In the beginning it was very hard for me to do but it slowly transformed into the story you can now find on my website. At first I thought I might just have a personal blog but after so much prayer and time spent with God, my perspective started to change.

One thing about the CPR training industry that outsiders are probably unaware of is the significant difference between online-only CPR classes and those that include hands-on practice and skills training. While online-only CPR classes may seem convenient, they lack the crucial hands-on practice necessary to effectively perform CPR in real-life situations. Read more>>
