Jill- I can’t wait to tackle hug you! You have been my rock, keeping our blog going, giving Jenn and I space to write and taking over the reins. You stepped in and have been a blessing!
Cassandra- It’s been a fun ride and you make me smile every day with your posts and inspirational images. Enough said about that.
Shelton- We aren’t done yet, this is just the beginning. Thank you for taking a chance. You have become a great friend and I couldn’t imagine what the path would have been without you by my side. One to the next one, we got this!
Craig- When we met in Phoenix for the first time, I knew it was special. Your drive and charisma are an inspiration. I love bouncing ideas off you and you rebutting with a new challenge. You continue to push me to my goals in both life and in business. Thank you for being our “Ryan” and embracing this story. We hope it is an inspiration for people facing challenges and disabilities. Rise to Alpha is not just a name it’s a movement.
Jami- Thank you for being our Lydia. We hope to have done her justice and put a little of your spunk in her character. Keep smiling, your happy ending is coming soon.
To our awesome editor, Rebecca- Thank you for your wicked editing skills. You make me laugh at your commentary (and nervous in your silence) and we thank you for cleaning up our book and making it beautiful.
To my beautiful daughter Ariel- You are my life and my inspiration every day. You, above all, have had to deal with my crazy travel schedule, long late nights of writing, hushing you because I just needed to keep writing and missing me all the time, even when I was in the next room. I love you forever and always. Everything I do is for you.
To Julie Morgan- I love you woman. Being part of your street team has meant the world to me. You truly embrace your minions and have become a dear friend. You have pushed me, cheered me on, sprinted with me, and helped me in more ways than I can count. I am blessed to have you in my life. Not many people rise to the occasion or give back, but you do, every time, every day and embody the heart of the Indie Community. Never stop being awesome!
Last but certainly not least, my dear friend, my co-author, my sister in arms, Jennifer- Our paths crossed in a most unconventional manner, but something just clicked. Even before we actually met, we were bonded. You have a beautiful soul and I am glad you are a part of my life. You thought I would laugh and call you crazy when you brought this idea to me, but look at us now…we did it! On to Book Two…get writing woman! #familybychoice #wesharethesamecrazy
