Week 2, day 1

Thanksgiving was unusual for me. After putting our turkey in the oven, I sat at my computer to read the blogs. Suddenly, I felt a sharp, unrelenting pain in my chest, I thought I was having a heart attack. My husband and I spent all day in the ER. As you can imagine, our kids were very worried about me. While I was undergoing tests, all I could think about was how unimportant most stuff really is. In those minutes of panic, all I wanted was time with my family. Fortunately, the tests were all negative. For that I am so thankful!

We got home around 4pm, the kids had the table set with a homemade centerpiece! I put all the food on the table (luckily, I had prepared everything the day before.) Well, the turkey looked done, but after we all said grace, Jim cut into the wonderful, crispy on the outside, raw in the inside turkey! We all just burst into laughter! Apparently, I had turned the oven off when we left for the ER, although I don't remember doing this. We laughed so hard we had tears rolling down our cheeks! I'm telling you this because it's important to spend your life doing what matters. My PowerMall matters. Together We Can Change the World matters. This bootcamp matters. There are so many people getting together to do good.

Today, I had no fear as I made my contacts. My husband just called me, HE got a State Trooper to become a World Changer! He spoke with another trooper, told him all about My PowerMall and what I was doing. This Trooper, Chuck, said "If it's to help your wife, I'll do it" Here are two guys who dedicate themselves daily to giving, and now they're ready to give even more!

One of my contacts was the superintendent of our school district. Schools are being hit hard here in Maine with budget cuts. I said to her "I am an ambassador for My PowerMall, a division of Together We Can Change the World. The mission of My PowerMall is to provide perpetual funding for schools, non profits and regular people just like us! Can you imagine having ever INCREASING funding for school programs? Can you imagine teachers, janitors, lunch ladies and principals getting a monthly supplement to their pay of over $2000? Can I please have your contact information so we can discuss this?

I'm dangerous when I have no fear:)

I went right home wrote a professional letter to her, recapping everything, and will follow up with a call tomorrow during school hours.

Another person emailed me about my blog. She said "Your mission is great! Someday, I'd like to do something like that for the animal shelter"

Out goes one email explaining how she COULD do it, right now and I would help. I gave her the link to our foundation mall, and asked if I could call her about it.

Just keep focused on what's important.
