Marion Harris is the one who has the story about encouraging a very young little Girl that she should try and play Basketball πŸ€.

Kris Richardson is the one who coached her early on in her career and later helped pen πŸ–Š a Book πŸ“– about her.

Ed Robtison gets the credit for Coaching her through Outlaws Travel Ball.

Update from the intersection of Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma on I-44!

Sorry ToTo, I missed the shot of Kansas

Day 3 is moving forward as we have said goodbye to Oklahoma and did a cameo with Kansas.

No real news here, just more of an update if you will. Some first time readers have found the site today and I wanted to take a minute to explain what they have stumbled upon.

Linda and I moved to Carroll County six years ago and once we finished unpacking we started our own Non-profit organization, OneofUs.Care.

Everything that appears on this site is Free and will always remain that way. I enjoy writing ✍ and I am currently on Book πŸ“– 6 of 7. Our thought process is that the World 🌎 needs more kindness !

Everything that appears here has to be 1000% Positive and thats because it is designed to be uplifting to its readers. Most stories are created for a small group of people who have been hard at work in striving for the same thing ! A safe space, free from the outside World πŸŒŽπŸ™Œ…
