I am thankful for Ben Bingham and the impact he has had on my life. Ben taught me the importance of writing from the heart and he taught me creativity. I took a class from him once but the most important things he taught me have been outside of a classroom. He has always encouraged me to find and develop my talents and to follow the things that are inside of me. My grandchildren adore him and he has been their mentor as well as mine. Likewise, he encourages them to follow their insides to be who they were meant to be. He took one of them, who aspires to write, to visit the writer of his favorite children’s book. What a thrill that was for that child. The wonderful things he has done for us are too numerous to mention here but there are two things he has done that are of great importance to me. When my husband died, Ben was there for me and helped me through that difficult time. The other thing is that he literally saved my life. I am forever grateful for Ben Bingham.
