The Scene:
We are surrounded by 3,000 individual boxes of cookies.  This is Bexlie’s first year in the Girl Scouts and her first year selling cookies.  Big goals for this little gal is an understatement.  And I’m sure you’ll see why there is zero doubt in my mind that she will sell every dang last one of them.  At 9 years-old, Bexlie is more certain of herself than I am at 44.  She’s an inspiration to all, both in her drive and her pure character.  She shares her dreams and a scary medical situation that she’s handling like a champ.  Come talk cookies with us.

A taste:
“I like to cook a lot.  And when I was littler, I wanted to be a baker when I grew up.  […]  I just like to make food, it’s just like a passion and fun thing that I like.”

“Right under my vocal chords I have scar tissue and it closed my airway and it was the size of a matchstick. […]  The next day we have to go into an emergency surgery.  I was really scared.  My mom was there every minute of it.”

“We went to Minnesota to go to the Mayo Clinic because the doctor on the phone said that in the last 2 years there have been 4 cases of this because it’s like a really really rare disease, for my age.”
