Send us a textI started a program called "Reading Buddy" with a local elementary student. It turns out, he is a wonderful reader that just lacks confidence. With some encouragement, he has already grown tremendously, but more than that, we have grown close to each other. This is exactly the kind of relationship Paul & Timothy would have, and the kind of relationship Paul expects the older & younger generation to foster together in the church. Sometimes, younger disciples just need some words of encouragement. And in doing so, we will build lasting relationships that close the generational gap. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

We've talked about a lot of things in the over 100 episodes we've shared together from why we read and titles we might love to how to read best and how to use reading to make life better.  But today, we are talking about something I've only recently been exploring: the power of reading with furry, four-legged friends.  Dr. Barb Vokatis, a reading therapy dog handler, is here to explore this idea with me and I'll share three books with dogs as important main characters that I think you should add to your TBR stack, too.  You'll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here.  Love this podcast and want more?

Carole is the Executive Director & Founder of K-9 Reading Buddies of the North Shore. This is a non-profit business that supplements literacy programs in suburban libraries and schools. They use reading teams consisting of registered therapy dogs and qualified handlers to strengthen reading skills while also boosting confidence of the young readers. The Start of K-9 Reading BuddiesThe concept behind K-9 Reading Buddies of the North Shore started back in 2007 around a Starbucks coffee table. A group of five had the idea of bringing therapy dogs into schools to support literacy programs and to motivate the children to want to read. As they put their plan in place, more and more people wanted to contribute to the cause. This is what prompted Carole to formally start her non-profit now known as K-9 Reading Buddies. The business has formalized the program and provides consistency and a professional structure to their worthwhile cause. Candle Flickering MomentsWhen K-9 Reading Buddies was formed, all members received a letter that Therapy Dogs International would cancel their membership if they volunteer with any other nonprofit. Carole had to get creative to figure out a solution. Another obstacle was a city ordinance that prohibited dogs from entering school property and public buildings. Carol could have met this challenge with defeat but instead, she tackled it head on and it’s a good thing! There wouldn’t be K-9 Reading Buddies today if she didn’t challenge the ordinance and win. Business Building InsightsClearly understand the value your business brings. For Carole it was the effect therapy dogs have on the children: stress levels go down allowing calm focus and higher reading performance. What we can learn from dogs: They are not thinking about yesterday and what they should have done. They are not thinking about their to do list today, they’re in that very moment. If we can just be in that very moment, we can have less stress. When you have an idea, don’t immediately take NO for an answer. See if you can find a solution. When working with a group, treat them collaboratively and work towards the same goal. Always share an idea. You never know where it may lead! When what you do is your passion, it is with you 24/7. But there are times where you have to turn off because we are not machines. Believe in yourself and believe in your mission. If you do, nothing will stop you.
