These wonderful people make it possible for me to achieve my dream. 

CAROLINE ADAMS MILLER 

"If you have someone who believes in you . . . you can increase your belief in your own skills and take risks that you might not otherwise take.”  - Caroline Adams Miller

Without a doubt, I would not be dancing around the world if I’d never known Caroline!!

During my search for meaning after Paul's death, I found Caroline’s book,Creating Your Best Life: The Ultimate Life List Guide. I loved the book! So, I emailed Caroline and asked if she’d help me on my journey, never really expecting to hear from her. To my amazement she not only wrote back but she agreed to help me.

I’ll never forget Caroline's response when I told her I wanted to dance around the world. “Hmmm . . . I’ve never heard anyone say that before. OK, let’s figure out how to do it”, as if there was never any doubt that I could do it. This is what makes her one of the most influential people in my life – she believed in me!

Since Caroline lives in Bethesda and I live in Minnesota, our meetings were always by phone. After knowing each other three years, we finally met when I was in Washington, DC. Just like on the phone, Caroline is warm and genuine, and she’s beautiful. We hugged, and fighting back tears, I was finally able to thank her in person for helping me find this new life that I love. 

ADAM FUCHS 

Caroline suggested I write a blog, which I tried to create on my  own, but I couldn't make it do everything I wanted. So, I placed an ad at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, hoping to hook up with a recent grad web designer. Adam responded. Wow!!! He's more than I'd ever imagined!

At our first meeting Adam showed me his creation, "Seymour's House of Uncommon Terrors".  Seymour traveled from room to terror-filled room when you moved your cursor. I've put in a few screen shots so you can see just how talented Adam is.

Seymour is so incredibly cute that I couldn't stop myself from saying, "Adam I want a Seymour!" to which he replied, "You can have one Karen!". Then he created Esperanza ("Hope" in Spanish). Isn't she absolutely adorable?

Working with Adam has been such a delight. He's been extremely supportive and hand-holding during the long time it's taken me to write this. Occasionally Adam would interject his own creative humor into my writings or emails that would catch me completely off guard, and I'd have fits of belly laughing until I cried. 

I am forever grateful, Adam!

Adam says:

“My philosophy is that everything goes better with a smile. By using design principles and artistic humor, my clients get their message across in a way that’s engaging. It not only brightens the reader’s day, but it also creates a bond between them and my client. And, because I’m having fun with what I do, I show up each day with a smile.”
