Women's World Magazine

Check out the August 18th issue that just came out today. I am featured in it on page 41. It is very exciting! The Friendship Tree that I started has been one of the most rewarding things I have ever done.

I have been having problems down loading pictures to posts in the thread. So I guess the picture in the magazine will have to be my post for the thread "what do you look like".

Hi Katie, just read the article and it was fantastic! Kudos to you and your network for all the great work you have done. Once our adoption is complete I would love to get in touch with you to discuss how I can implement something similar.

God bless you, you have made such a difference in so many lives.

Terri

P.S. Your little boy is adorable.

Terri, thank you for your kind words. I would love to share more information regarding the Friendship Tree with you when you are ready. I feel every community needs a Friendship Tree. If you email me at friendshiptreeny@aol.com, I can forward you our newsletter that comes out quarterly and you can keep up to date with what we are doing.

Anna, I don't have a link to the magazine article, however I do have the article on pdf. If you email me I can forward it to you. We do have a website Home. It is under construction and we hope to have it finished by the end of the weekend.

I am glad they choose the picture of Hunter with me for the article. The whole idea of the Friendship Tree came from our trips to Guatemala. Originally the goal was to give back to Guatemala. Then we saw the huge need in our own community. We are working on incorporating an international mission.

Katie
