A Beautiful Gift

A Beautiful Gift

Oh my goodness, this is CRAAAZY!! Received this framed portrait in the mail today! One of the gentlemen, the incredible Ronald Dillard, who had invited me to Western Michigan University in 2017 as a Keynote Speaker on the topic of Resilience, commissioned a portrait of me for a book he was working on for students, and here it is!! I feel so completely honoured by this kind gesture. What an amazing gift! I can’t get over all the beautiful, inspiring people I’ve met along the way…my heart is full ❤❤
