One thing I know for sure....When God is prompting me to do something I get constant "reminders" . This was the case recently when I saw a unique opportunity present itself in several ways. I was intrigued and followed through by submitting an application for the first Women Rule Women's Leadership Summit sponsored by the O Magazine, American Express, and the White House Project--assuming I had nothing to lose! When I heard there were over 3000 applicants, I knew there was stiff competition and my chances of been selected were slim. I figured preparing the application and putting my vision onto paper was beneficial and a lesson learned. I was overwhelmed when I received word that I was one of 80 women chosen nationwide--the only person from WY and one of three from the Rocky Mountain Region. I will attend the Women Rule Summit in New York City in June where I will join other visionaries and participate in training led by exceptional women leaders. They will help me develop my dream for a multi tenant non-profit center for our community. As the demand on the clinic and other non profits in our community continue to increase, I envision a shared space where we can better meet the needs of our clients while being better stewards of the resources entrusted to us.

I am in awe when I reflect on my life in Cheyenne and the journey that has brought me here. I never, ever could have fathomed the challenges I would face, the opportunities I have been given, and how utterly amazing it is when God brings a person out of her brokenness and into her passion. I am so blessed.
