Edmonton Journal Article – more than just media

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

On April 6, 2010 – my first ever “media/press” article was released for the book “You Are Sooooo Beautiful”.

Here is the Edmonton journal article
 
and here is the full interview blog
I am so thankful to Cam Tait from the journal for doing this for me. To be honest, I am feeling pretty special that he decided my story was news-worthy with all that is going on in the world.
It was very exciting to be featured in our local city paper and does offer a sense and feeling of accomplishment.
More than that, I met one of the most inspiring people I have ever met through this process. Cam Tait.
Cam sent me over email about 20 questions – questions that I really hadn’t thought of – questions that challenged me and hit me right at the core. I knew I wanted to meet with him and talk in person and actually thank him for creating such insight and awareness about the “why” behind my book.
I did get to meet Cam and I walked away from that meeting in gushing tears.
Cam Tait has been a journalist for over 30 years. His deep passion is kids recognizing their potential. He is hilarious. His energy and “air about him” are captivating and he is a person I could sit with for hours without saying a word. He is inspiring and radiates sheer kindness.
He has a grand story of his own. A very deep, inspiring and captivating story. Yet, Cam chooses to be of service to others and I have a feeling it is all about paying it forward to those that have helped him.
Oh yeah, and Cam Tait was born with cerebral palsy. He is beyond inspiring.
Thanks Cam for featuring me in your article and blog in a world full of amazing people, doing amazing things. Your kindness towards me and your interest in my story has been engraved on my heart.
