That is the day I filed my Articles of Incorporation for this little project that would become Holding the Hope.  I never dreamed that it would last this long and turn into something this cool.  Over the past 20 year I have met some incredible people and learned some amazing things.    Here are some highlights of what I've learned so far that you may be able to apply to whatever project you have going:

• When you are doing what you're called to do, you won't get benched. 
• People are good.
• Being an entrepreneur is the best way to experience personal growth
• Huge mistakes can be overcome.
• I cannot control what other people say about me or think about me.
• Ask for the changes you want, because someday those "changes" will be routine and help others.
• We don't have to do this alone.
• People won't know things about me, unless I tell them.
• It's ok to use pictures from when I was younger and thinner

Listen - It has been such an honor to bring this message of recovery and Hope to the world.  We will be celebrating a LOT, so stay tuned.  There will be prizes.  I mean really cool stuff is coming your way.   

Until then, you know what to do, right?  STAY HOPEFUL!
