BLUE RIDGE HOPEFUL I GREW UP IN MARTINSVILLE, VIRGINIA. THIS DELIGHTFUL CITY IS NESTLED IN THE STATE'S SOUTHWEST AND IS GRACED BY THE BREATHTAKING BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS. THESE MOUNTAINS HAVE ALWAYS INSPIRED ME WITH THEIR STUNNING BEAUTY AND REMINDED ME OF THE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES AND AFTER EARNING MY COLLEGE DEGREES IN ELEMENTARY AND SCHOOL SUPERVISION. I EMBARKED ON AN INCREDIBLE 34-YEAR JOURNEY DEDICATED TO THE NOBLE WORK OF EDUCATING YOUNG PEOPLE ACROSS ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE, AND HIGH SCHOOLS. / TAKE IMMENSE PRIDE IN KNOWING / HAVE CONTRIB-UTED TO THE EDUCATIONAL GROWTH OF COUNTLESS YOUNG INDIVIDUALS THROUGHOUT VIRGINIA. FUELED BY THE MAJESTIC BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS, WHICH HAVE ALWAYS APPEARED IN THE DISTANCE WHILE I LIVED AND WORKED IN DIFFERENT PLACES IN VIRGINIA, AND FORTIFIED BY MY PERSONAL JOURNEY OF SURVIVING CANCER, I FELT COMPELLED TO WRITE THIS BOOK, "BLUE RIDGE HOPEFUL.".THIS WORK REFLECTS MY STEADFAST BELIEF IN THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF MAINTAINING A POSITIVE ATTITUDE, NO MATTER THE CHALLENGES WE FACE. IT'S A CELEBRATION OF RESILIENCE AND HOPE JUST LIKE EVERY LIFE LESSON I SURVIVED TO IMPART TO STUDENTS. I AM THRILLED TO SHARE THE BOOK'S MESSAGE TO EMBRACE LIFE'S JOURNEY WITH OPTIMISM AND STRENGTH.
