A Humorous Inspirational Speaker * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Meet Sandra P. Aldrich, president of Bold Words, Inc. Sandra has written and spoken extensively on joyful living, marriage, and family issues, youth challenges, grief, single parenting and the effects of alcoholism upon the family. Her Kentucky storyteller style has made her a popular guest on numerous radio and television shows, including "Heart to heart" of the "700 Club," "Prime Time America," "Mid-day Connection" and the "Focus on the Family" broadcasts. Sandra's often-humorous presentations feature the importance of solid relationships - to God, family, friends and self. After Sandra's husband died of brain cancer in 1982, she was left to raise a 10-year-old son, Jay, and an 8-year-old daughter, Holly. Today, both are terrific young adults who continue to keep their mom on her knees (praying!) - and well supplied with speaking and writing material. Sandra holds a master's degree from Eastern Michigan University (and, she says a "Ph.D. from the School of Hard Knocks"). Her career includes 15 years as a public school teacher in the Detroit area, a stint as a community service representative for a funeral home chain (she was one of the experts called to speak to students when the space shuttle exploded) and nine years in Christian ministry that included several years as senior editor of Focus on the Family Magazine.

What others are saying... "After
our weekend retreat, all I heard from the women was
what a wonderful time they had and what a great
speaker Sandra Aldrich is. Her humor, honesty and
openness allowed all of us to connect with her.
Truly she was God's instrument to refresh each one
who attended." "I
have heard Sandra Aldrich several times over the
past few years, and I am convinced she ranks among
the top two or three speakers on the current
circuit. She makes me laugh, she makes me cry and
she helps me better understand myself and the
issues in my life. Sandra has developed a mastery
of relating to her audiences and using wonderful
humor while teaching and sharing the truth of a
loving God. Her heart for the hurting make her
successful in understanding and relating to all
types of audiences: women, couples, single parents,
grieving persons and young people and anyone who
wants to be entertained, taught and challenged all
at the same time." "The
women at our Annual Spring Break-Away loved Sandra
Aldrich. She was so real, so genuine, so
down-to-earth, they could readily identify with
her. And she made them laugh a lot, which was great
and much needed." "What
I look for most in speakers for our conferences are
women who are real, who wrestle with life's
challenges and opportunities just as you and I do.
Women who have a stage presence that draws you into
their faith journey in such a way you feel
refreshed and relieved that someone else sees God
at work in their feelings, fears and challenges.
Sandra Aldrich uses her remarkable gifts of
speaking and humor to do just that. Men and women
come away from Sandra's presentations affirmed in
being fellow pilgrims. She laughs easily at herself
so we feel free to laugh at ourselves, too. Her
authentic, contagious, practical love for Jesus
deeply permeates her words, her smile and her
everyday life. Workplace people easily identify
with Sandra because she daily walks in their
shoes." "We
so enjoyed having Sandra Aldrich as one of our main
speakers at this year's retreat. She brought so
much into each presentation inspiration, depth,
encouragement, relevance and humor. And always, her
heart for God shines through." "It
is my great pleasure to recommend Sandra P. Aldrich
as a speaker. She spent a laughter-filled day with
us at our Annual Fall Celebration. With her
stories, humor and tender wisdom from her years of
walking with Jesus, Sandra was a key part in
meeting our goals of encouraging and building up
our women. Sandra was also a joy to work with in
planning details, reviewing logistics and being
flexible to our particular conditions." "It
is with great pleasure that I recommend Sandra P.
Aldrich to as a possible speaker. I have been in
association with Sandra since 1990 as she has
spoken to single parents throughout North America
and into Canada on behalf of Focus on the Family.
Sandra is articulate and extremely sensitive to the
needs of those she is addressing. Her caring spirit
and transparency is appreciated and recognized by
all." Are
you planning an upcoming event? Need some help in
