The last couple of months have been challenging, yet, rewarding. During a time that personally my life transformed in a number of ways, I have also been involved in an amazing project that brought me much comfort and fulfillment.
Many months ago I got involved in a book project in which I was not only a contributing author, but also the marketing director.
Little did I know that when I first got involved in the project I would be going through much of what I have. Because of the way everything has unfolded, this book has taken on a deeper meaning to me.
Myself and 37 other men and women have contributed to one of the most inspirational books you will find. In my chapter, Second Chances, I share about my teen years in which I made some very poor choices that led me down a road with little choice but to either keep going like I was or make some much needed changes and turn my life around.
I also share about how making different choices gave me a second chance to have an amazing relationship with my father. Again, little did I know when I wrote my chapter how much it would mean by the time the book was published.

I encourage you to get your own copy of this newly released book. It is a special book that will bring comfort during even the most challenging times in life.
Kathleen,
I can relate to your experience of not having any idea what being involved in the project would mean. A couple of months after I signed onto the project as an author, my father was diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma – a path that he is still walking with new experiences unfolding each day. The simple existence of this book and the people involved in it has been one of the things that has kept me uplifted so that I can uplift others.
Thank you so much for all of your hard work as marketing director. I have learned so much from you.
You truly walk your talk and put yourself out there in a way that is real and meaningful to others. I am blessed to be a part of this with you.
I’m excited that it’s finally time for others to be able to experience what we’ve been experiencing for much of the year!
Love, hugs, and smiles,
Nancie Benson
Kathleen, I truly appreciate your transparency. Sharing your experiences has helped me to appreciate my family, and the gifts they give me, even more.
