Loving Thoughts Uttered from the Babies’ Hearts

Leave a comment


“Throughout my 40-year career as a pediatrician, I spent countless hours examining babies,” McCrimons said. “I heard a clear message from within that they had understanding and answers to teach and help us grow. In my book, I’ve captured the essence of the underlying and abiding love that our babies display. They speak, without verbalization, through a divine presence embedded within their souls.”

McCrimons encourages readers to open their minds and hearts to allow positive healing, so they can move forward through a clear awareness from where they came.

By presenting the babies’ thoughts to their parents and caregivers in a warm and informative format, readers are encouraged to appreciate the gift of holding a child in their arms and the reflection and promotion of positive healing during this special interaction.

“Our babies present a consistent and open message,” McCrimons said. “By sharing their voices, we are aligned to become a stronger society. We will flourish when we allow ourselves to hear the inner child within us all.”

“Our mission to inspire, educate and empower everyone around the world affected by diabetes is a mission that’s never ending and with our athletes racing all over the world from China and Japan, across Europe to the USA and Canada this year, we know our message is being spread and the impact the team has on every diabetes community in each country is a small step taken in the continuing journey to try and affect positive change for the near 500 million people living with diabetes around the world.”

Since the last partnership extension in 2020 the team has gone from strength to strength.

“Our whole project continues to grow,” continued Southerland. “In 2024 we will have 20 senior pro riders, 12 development riders and an ever-expanding ambassador team of athletes from around the world competing in many different sports: from the track and field with 3 x time Chilean national 100m sprint champion Maria Ignacia Montt…to the ocean and multiple world paddle board champion Fiona Wylde all the way to the velodrome and the legendary US multi discipline national champ Mandy Marquardt.”

The next three years will see Team Novo Nordisk’ mission expanding once more to reach not only people affected with diabetes but with other serious chronic conditions around the world.

And with this extension, Novo Nordisk clearly shows its desire to put patients at the center of everything they do.”

“This is more than a traditional sponsorship. Team Novo Nordisk is a testament to all the employees of Novo Nordisk that live and breathe the ethos of doing what is best for people living with diabetes or with another chronic condition. I am both grateful for the opportunity and honoured that our heroes have the chance to fly the Novo Nordisk flag, as we continue driving change all around the world.”
