What if you were just told you had a terminal illness that would totally take away your ability to walk, talk, and function on your own? Would you continue to walk that journey with a smile on your face?
That's what Chris Douglas did, husband to our guest today on Holly's Highlights, Peggy Douglas. That smile on his face was contagious and helped his family walk firmly in their faith as they journeyed the path of ALS together.
Check out what Peggy shares with us brought them hope and a lifting of their face through one of their toughest challenges in life, and how she felt equipped for the task at hand.

Welcome aboard the back-to-school express! As we embark on this exciting journey, I'm joined by the talented educator and speaker, Erin Tarr, to lend us a compass and a flashlight, guiding us to a successful school year. With us, your family is in safe and knowledgeable hands, all set to navigate the school year.
We kick off our journey by laying the platform of healthy sleep habits. It's the fuel that keeps the engine of our kids' growth running smoothly. Erin enlightens us on the importance of good sleep, from blackout curtains to white noise, and how a consistent sleep schedule can be a game changer for our kids. Transitioning to our next stop, we put on our explorer hats and journey through the landscape of digital resources available to our young scholars. With apps like PhotoMath, Canvas Parent, Khan Academy, and Duolingo, homework and organization become less daunting tasks and more of exciting quests.
Moving forward, we handle the tough terrains of bullying, and provide tools to help you spot the signs and empower your children with empathy. We further delve into the art of setting boundaries, and the balance of support and effective communication with teachers. Keeping kids motivated is imperative; buckle up as we unravel the magic of different incentives and how communication helps decode what works best. As we approach the end of our journey, Erin and I focus on the unsung heroes of our kid's lives—their teachers. We discuss simple ways to show gratitude and appreciation to these extraordinary individuals. Finally, we welcome listeners once again to join our sponsorship challenge for kids in Haiti.
So, come along for this knowledge-packed journey, fill your backpacks with tips and tricks, and let's make this school year a resounding success!
Holly's Highlights challenge:There are 90 students needing an educational scholarship of just $20 per year. Would you be one of those to help a haitian child receive an education in hopes of completing high school? Donate today at https://nkchristian.givingfuel.com/give.

Want to start your own business, but don't have a clue where to begin? I'll share tips on what I wish I would have known when I launched my business in coaching, consulting and motivational speaking.
You may have a bright idea for a new business, but before you invest money in your great idea, do your research. We'll begin with how to perform a SWOT analysis and from there cover the following:
- Naming your business
- Picking the right entity
- Seting up all your financial accounts
- Securing your website and social media handles
- Obtaining necessary permits, licenses and insurance
- Creating contracts for services
- Setting up your promotional measures
- And so much more!
Keep in mind that it is always suggested you contact business professionals such as lawyers, tax advisors, and city offices for your state's policies when starting your own business.

Today is #Giving Tuesday (which happens to follow the frenzy of Black Friday and Cyber Monday each year). Giving Tuesday was created back in 2012 to help "unite countries around the world by sharing our capacity to care for and empower one another."
According to Neon CRM, the winter months are reported to be the best fundraising months. November accounts for 46% of annual giving and December 30% of annual giving. However, with tax returns coming up, this Spring can also be a good time to fundraise as people have cold, hard cash in hand and can often be more likely to give to various causes.

If you take part in annual events such as 5 or 10ks, half-marathons, or other fundraising events for non-profits, chances are you are starting to look ahead and put those events on your calendar now. But when do you start promoting and raising funds for such events?

Well, today we have special guests, Jen Murano-Tucker, Director of Events, and Raegan Erickson, Event Coordinator, from Huntsman Cancer Foundation with us to speak to all things fundraising. From what should we look for in organizations to support, red flags that should alert you when choosing a non-profit to raise money for, to overcome some of the biggest fundraising challenges, and what counts as a charitable contribution write-off - we'll learn the ins and outs of fundraising from these foundation pros.

Now, listeners, I can tell you firsthand how fabulous Jen and Raegan are and what a solid, reputable organization both Huntsman Cancer Institute and the foundation are to work with. My father was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma five years ago and my mother with Glioblastoma brain cancer last year. Both of my parents have received treatment from Huntsman and the care that is received there is just top-notch. Each time our family has walked into Huntsman (which has been A LOT) we have truly counted our blessings that my parents have been able to receive their treatments there. Huntsman Cancer Foundation holds an annual Sports Festival each year for walkers, runners and cyclists to take part in raising funds to help find a cure for cancer - if you are looking for an organization to get involved with I would personally invite you to join the cause through that Sports Festival. You can take part in any state and HCI makes it so simple to collect donations and apply them to your fundraising account.
Don't want to raise money, but just want to find a worthy cause to donate your hard-earned money to all while knowing you make a positive impact through your giving? Whether to Huntsman or the American Heart Association, Food Banks, or other passion of yours - what better day than on this Giving Tuesday.
