny. I was inspired when I read it and plan to keep it nearby to read it again. Some of the stories are heartbreaking but always with a hero’s ending. Don’t miss this little slice of happiness!”

You are my morning ritual, get my coffee, take my meds, let the dogs out and read your inspirational words of the day. You always seem to speak directly to me. What I need to hear when I need to hear it. With you there is no feeling bad for yourself, everything happens for a reason and then you move forward. “Forward is a pace” is what I remember when you first started talking about running. I think you said you might not be the fastest runner but you kept moving forward, mile after mile. No matter what is thrown my way, I know I can go through it, when in it it’s overwhelming, but I know that I will come out on the other side and look back and say ” Wow, that was hard.” My main way of thinking is always be the woman who straightens the other woman’s crown. I have always lived to lift other women up and know that you do this to. I don’t think you know how important you are to so many people, but now, with this format, you certainly will! XOXOXO
