What I vow to do in 2012

“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.” ~Eleanor Roosevelt We’re only hours away from celebrating a new year. I’m thankful that we’ve reached the end of 2011. The year has been […]

Elaine - You, and Chance, are already great inspiration to many people; I think what you are planning will hopefully challenge many people to dig down a little deeper for more inner strength to not just endure, but to live life to the fullest! Good Luck! I know you will reach your goal!

Ella Konopacki - Hi Amanda,

you are very insprational and I would love to support you if there is a way for me to do so. You and your family are in my thoughts a lot, especially now that I am pregnant again myself.

Kisses for little Chance and hi to your family.

Autumn

This past week I got to meet Francesco & Heidi’s brand new little girl, Autumn. She was born only about a week before Christmas and I met her at just five days old. Adorable. Precious. Danty…and yes, perfect. I adored every moment spending time with this little peanut…I think you all will agree she’s beautiful. […]

Denise - Please keep your positive outlook for Chance. His future is wide open and filled with many possibilities. I know because 27 years ago my son, Ryan, was born with Spina Bifida. He is currently a PhD student at Loyola University in Chicago. His goal is to be a college professor. When he was born they told us he would have learning disabilities – wwll he has proven many people wrong over the years. His best attribute is his positive attitude, he lets nothing keep him down!

I have clung to Jerimiah 29:ll throughout Ryan’s life – “for I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord . . . plans to give you hope and a future”

Caiden’s little sister

“That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in His own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude.” –Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin Just […]
