Thanks Jeff, just what I needed this morning! It's a great message. Naturally someone on the panel tried to make it an anti-Obama opportunity, when ironically it's all about making politics irrelevant, and ending the blame game. It's the time of the personal economy!
That was a great video. Thanks for the reminder.That’s a message that I’ve always believed in. I used to work with multiple handicapped folks and always tried to find at least one thing they could do and encouraged them to develop it.
I used to play a video of a woman born w/o arms and legs who became a lawyer and she is nearly independent. She has someone come in only an hour a day. She dressed herself, including makeup, fed herself, and did most daily things on her own. Most people I worked with were much more able bodied.
Have an awesome day!
Thanks Jeff. I love what Andy Andrews said about the importance of valuing each other…and that includes valuing ourselves. When we put the energy out there it can sometimes lead to new opportunities; but, it can be enough to expand ourselves…to help others…and to feel more alive in the doing. That kind of energy output always comes back full circle…and then some.
Linda – And the amazing thing to me is that when you put good stuff out there, you never know just how it is going to come back to you, and some of the ways are just amazing!

Get in the habit of doing, get noticed, be of value to others. Great message, and from this side of the Atlantic not just the American Dream!

Dan – you are so right. The only requirement to have the dream is to be above ground.
To fulfill the dream takes a bit more tho, eh?
Thanks for your comment – I appreciate you!
