Be honest... have you ever thought it would be cool to be able to say "I knew ____ before they became famous"? Have you ever daydreamed about who you know that might "make it big" one day? I have. And I can say, I know some rising stars.
Years ago, I babysat for a family who's oldest son is now the lead singer of a band that is considered to be up and coming. His band has been on Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Early Show, and Rachel Ray among a few others. They have also been the opening act for Switchfoot (a rock band for those of you who don't know). I will be honest, rock music is not my thing so I don't listen to them, but hey, to each his own.
That said, the rising stars I am most proud to know are some women I met shortly after moving to Florida. They are the co-founders of the group where my children take their Lego class. They also have a heart for children and families and are in the process of writing a book on the topic. This morning, I attended the first part of a five part workshop they are hosting and I am so happy I went. Not only did I take away some very useful techniques (which I've already started to implement), but I got to watch them in action. I can guarantee you, these two ladies will be impacting families and children in a HUGE way! If you want to follow them they have a blog at www.powerlaunch.wordpress.com.
