2017 has been busy! I took on the role of webmaster for a local track and field site, pushed halfway through a master?s program, my track team finished top five at state for the fourth time in eight years, I released the Sprinter?s Compendium, and our family welcomed our second child Scarlett. Scarlett had a terrifying beginning where she spent weeks in the NICU and whispered talk of brain damage. However, I am happy to say much like her sister our baby girl has so far beaten the odds and now hitting all of the milestones expected for an infant five months in age. A lot of prayer, positive vibes, and love shared from every corner of the world genuinely made a difference. My family and I cannot express how much your support helped us keep things in perspective. I continued to be humbled by the kindness of humanity.
I learned a lot of lessons working as a webmaster and now a published author. As I promote, cheerlead, and reflect on the Sprinter?s Compendium, it is interesting to move into the world of paid ?gurus.? Five years of effort coming to completion has been gratifying. Going through the process, the learning curve has been steep. Again everyone has been very kind in their support and reviews of the book. I know nothing is perfect but completing the Sprinter?s Compendium (purchased here https://goo.gl/bwpRGy) gives me an immense sense of pride coming from someone who still struggles with dysgraphia.
Now, what seems like a standard end to my calendar year, I want to share with you all of the different places I have written, spoken, or presented throughout 2017. It is my hope you will find the links enclosed below to be a nice review, educationally stimulating, and peaks your curiosity deeper into the world of speed. Please don?t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions as it is my goal to mentor those whom desire it. Please share this story with those who you feel it could help. Happy New Year. Much love and hugs.
