Pink Ernie Size: 15″ x 11.5″ Blue Fred Size: 9″ x 5″ The first book I read by Andy Andrews was The Noticer back in 2011. I truly credit a great deal of my success and positive thinking to this book. During a very dark time of my life this book helped to save me.  Since then I have read several other books by Andy and am constantly recommending them to friends, peers, and leaders.  During the pandemic I saw firsthand the negative affects the crisis was having on people, so that got me thinking ‘How can I help change the way people are viewing others and the events in their lives?’ I once again thought of Andy. At that moment I sent an email to Andy asking if he would be willing to support my mission of getting these books into the hands of our Veterans and staff at the VA hospital here in Richmond, Virginia. He did not hesitate to assist.  We have since planned an event for August (provided we have opened back up to the public!) to get these books out to as many people as possible, and for Andy to help coach both Veterans and Staff. We can’t wait to take part in this mission. Thank you so much for your support!
