Hello everybody!!

Super glad spring is in the air. I think it’s helping me recover. (Haven’t been feeling the best…)

I have been busy with the fundraising process and preparing for Nationals in August. There’s so much to do!

I am looking forward to meeting the Governor - very exciting!

I am also planning to talk to some elementary classes and a women’s group so I can tell my story and spread my message.

Until next month, “God Bless”!

Hello everyone, how are you?

I am great!

On February 21st, I had a lot of fun fundraising at Younkers in Lincoln for community day.

Now that all the snow has cleared up I’m looking forward to getting back into speaking engagements. If anyone knows of places I can network, please let me know!

February was short and sweet and I can’t wait to see what happens in March!

Thank you and see you next month.

Love,
