Making a (BIG)
Difference a review by J.B. Blocker
I had heard about a book featuring several
lady acquaintances from McKinney, Texas. The North Dallas community has blossomed over the past 20 years to become a nationally recognized Best Place to live in many categories.
Last week I obtained a copy. The two organizer/authors are Sheila Johnson and Michelle Prince who I have known casually for several years. When I sat down to read it, I expected a good read. I didn’t put the book back down except for more coffee.
More communities should raise up leadership and encourage more open involvement.
I am a fan of collections of short stories that make a point and leave an impression. You can order a copy from Amazon at this link.

The real surprise was not just the range of
blessings and challenges each of the dozen paths had crossed and taken. I
expected some variety. It was the fact that as a collection the range of
inspiration was not just deep and wide, but was also much bigger than McKinney. And the book is not just for women. I thought
of my mom and several others as I visited each personal story.
These ladies didn’t do inspirational things
without the help of others who also believed, supported, and encouraged them whether
parents, siblings, and even outsiders. I like to think that we are surrounded by opportunities to be Assistant
Guardian Angels. Even assisting Guardian Angels counts in my book.
