✨ Just had the absolute pleasure of speaking to a group of amazing kids from Program about dyslexia. 🗣️ This was such a special experience, and it truly reminded me why I wrote Tangled Words in the first place: to show kids they are never alone in this journey. 💛

We often talk about the challenges of dyslexia, but I wanted these bright minds to see the incredible strength and problem-solving superpowers it can bring. What they might not realize is that their energy and thank-you notes filled me with so much inspiration today. 📚✨ It’s moments like this that make me want to keep writing stories that connect and empower.

Thank you for reminding me why I do what I do. 💖 And to anyone out there struggling: you are stronger than you know and absolutely unstoppable! 🚀
