New Opportunities

    The first half of the year has gone fairly well and I seem to be making more of a difference than ever, but I would absolutely love for my calendar to be packed and to be able to present as much as possible just so that I can make a difference while I'm still young. 

    Yesterday, I presented to Saint Ursula Academy and they sent Thank You notes today, which were awesome to read and the notes might have been more impactful than any I've ever received because all the girls just spoke from their hearts and you could tell that my story had a big, meaningful impact on them.  It's amazing to know that I can still have that big of an effect on high school kids and I hope that I can keep it up for years to come because I plan on doing this for as long as I can make a difference.  What I also loved was the fact that I impacted most of them in more than one way, whether it be making good decisions, having faith, facing life's struggles, or anything else.

    Last week, I was asked to present to a high school that's three and a half hours south into Kentucky, so we're still trying to get all of that set-up and organized, which would be huge because then my name could spread to other schools down in that area and then hopefully around even more.  Like I said, hopefully that can kick-start my career in terms of traveling and get me to places that are farther away so I can continue to make a difference, but I'll still always present to the local schools that I do regularly. 

Wish me luck and don't hesitate to ask about having me out to present to your school or anywhere!

End of Winter and Spring

Bengals made the playoffs because they're the most incredible franchise in the history of professional sports, which means Carson Palmer has to be on suicide watch somewhere.........  haha.

I'm presenting to a driving school in Cincinnati twice a month and I have a few presentations set-up for the next few months, but not nearly as many as I'd like, and I think it's because schools are so broke that they're afraid to ask people to come in, but I could care less about the money because I do it to make a difference and to have a positive impact on kids.  I'm presenting a few times every few months to nursing students at Children's Hospital and University Hospital, which is awesome to me because it's going back to where it all started for me after the wreck and I feel like I can maybe help nurses better understand what a patient might be going through (not that I know what anyone else is thinking, feeling, or going through, but I know how it was for me in that situation).

Other than that, I'm just lifting three times a week just to try and get better physically, plus I'm a huge beefcake ;-) 

I'm still very open to presenting to high schools, colleges, youth groups, churches, or wherever, and I'd love to travel, so don't hesitate to ask.
