A Secret Garden




One of my favorite blogs, Women Doing More, highlighted a story today of a little girl, Stephanie, who had a wish granted through Make a Wish of Utah, where I once volunteered. The story and photos of her wish are in the lobby of the MAW center. Her unique "secret garden" wish, and the fact that she made a will (that included her gel pens), was undoubtedly one of the most touching stories I ever heard during my time there.




Go here for a news clip about Stephanie's magical garden. You'll be glad you did.



Thank goodness for spring!
