Meet Krista Dunk, A Woman of Faith

I found a kindred spirit in Krista Dunk.  She and I have been Facebook friends for a while now.  I knew I’d like her the minute I saw her profile picture.  She’s wearing a purple jacket.  As I got to know her, I came to admire her faith and her mission.  I think you'll get a lot out of reading about her and how communication plays a large role in her life. 1. Please tell us a little about yourself. Thank you JoJo. I wear a lot of hats, but I'll keep this short! I am a woman of God, mother, wife, business owner, sign language worship dancer, and also an author. Life is full, and God is good. 2....

For Moms of Gifted Kids: Learned an important parenting lesson yesterday

My folks just got back from a trip to California to visit my brother and his wife.  They are having their second child.  My mom was the perfect doting grandma telling me all about my niece and how smart she is.  They brought back pictures and oh is she adorable too!
