- My favorite article to work on one was “Nikki Sasso and Josie Morinville Reflect on the Power of Dance.” It was such an honor to sit down and talk with these two young ladies and learn how they have turned personal obstacles into opportunities to lift the community up. They were an inspiration. – Wendi Agalzoff
- My favorite story was about Jen and Thomas Stevens overcoming debt. I personally have known Jen for over 20 years and I was so inspired by her discipline and drive to accomplish what seemed like an impossible feat. I loved their positivity and outlook for the future. – Lisa Lamping, founder
- I enjoyed Wendi Agalzoff’s story of Claire Ogren. I liked it because it gave a really positive picture of Claire as a right person doing that job. Also, the article had nice perspective about how the residents liked her. The story was very inspirational and well written. – Annamaria Morrill
