Great things are happening at IL Hands & Voices….

Illinois Hands & Voices board member, Karen Putz, has co-authored a new book: Gliding Soles, Lessons from a Life on Water. 

From the time he was 13, Keith St. Onge knew what he wanted to do with his life. He wanted to become a World Barefoot Water Ski Champion and open his own ski school in Florida. It was an ambitious dream for a kid from Berlin, New Hampshire–a place where lakes are covered in ice several months out of the year. As the years rolled on, Keith continually fell short of his dream and took second place every time. With every failure came a lesson about life. During one of the lowest moments of his career, a friend gave him a card with an inspirational quote. The card inspired a turnaround in Keith’s life. He went on to achieve his dreams and more. The card went on to inspire others to achieve their dreams. Keith shares the wisdom he acquired on his journey to reach the top in this book, Gliding Soles, Lessons from a Life on Water. For anyone who has a dream, the road of life is filled with twists and turns, but passion will push you above and beyond.
