My Baby Compass is a program for parents and caregivers of children Birth to Seven that promotes the early identification of developmental delays. She recently entered in a joint venture to get My Baby Compass evidence-based and into an App that will be available worldwide. For more information, visit www.mybabycompass.com. She is a bestselling author with the first edition, Soul for Success, and she also received the Editor’s choice award.She has been telling funny stories for many years and was finally prompted by Jack Canfield, the Chicken Soup of the Soul creator, to gather them in a book after he learned that writing them down was one way she handled the grief of losing her husband of forty-three years. Her greatest gift is making people laugh through her stories and jokes. Follow her at: kathryngruhn.com for more books and stories.
