No More Fear

Fear. Fear has held me back most of my life. Fear of what people think. Fear of being good enough. Fear of failing. Five years ago, I took a leave of absence from my job to begin speaking and sharing my story. I made a website, wrote a book, and began speaking. The one thing I haven’t done is promote and market myself. Marketing is hard. Especially when you’re marketing yourself. But, I have decided I need to put fear in the back seat and just do it. But, I need your help. I need your help getting my name out there. Getting my website out there. God called me to start speaking 20 years ago and I need to get going. If your church, youth group, women’s group needs a speaker, either in person or virtually, I would love to share how God saved my life multiple times.

I also want to have a Praise Up event when Covid calms down and give people a platform to share their stories. There are so many of you who have a story that would give people hope. Have you ever felt that you were supposed to share your story? If so, send me a DM and let’s make it happen.

In addition, I want to pursue getting the book Eli and I wrote, “My Sister is Sick, What about Me?” published. This book gives a voice to siblings of sick kids. There are so many books out there for sick kids, but hardly any for their siblings. We want them to know that we see them and know that having a sick sibling is hard on them too.

I have an independent publisher that wants to partner with me, but right now, money is extremely tight. If you would like to help me with this endeavor you can donate on my website, www.praiseup.org.

Again, I will travel anywhere to share about God and how he changed my life. Or, I can do a virtual event. Thank you so much as I take a step out of the boat and start marketing myself. Stay tuned for more information on my first “Praise Up” event.
