Denise & Jonnae Update
I have some important news to share today... and I need to ask for your help.
As you may know, I recently flew out to Sellersburg, Indiana to pay a visit to our new Transformation Champion and inspirational hero, Denise Taylor. She made the change from unhealthy to healthy, completing her first challenge in 2003; and since then, she's taken transformation to a whole new level... beyond the physical, and into the spiritual. Her faith and inner strength are unbreakable, and her powerful, positive energy is uplifting for all who know her
Each day, Denise works to renew her physical fitness with exercise and eating right, no matter what. She also exercises her spiritual fitness each day with prayer, meditation, gratitude, forgiveness, honesty, unconditional kindness, selflessness, compassion, humility and surrender. The way she lives her life is truly an inspiration to me and many others, including her beautiful 15-year old daughter Jonnae who is battling leukemia. This fight for her life has been going on for 3 years now.
Some days are good for Denise and Jonnae. And sometimes, like today, things are difficult. Very difficult. Jonnae had to be rushed to the hospital yesterday and suffered a grand mal seizure last night. Today she is in the intensive care unit and doctors are doing all they can to help her pull through.
I need to ask for your help. Please, if you have a few moments, click this link to watch the story of Denise & Jonnae so you can get to know them better. And then, if you can find it in your heart, please join me now, along with many other members of the Transformation Community, by sending your positive thoughts, healing intentions, and prayers. Your participation is vitally important and very, very much appreciated. Your prayer adds tremendous power to our collective intention which is to offer strength of body and spirit, courage, faith, healing, love and grace.
Please leave your message for Denise & Jonnae in the comments section under their video story. I know they will read those messages later today and your words will lift their spirits at a time when they need it most. Also, if you can forward this message to family members and friends who are open-hearted and have strong faith, and ask them to help out with our group prayer, it would be so greatly appreciated.
I remain convinced that together we can make a change; and together we can make a difference.
Sincerely,
Bill

Denise and Jonnae My thoughts Prayers are with you two in this difficult time. I know you two will make it!!!! Briain
In these times it's important to realize that no matter what happens, as people who live for transformation, it is our gift to see even the most difficult events in our lives not just as tragedy, but oppurtunity to make life better, not just for ourselves, but the ones we love. my earnest prayers and healing thoughts go out to this amazing mother and daughter, who i believe have set the bar for how our relationships should be modeled. and Bill, God bless you for your strength and dedication. -jHill

Thanks for blessing the Taylor family, as it it so wonderful to see someone who deserves it so greatly actually receive it. :)

Bill, thanks for doing this. Prayer and prayerful thoughts are the most powerful things we can ALL DO. I am praying that God will touch Jonnae just as Jesus did Peter's mother in law, and that she will rise healed from that touch. (Matt. 8)
