Ty Pennington's Personal Story "How I Transformed My Life" is in August Guideposts Magazine
NEW YORK-(Business Wire)-July 29, 2008 - The new August issue of Guideposts magazine features a cover story by host and head carpenter on ABC-TV's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Ty Pennington. Millions of viewers are familiar with what the show's crew does to help transform people's lives, but Ty's story talks about what changes he had to go through to find his place in life. He reveals what it was like to grow up an ADHD kid before anyone new how to diagnose it. In and out of trouble, the principal's office, emergency rooms and his mother's hair for most of his childhood he struggled to find if there was some plan for how he could fit in. It was a revelation to discover he had an aptitude with tools and a talent for building - things that don't exactly show up on an SAT test - but convinced Ty even though he was different that he had the skills to succeed. Ty tells Guideposts readers that his experiences on the show and the facts of his own life are proof that even the impossible things that people hope and dream for really can come true.
August's Guideposts continues its inspiring new series about people who are surviving and living with cancer with a story by Ashley Andrews, Miss Rodeo America 2007. At age 21 Ashley took a big step towards the national title by winning the Miss Rodeo North Dakota crown, but soon after was knocked flat by a totally unexpected peril. She was diagnosed with cancer - Hodgkin's lymphoma. Through the months of chemotherapy and all the bad days, she had to dig deep into her ranch-life heritage of finding hope, even when times were hardest, to beat cancer and emerge the upbeat, unbeatable cowgirl again with her Rodeo Queen dreams. Stories that help round out Guideposts August issue include: how America's 2007 Soldier of the Year, Scotty Smiley, faced his biggest battle after returning home; a struggling young artist's trip to India that helped change thousands of lives; what Shawn Johnson's mother learned about raising an Olympic gymnast; an older woman and younger man talk about making their marriage work; how an adopted Lab helped a boy with a speech disorder learn to talk; the secret behind one family's plentiful (and safe) crop of tomatoes; there's even a great baked stuffed tomato recipe, too; and much more.
