A talk with teens :)

Brian & I recently went to visit Cumberland Regional High School in Cumberland County NJ to talk with a group of teenagers involved in the Future Business Leaders of America club, about the March of Dimes.   In all honesty Brian did all the talking.  I was more like his cheerleader.  But still..   This particular branch of FBLA raised the most money for the March of Dimes last year.  We were excited to talk to them & encourage them to keep helping March of Dimes & their mission.  They were a great group of kids.  Brian shared Emily & our story through a power point presentation.   The response was really great from the kids, we even got a chance to promote our book a little.   Although that certainly wasn't the "reason" for the visit,  we were grateful for the opportunity to share,  "A Life Begun" with others.   We love sharing her story,  because it is truly a remarkable one.   We are proud of Emily & her incredible fight to survive her very early arrival.   We can't believe how far she's come,  if you would like to read her story.... you can get a copy of the book, A Life Begun via the internet on Barnes & Nobles, Amazon or a hard back copy through the website, www.lulu.com  Anyway- thanks for stopping by.  Have an incredible day!

The Latest Review! :)

"A Life Begun" (the book Brian wrote about Emily) latest review: "If you are afraid of getting emotionally wrapped up in a book, you might want to avoid this story, but as long as you are fine with that, grab a box of tissues and a comfy chair (you might not be able to put the book down), and be prepared for a glimpse into what it takes to bring a micro preemie into this world. Hold on tight as you experience an emotional roller coaster full of love, fear, anger, faith and mo...re. Full Disclosure: I am the insensitive jerk in chapter 6 that made a poorly worded comment the first time I saw Emily. Even though I was (and still am) a friend of the Author and his family at the time that this story took place, I was unaware of just how challenging it had been before reading “A Life Begun”. Brian tells his story with emotions that most people don’t share with the public. This really is a must read, especially for those of us who brought a child into this world the traditional way."
