I held a book signing in my hometown over Memorial Day weekend. There was a write up about it in all the local newspapers. It was so cool how many people actually came out and bought books. I had high school counselors and teachers and other faculty members show up who I hadn't seen or heard from since high school. People from all over the community showed up and offered words of encouragement. I live in a very, very small town where everybody knows everybody. It's amazing how much support you get from people who really love seeing a young person doing something positive.

I wanted to share this with you guys because I was just so overwhelmed by all the love I got this past weekend. I just wanted to say that it's a blessing to have good people around you who support you and don't bring you down. Because all those people have made me work even harder to make my dreams reality. I have big dreams of doing big things and shining a light on the great people who had my back.

Just wanted to share that.

1 luv
