May282017

Over the past few years I have been fortunate to be both a speaker and attendee and several different conventions across the U.S. - speaking with Teach Them Diligently and attending the HEAV Convention in Virginia. It's been both amazing to share my heart but also receive and listen to speakers on a variety of … [Continue reading...]
