The Soldier and the Squirrel introduces children to the Purple Heart

through a loving story of a friendship between a newly wounded soldier

and Rocky the squirrel with his backyard friends. This story began as a

blog during my first year in bed after my incident. With much

encouragement, it is now a book and has been placed in the

Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum. Please watch the video

on the About page to learn for the Soldier & Rocky are changing children's

lives.

Late Bloomer

An author on Twitter (@DebraEve)found my story and kindly ran with it into a blog. Her site is Latebloomer.com. And so once again, our blessings keep rolling in. Someone asked me the other day if I was angry because of my situation. I could not say yes. I really, really tried. But I am not angry. We are so fortunate to have the support system that we do. I feel relieved that I broke down my ego and asked the world for help. And realized there nothing to fear but myself. I have never felt so naked and still so clothed in armor at the same time. Life may not be what I expected, but what ever is, really. Here is my story through Debra Eve's eyes, and heart.

Hi Micaela - I read your story on Debra Eve's Late Bloomers today and have read some of your blog. Your courage is more than inspiring and I have no doubt you will continue to inspire and bless many others. Just wanted to let you know that someone at the ends of the earth will be holding you and your family up in prayer to our loving Creator. Be encouraged - "His eye is on the sparrow" and He cares for you.
