I think the first domino is beginning to tip......
My meeting today with Brian at Cheverus went very well. He told me how their fundraising was moving away from being event based. Which led very nicely into my presentation.I showed him how changing shopping behavior just a little could produce unimaginable, sustainable income for the school. Then I explained how each student, staff and board member could also add a nonprofit to benefit. I talked about my vision for the school hosting a TWCCTW Day. He agreed that this fit like hand in glove with the school's motto of becoming a person in service to others.
And so, this will move along to the next level. The school will thoroughly check out the company. I offered to be at each and every meeting necessary. I am very encouraged by the movement forward, and understand that challenges still lay ahead.
I am in awe of how the puzzle pieces of my life are fitting together, as I mentioned in my previous blog. I imagine heaven to be a place where you can review your life like it's a movie and say "Oh!, that's why this happened!" We might get glimpses along the way as I am now, but I'll bet there are so many more times we set something in motion that we just have no idea of the impact.

Andrea,
ReplyDeleteWhen you popped on the call this a.m. after returning from the meeting and sharing all you did, I was so overjoyed for you! Big Z was still in bed and missed the whole thing and I tried to fill him in as he ate breakfast. He, however, doesn't yet understand the scope of what's possible because of your meeting. All he knows is that I am excited, that Ginny is excited, and that Jacki is excited. Hmmm. I forgot to tell him that Jacki almost lept through the phone and into your home she was so excited. Have to do that when he gets home ;-).
Also, I am touched immeasurably knowing that our support of you, along with Tina's support, gave you the feeling that your "network" was right there in that room with you. It chokes me up, in fact.
You know, I'm doing what I feel called to do, and accept it, and feel glad that I have moments to write supportive comments on as many Campers blogs as I can. However, I did once hear a smallish voice that I shrugged off, "What if the Boot Campers feel that I'm intruding upon their experience?" and other such non-sense.
I know that by following your experience while carrying my own hopes and dreams for me and my son is feeding my soul, giving me additional hope, and fostering a tremendous connection to all of you. And, this feeling that I have, and that many of the Campers are also feeling, is precisely what Ginny and her founding team feel, and why they keep going; and, it's precisely what her vision carries for all of us--- enriching each other's lives. Thank you very much for your acknowledgement.
Enjoy.
Oh My God! I just commented on Aletha's and just said that things seem to happens for a reason. Well Again, Oh MY GOD! OH MY GOD! You did it, you got them. Congratulations. I heard Jackie on the mon. chat that your famous letter was going to be posted in the back office. When? Great Job. I am just so excited for you and for what is to come.

I am so excited for you. Congratulations. I think this will be the beginning of fabulous things to come for a lot of MPM members, not just the boot campers. You are paving the road to success for all of us.
