Unsung Extraordinary Hero - A Ray of Sunshine Eminates


As the sun rises above a majestic mountain top, streams of sun beams gently kiss to the land with gold.
A gold that is priceless, nurturing and brings abundance.   One by one each beam reaches the heart and hearth of  someone.   Such a tranquil moment untouched by world prejudice, unkindness or discontent; just pure bliss.  
Wendy Gilhula is much like the gentle beams of sunlight that grace the earth.  Each radiant beam is a life touching a life.  The smile that Wendy Gilhula generates from the inside out.  Her mission is to bring kindness, not just to everyday life through her writing, arming children with tools  and the workplace.    

If you were to ask Wendy about her journey, she would tell you is started with a question.  A conversation that embraced further contemplation.  The root of the pondering began a journey of wit, discovery and determination to fill the world with kindness and magical stories.


Wendy, understood as she raised her children that everyone has a story to tell and for her, that was priceless.  In her truth she found solace in writing which is what created the moment she appreciates today.  Back to the question which filled empty skies of slight bewilderment - What is it that you do?  

Wendy knew she had to entreat herself to come to the precipice of life and say out loud what she did.  Her answer was, simple but very meaningful.  Wendy wrote books that children were never going to read.   This was a cascading waterfall where questions and answers ensued.  It was time to get out the manuscripts and do something about it.  PIKA Bunny had been put away for too long.  It was time to shift the inner dialogue and put those stories she was reserving for her children to life.

Stepping into the unknown, Wendy went about determined and full of purpose to write, review,  encapsulate her gift in the form of children's book.  This sojourn brought growth, knowledge and empowerment for Wendy.  What is incredible about that path is she never gave up her dream because she met with stumbling blocks. Wendy armed herself with courage and turned those road blocks into stepping stones.  Stepping stones that would build an incredible opportunity for others and done with kindness.

Wendy has a badge of kindness that is gently drizzled and sprinkled in all that she does.  Before becoming and author, she would be found bringing fresh flowers and chocolates to the office.  It was and is still very important that the culture in the work space encourage kindness.  Often we see in society the banner that proclaims - "Take what you want!" But for Wendy, it is all about being kind.  Kindness stretches it's hand when  PIKA Bunny teaches children about kindness as part of self-care where wearing kindness  is cool.  Wendy is a woman who walks in her speak.  Her confident, soft spoken presence in the club house helps you to feel at ease especially if you are new to writing.

In our society, now today, it takes courage to be kind.  Kindness is a virtue we each need to garner within ourselves every day if not for the sake of ourselves but more important for the growth and evolution of our tribes, our communities.   The world we now experience is a bygone era and with Wendy's help and APP we can wear kindness everyday without ego, opinion or judgment, because we choose it, we live it in order to thrive.  

Join Wendy on her purpose to create kindness in every beam of sunshine where you have the integrity and legacy that touches a life upon a life everywhere you go.

Unsung Exraordinary Hero - It's never to late to find your purpose and live your dreams

Ageism, what is it anyway?  I had not heard that term until recently.  I would have to say that age is not a criteria for being an Unsung Hero. In fact there is no age limit to heroism.  We all can step through the door and create a life of meaning regardless of our age, status, education or creed.  You are never to old to make a difference now.  We all can learn from each other.   Let me introduce our shooting star and unsung hero Garrett Hardy, who defies ageism, with heart, intellect, drive and passion  is hot on the trail of manifesting his life's purpose. Garrett's innovative problems solving thought process, with the culmination of a dynamic team are on the path to solve a serious problem.  This change is critical to the landscape and climate of Mental Health Awareness and care. With limited resources available for mental wellness something has to be done.   The system of care is expensive and slow, leaving loved ones to suffer in silence. People innately want to help o

Unsung Extraordinary Hero - Glenn Marsden putting life and heart into Mental Health

The definition of a HERO based on author, J eff Sanderfer is someone who shapes events, who acts rather than watches, who is creative and brave."(1). When I think of an Unsung Extraordinary Hero, I think of the creator and director behind the highly acclaimed Imperfectly Perfect Campaign. This man epitomizes  action, shaping culture - social values, creativity and innovation in his approach to put life and heart into Mental Health. As I sit pensively waiting for that moment to connect with none other than Yorkshire born, Glenn Marsden, I explore the world of Imperfectly Perfect Campaign.org.  When you launch the web  page, o ne is immediately intrigued by the stories and pictures that resonate a truth.   Instantly you see unfiltered real photographs of influential public figures. The faces bear the grief and hardship of mental illness. These people live amongst us with voices that are neither yelling or screaming but talking, rather frankly and poignantly about their battle. We ar

Unsung Extraordinary Hero - A Journey to Fulfilling a Calling to Be a Voice

In the wake of current life situations with COVID-19 Pandemic the word HERO only synonymous with comic books has become a household word. We are in a time and place where we desperately need the visibility and creation of heros, heroines, people who are heroic.  From a college course book in one of my business classes, the definition in this time and space is certainly appropriate. In the introduction, Jeff Sanderfer said, " heroic people - people who shape events, who act rather than watch, who are creative and brave."(1.) This is a moment to ask yourself the hard questions that often we ignore or pass over.  What is the journey or path to becoming a #HERO.  Is it at the root of what we have done most of our life, or did we receive an experience due to external influences or was there a singular internal event that changes our lives.   Perhaps it is best described as a calling or as I read recently a VOCATION, which in latin VOCARE means "to call." Did you come to
