Speaking to a room full of supporters and early education leaders, Hillary Clinton touted an early education program that she admits she stumbled on by fate nearly 30 years ago.

In 1985 when my husband was governor of Arkansas, I went with him to a governors conference in Miami, the former Secretary of State said at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., on Monday. I was in our hotel room getting ready for the day, flipping through the local newspaper, when something caught my eye.

Clinton, now a prospective candidate for the Democratic partys nomination for president in 2016, went on to recount her experience reading about the origins of what would become the Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters, or HIPPY program.

I am honored to be introduced as a HIPPY mom And soon to be HIPPY grandma, Clinton said.

The HIPPY Program is a home visitation service that aims to foster early childhood cognitive development. Teachers offer a curriculum that they recommend parents work 15-20 minutes per day with their children ages 3-5.

Had Clinton not picked up that copy of the Miami Herald, the program might not have been celebrating its 25th anniversary in the United States. It was originally started by Dr. Avima Lombard in 1969, an Israeli doctor who wanted to help immigrants and their children adjust to live in new countries.

But Clinton read Lombards story, and saw the potential for the program in Arkansas.

I finally tracked her [Lombard] down at Hebrew University in Jerusalem and got her on the phone, Clinton said. You can imagine her surprise when I told her I was calling from Little Rock.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivers the keynote address to the United Methodist Women Assembly at the Kentucky International Convention Center, Saturday, April 26, 2014, in Louisville, Ky.

Frontrunner for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination Hillary Clinton has given an uncharacteristically personal address in which she shared about her Christian beliefs.

As 7,000 women gathered for the United Methodist Women's Assembly in Louisville, Kentucky on Saturday, Hillary took the opportunity to speak of the impact that faith has had on her career, while also underlining the importance of equal rights for men and women.

As a young girl growing up in Park Ridge, Illinois, Christian influences were all around her, she shared. Her grandmother was fond of singing hymns and she remembers her father praying every evening.

"That made a very big impression on me," Clinton said.

"My father had been a football player, had been a petty officer during World War II in the Navy; he was a rough gruff kind of man, self-made, independent, small businessman, and there he was - humble on his knees before God every single night."

The family also went to a local church, which Clinton said "helped to deepen my faith and ground it".

"I love that church," she added. "I love the doors that it opened in my understanding of the world."

It is this understanding rooted in a personal faith that has led Clinton to campaign against such issues as human trafficking.

"Like the disciples of Jesus, we cannot look away," she declared. "'You feed them,' he said. 'Feed them, rescue them, heal them, love them'."

Highland Park, IL (PRWEB) April 30, 2014

myTRAINER in Highland Park, IL is a fitness membership club providing flexible accessibility for their members to utilize the gym as well as the personal training services.

In their 3000 square foot gym filled with on-staff personal trainers, they provide fitness training that fits into the busy schedules of their members. The atmosphere at the myTRAINER gym is a friendly and high-energy environment designed to keep club members motivated until they reach their fitness goals from weight loss to distance training or just maintaining good form.

myTRAINER membership has continued to grow, they have new equipment and the only piece of their program that wasn't complete was an older website that didnt correspond with the companies goals or integrate their MindBody membership system. They needed a website that was easy to navigate, motivational, and user-friendly, so they came to Idea Marketing Group.

myTRAINER needed to redesign their website and hired Idea Marketing Group, a Chicago web design firm to develop a custom WordPress website built with strong SEO aspects with an integration to their MindBody system for membership management and gift cards.

At the highest level, my goals included building the reputation and value of the business. The new website that Idea created and recently launched was a first important step toward clearly communicating what myTRAINER is all about. In addition to providing those searching the web with the information they need to differentiate us from others, it also provides myTRAINER employees with a uniform template for interacting with new and prospective clients, says Keely Knack, owner of myTRAINER in Highland Park.

myTRAINER wanted a website with a sleek new look, an easy to use navigation, and something they could update by themselves. It was also important that they had a good integration feature between the MindBody system and the website for membership management. The new website was built on the WordPress platform and optimized for search. Idea also set up a consistent internet presence on all the major social media platforms to help strengthen the myTRAINER brand. The final result was a new clean-look with a looping video background to better hold the users attention. It is a user-friendly website, with updated blog and membership features that myTRAINER staff can use to help inspire and motivate others throughout the year.
