Julie Zigler Norman,
Not all of us follow the way, even when we are raised correctly. But want to tell you Zig Zigler influenced my life as a young woman, mother. He taught things never heard of, dared believe. His name just brings me hope and happiness.
Thank you for being you, and sharing.
Marguerite
