    Updates
    We will be in and out of the office (I've been traveling back and forth to Chicago to care for my mom who has cancer).  Still working the tournament, doing book sales/ promotions as well as Kennon Transport from here. I do have cell phone, checking voice mail and emails while I'm out. Thanks for your patience.

    No Doom and Gloom Here !!

    With all the media hype about the economy I find myself wanting to say something encouraging... Some of my favorite sayings...

    If you dont like the circumstances, change your perspective.

    Be a blessing, not a burden.

    Knowing the right thing to do will not make you as victorious as doing the right thing. 

    If I'm not part of the solution, I'm part of the problem.

    Trucking and Our Economy
    I recently published another article on helium.com (while you're there -- type mike kennon in the search area for my other articles). This article deals with the very serious issue of companies and individuals that are offering freight out for less than the costs to cover the operation of a truck and would not even pay minimum wage to the driver.  Watch 'Economy: Sectors to Watch' a segment done by Good Morning America where they talk about 'low-balling' as mentioned in my article.)  TheTrucker.com did an interview (read more below) and then asked if they could use this article as well.

    Interview with TheTrucker.com
    Last Friday I was interviewed for an article which should come out February 1st, 2009 in TheTrucker.com about my new book 'Memoirs of a Runaway'. The Assistant Editor mentioned she just got done doing a series on prostitution at truck stops and many of the the young women are runaways.  She went on to say that they had been working with law enforcement who informed her that the runaway situation has now reached an 'epidemic proportion'.  

    A boy was throwing starfish back into the ocean and a man walked up to him and said 'you know it wont matter if you throw them back cause there will be hundreds more that wash up again tomorrow', and the boy continued to throw another one and turned to him and said 'it mattered to that one'. 

    Please click on the link to a printable
    'Runaway Resource Guide' to help provide awareness. It will only be with the help of others that we can make a difference.

    Runaway Advocate

    In 2008, I authored a book called Memoirs of a Runaway.

    cover.jpg 

    My hope was (and is) to help other runaways and their parents.  My inspiration came from another young lady who ran away from home and the fact that before my success with Kennon Transport, started running away at age 12. I had driven 250,000 miles in a semi (alone) before age 18, before I even had a drivers license and continued down a very troubled path.  I am now asking for other drivers to help. Put the word out and provide hope to someone that may not be as fortunate. 

    Please click here for a printable Runaway Resource Guide with statistics, phone numbers and information that maybe able to provide assistance. 

    For more information about my new book, go to
    www.memoirsofarunaway.com or the publishers site at www.outskirtspress.com/memoirs. I have found that not only was I inspired to write this, but that I have been lucky enough to inspire others. Read just a few reviews
