Reach for Your Dreams, Graduate (2005)
Product Description:
Discover the success secrets and defining moments of individuals from history and today like Bethany Hamilton (shark attack survivor) , Rebecca St. James (recording artist), Paul Hamm (First US Men's all around gymnast Olympic champion), and Mother Theresa, among many other real-life heroes.
Most people know that Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote Little House on the Prairie. But how many are aware that she didn't begin writing her first book until she was 65 years old? Or that Babe Ruth didn't learn to play baseball until he was sent to a reform school for delinquent youth? Or that it took Thomas Edison more than 11,000 failed attempts before his first light bulb worked?
Through these extraordinary behind-the-scenes tales, told in a style reminiscent of Paul Harvey's "The Rest of the Story," graduates will be inspired to face the future with a renewed sense of faith and courage.
Reach for Your Dreams is more than just a book of true storiesit is a living testament to the staggering power of passion and persistence when ordinary people resolve to follow extraordinary dreams.

I'm a writing mom on a mission! To learn how to balance my family and spiritual life while pursuing a writing career.
To help me on my journey, I started  and invited some friends in similar situations along for the ride. It's turned into a something bigger than I could have dreamed. If you feel your writing life is interrupted, don't hesitate to join our growing community!
I also started the  so writers could have a place to showcase their writing posts and readers could find great posts all in one stop. The carnival posts on the 4th Monday of every month.
And now there's an official Writer...Interrupted Community!
Visit Writer...Interrupted
Join Writer...Interrupted: The Community
I've been writing non-fiction for over twenty years with published credits including over 300 articles in the United States and abroad in Nigeria, Africa where I spent over six months and two co-authored books, Reach for your Dreams, Graduate and Anytime Prayers for Everyday Moms.
When I'm not homeschooling or carting my four kids around, you can find me at my favorite coffee show working on my WIPs.

It's been a while since I've been here, but I've been busy writing and updating my other site. Plus this time of year seems to be one project after the other at school and you know the old saying, "20% of the people do 80% of the work." Well, guess ...

Join me in getting to know some of your favorite people here at Shoutlife:
Welcome to the 2008 edition of getting to know your friends. Okay, here's what you're supposed to do--BUT ONLY IF YOU HAVE A SPARE MINUTE! Copy this entire comment and paste into a new comment that you can send, change all the answers so that they apply to you.

Hi, Gina. Thank you so much for the friendship add. As a Pastoral intern, learning to love people more than I ever have, this isd an awesome opportunity to get in here and really dig my heals into loving others. I am learning SO much about just being relational and how much that alone helps so many people. It's amazing to me how just the simplest thing as actually telling someone you care can REALLY make all the difference. So not only am I honored to be your friend, I also count this as "homework" from God, only in this class you don't fail, you just get to take the exam over again until you pass. :)
I hope these words find you well and are an encourage to you that God LOVES you so much!
God bless you!
Future pastor here in training,
John
