The Soldier and the Squirrel introduces children to the Purple Heart

through a loving story of a friendship between a newly wounded soldier

and Rocky the squirrel with his backyard friends. This story began as a

blog during my first year in bed after my incident. With much

encouragement, it is now a book and has been placed in the

Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum. Please watch the video

on the About page to learn for the Soldier & Rocky are changing children's

lives.

Bride 101

DateThursday, May 23, 2013 at 11:33PM


Instead of raising daughters to dream

of the perfect wedding.

Costing thousands of dollars.

That lasts a day.

Raise them to dream of their perfect life.

To search for their heart before dress.

Find their identity before a prince.

Reach for the stars before a ring.

Toss their hair before a bouquet.

Say I did before I do.

Walk the talk before the aisle.

Get married on a beach with twelve people

and no shoes.

Instead of gifts a honeymoon.

Cherish the favors they leave behind.

And you will have the perfect bride.
