December 2025 Newsletter

Hello and welcome!  

The good news and positive impacts keep coming this holiday season!  My third book, K.D.’s Journey, was selected to win an Ella’s Way award!  I’m honored and ecstatic to share that all three of my published children’s books have won awards!!!

A heartfelt thank you to Ella’s Way and Inner Peace Press for giving me the opportunity to pursue and achieve my dreams.

On Dec 1, I partnered with Texas Roadhouse to host a Dine to Donate event, creating a meaningful opportunity to raise awareness, visibility, and funds for a donation package of children’s books benefiting a school, church, hospital, or child development facility in York County and the surrounding community. If you missed it, the event was even featured on the Williamsburg Yorktown Daily website!

Despite the frigid temperatures, the warmth and generosity of our community shone brightly. While we’re still awaiting the final total from the Dine to Donate program, many generous, community-minded supporters contributed directly to Ella’s Way that evening. In total, we raised $108 from book sales and direct donations!

Following the event, Sherry and Dave from Ella’s Way shared that the WYDaily.com article sparked interest from a local elementary school principal. Because of this support, not one, but TWO book packages will now be donated to organizations within the York County area and beyond!

If you have an interest in receiving a book package for a school, hospital, church, or other organization, please visit Ella’s Way and submit a request!
