In April 1999, at just 13 years old, I was honored as “Carrier of the Month” by The Williams Lake Tribune.
Delivering newspapers wasn’t just a job — it was my first step into the real world of responsibility.

I wasn’t just carrying papers.
I was carrying early lessons about work ethic, trust, and perseverance — lessons that would shape everything that came after.

Today, as I launch TallenFamilyStories.com, that 13 year old red belt advanced both in rank and honour. He old is still with me.
Still showing up.
Still delivering.
Only now, instead of papers, I’m delivering stories ones filled with hope.

The truth is I don’t believe I know that even small beginnings can lead to powerful journeys.
