Hello! Thank you first of all, for taking the time and appreciation to look at our newly-formed blog. As we work on our Girl Scout Gold Award project we hope to keep everyone updated, whether we are simply brainstorming ideas or submitting our book,Walking with Grace, for publishing, our troop wants everyone to feel like a part of the process. Here is some background information about our project...
Walking with Grace was inspired by our dear friend and fellow girl scout Abigail Grace Tsumas, known to us as Abbey. Abbey passed away on October 31st, 2009 in a car accident and though she isn't with us now she is a constant inspiration to us in our day-to-day lives. There simply isn't a way to describe Abbey, she had a smile that could light up a room and a passion for life that could make anyone jealous. Abbey was the kind of friend who lifted you up when you were down and made you laugh until you cried.
As a memorial to our dear friend and fellow scout, our troop is writing and publishing a childrens book entitled Walking with Grace. The story of Walking with Grace is one of everlasting friendship, in which a girl has an influence over everyone she met, whether she knows them for 5 years or 5 minutes. Our vision for the book is that it captures the essence of Abbey's life and helps not only children but also adults realize the impact they can have on others.
All of the proceeds from the book will go to the Grace for Pets foundation, a foundation created in Abbey's memory. Inspired by Abbey's love of animals, especially dogs, the foundation raises money to help animals in need.
