Achieving Dreams

Yesterday I achieved a goal I have had for quite some time. I presented at the Ontario Association of Infant & Child Development Conference at Caesar’s Windsor. It was my first time presenting at a conference and surprisingly I wasn’t all that nervous. The topic was Our Journey: Finding Hope and Courage Through Family Centered Care.  It was a small audience but that’s okay since it was my first time. It went over very well and several people told me it was their favourite of the whole conference. That was very pleasing and humbling.  Oh and I should say that Corbin gave me permission to share some of his story. In his words, “people need to know”.  I hugged him for that one.

In case you are one of the people that heard me speak – welcome. I also thought it would be easier if I put a link to one of the pieces I wrote but didn’t have copies for you at the conference.

The War I Want to Wage

I hope you will stick around, ask questions and enjoy reading about our journey.
