On March 10, 2022 I was asked to teach a block on Autism for the Chaplains Conference, hosted by the Georgia Sheriff's Association. GSA has been amazing with helping me share my decal and backing me from the very beginning. I would not be where I am without them.
Anyway - I was scheduled to speak for 45 minutes and I ended up staying for an extra half an hour answering questions, sharing decals, and networking. When I wrapped up I said, "Would yall believe that this is only my second time doing this?" Everyone chuckled. Yall, they didn't believe me!
This particular speech was so much easier than the first, naturally. But also because the group was so interactive! One of the sweetest moments was when one of the Chaplains asked, "What do you need from us? How can we help you?" It was an incredible feeling. Almost as good as hearing from families how much they appreciate the decal.
On March 20 I was presented with a letter of commendation by the sitting Senior Chaplain, who also happens to be my Chaplain.
ps-- I'm supposed to hear about the trademark this month, fingers crossed!
