Porter paints the grittiness of the streets and defines what the community needs to sustain itself. His wording was eloquent that I curtsied with my head as I totally related with The Pride of Park Avenue."

"I'm a white kid that grew up in white suburbia - mere miles from Park Ave, yet a world away. Toriano skillfully weaves many stories of triumph and tragedy in his heartfelt collection of childhood memories. The Pride of Park Avenue gave me a great appreciation for the ease of the path I was given, but more so a glimpse into the courage and fortitude it takes to stay away from the traps of the city. Park Avenue should be proud."

Julie Hedenborg found herself inside an ambulance with a life-threatening injury, asking those soul-searching, end-of-life questions on July 3, 2015. Did she live a life that glorified God?  Did she use her God-given gifts to make a difference in the lives of others?  She was blessed with an undeserved miracle and a second chance.  A spiritually transformative experience became the catalyst for a new calling. Julie is the creator and host of the “Everyday Miracles” Podcast and is passionate about sharing powerful testimonies that glorify God and inspire hope and faith.  She has witnessed some miraculous things in her personal life, and in her nursing career of over 20 years, and loves to share that Jesus is very real, and still performing miracles.  She worked for two years in a Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit, then pursued her Master of Science Degree and enjoyed a 16-year career as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist.  In 2009, she was recognized by the Mecklenburg Times as a Healthcare Hero. She is also an author and her book, Picture Perfect, is a message about finding identity in Christ is helping readers to find breakthroughs. My prayer in the ambulance was that God would allow me to share him with just one more person. He certainly is answering that prayer! All glory to Him! Everyday Miracles Podcast is available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, and iHeartRadio, and has been downloaded around the globe (over 2 million across all platforms and growing)!
