      <image:caption>When people see success, they rarely see the struggles that came before it. As I look at the success Gazill Hill is having, I realize that what took four years to bring to life wasn’t just about writing a children's book. It was a journey of perseverance, self-doubt, and growth. Ironically, the same theme of the book!</image:caption>

      <image:title>blog - The benefits of teaching public speaking skills to children - Before the students record the podcast I teach them that being nervous is natural. I give them breathing techniques and strategies to overcome their fears. I remind the students that public speaking is daunting for many adults. What I love about teaching public speaking skills in elementary school is the students haven't become as self-conscious as say a middle school-aged tween.  This helps kids develop greater self-confidence and self-esteem at a younger age.</image:title>

My son loved it so much, he requested candy sushi for his birthday treat instead of cake or cupcakes. This would be a fun activity for Halloween or the upcoming holiday festivities.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Full disclosure: Making candy sushi is not my original idea. But it was too fun not to share This recipe makes about 40 Nigiri-like sushi. You can have fun and make sushi rolls as well.</image:caption>
