Testimonials 

“On behalf of Tri-State Area School Study Council I want to thank you for presenting at our 8^th Annual Jean Winsand International Institute on April 15, 2010.  Your presentation brought vitality, humor, and practical wisdom to a room full of women whose work impacts the lives of the children of Pennsylvania.  The audience really enjoyed it.  Just as Jean Winsand blazed a trail for many of us, so, too, have you served as a role model for other inspiring female leaders.”-Dr. Diane Kirk, Clinical  Visiting Assistant Professor, University of Pittsburgh 

“We greatly appreciate the time you spent preparing and assisting us with the development of the plenary session on Sibling Relationships with Stedman Graham. We have heard many positive comments about your enthusiasm for the issue, the quality of the information you provided, and your flawless facilitation of the session itself. By all accounts, it was one of the best sessions of the convention!”
-Lynne A. Cleveland, President, The ARC of the United States 

“Your keynote address, “It’s Never Too Late to Get Happy!” set the stage for the entire conference!  I truly appreciate how you tailored your presentation to the needs of the group – you took a topic that is often considered “soft” but had each of asking ourselves some “hard” questions. The sponsored gift or your autographed copies of “Peace, Love and Lemonade” allowed the audience to take your message home with them!”
-Mary O’Connor, Ph.D., RN, Chair, SWPONL Education Commission

As written by Beth Gebhard on My Central Jersey.com, “Your OWN Show: Oprah’s Search For The Next TV Star” will debut in January, 2011, on OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network. The original series will feature a “host boot camp” as contestants compete in various challenges relevant to hosting and developing a television show. Challenges will range from booking interviews and researching story ideas, to successfully completing an actual screen test. At the end of the series, the person selected to be the winner will receive a commitment for his or her own show, executive produced by Mark Burnett, and scheduled to premiere on OWN in 2011.” 

Stampahar has entered the Health and Well-Being Category.  In her live audition, she suggested her show answers three questions: “What would you do if you weren’t afraid?”, “What keeps you stuck?” and “How do you make lemonade when life hands you lemons?”.  

June 25, 2009 – New York, NY — Organizers of the 13th annual Independent Publisher Book Awards, conducted to honor the year’s best independently published books, have announced the results for the 2009 competition. While much of the world economy is in a slump, books and reading are gaining ground on more expensive forms of entertainment, and the annual list of “IPPY” award winners represents the kind of alternative viewpoints today’s readers  crave. 

This year’s awards attracted 4,090 entries from throughout the U.S. and Canada, plus most English-speaking countries worldwide. Medal-winning books came from 44 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia, eight Canadian provinces, and six countries overseas.  The Independent Publisher Book Awards were conceived in 1996 as a broad-based, unaffiliated awards program open to all members of the independent publishing industry.  The awards are intended to bring increased recognition to the thousands of exemplary independent, university, and self-published titles produced each year, and reward those who exhibit the courage, innovation, and creativity to bring about change in the world of publishing. Winners receive gold, silver and bronze medals and can place foil seals of the medal image on their book covers. 

Peace, Love and Lemonade: A Recipe to Make Your Life Sweeter written by Nancy Stampahar, Pittsburgh, PA, won the bronze medal in the self-help category. 

“Today’s readers are seeking diverse perspectives on hot-button issues,” said awards director Jim Barnes. “This year’s list represents a mix of established independents and bold new voices, and their messages echo the call for change and a straightforward approach to dealing with the world’s social, political and economic problems.” 

The IPPY Awards are presented by IndependentPublisher.com, the online “voice of independent publishing” operated by publishing services firm Jenkins Group of Traverse City, Michigan.
