“My” Year of You
It must be MY year of you! When we planned this year to listen to everyone tell us their stories and then respond, I thought it would not be about me at all. However, I have a story that seems to fit into this in an odd way. While I was checking out in the supermarket today, the young man behind the register […]
Year of You – Love for Logan
This guest post is from Marie about her grandson Logan. Logan and his family have been supporters of The Alesia Shute Foundation and we are thankful that Marie has shared his story. We are excited to meet Logan at the 2014 Evening of Inspiration! When Logan was 14 months old a brain tumor was discovered. […]
My 5th Year
I cannot believe I have been an author for five years now, along with running my own foundation, speaking engagements, and meeting many families with ill children. It has been keeping me very busy, and it is ongoing work that will never run out. My reward is sharing my book, my words, and my life with complete strangers […]
Planning My Event
I have been doing charity work for many many years, and with your crucial support, I have raised more money than I can count for various charitable organizations. The past five years, I have been raising money for my own foundation that gifts monetary donations to CHOP to help hospital stays be more comfortable for all of the children involved. Celebrating […]
Couped Up With An Ill Child

Winter’s Fury
We are a little over half through the winter season, and boy it has been a busy one. I think we have spent 50% of our time watching the weather forecasts and the other 50% at home waiting for the storm to arrive, shoveling, or cleaning up from it. Even though we’ve had one storm on top of […]
Angels
Angels: I love looking at them, talking about them, and gifting them, but deep down I am uncertain if they are real. Do they mean anything, or are they really even there? I have friends that swear by angels and often feel their presence, but I always teeter on the fence with things like this. I even struggle with my beliefs […]
Celebrate Your Birthday
The other night, we went to dinner with a good friend for his birthday. We try to do a special dinner with all of our very close friends, usually they choose the restaurant and or what they would like to do that day or night. It is nice to feel special, don’t you agree? The day […]
Update on my Dear Friend
To update you all on my previous post, Appreciate Life, Chuck is on the mend, bleeding in the brain was stopped and he is now home and recovering, something that is going to take a very long time. My advice to him is to embrace what he has, although I know he does this already, […]
