Spent the early part of the day going over the new form Ginny gave us. I wanted to be sure I was familiar with what it said and to be sure I had made it out right. It takes a fair amount of time to get it right.
There was excitement and disbelief. Sometimes people want things very badly but when they see that it is possible, that they really can have what they want, they resign themselves into believing it is too good to be true. we must be prepared for this. You will know when people are headed down this trail. They will latch on to things that would seemingly indicate that this is not for real. One of the first ones is "if it walks like a duck, and it talks like a duck ... it must be an MLM." While we know this is definitely not true, the image we put before people's eyes screams so loudly "I am a duck" that it drowns out what ever our mouths can say to the contrary. Once this image is in peoples minds it is difficult to change it. This issue has come up several times for myself and for other people. If we are to be successful; it is absolutely compulsory that we take every possible step to negate this image before it ever comes up. Enough rambling for tonight.
I met a most impressive woman today who reminded of a vocabulary word that I hadn't thought about in a long while. The word is hope. I ask you all to say a short prayer when you read this that all the people in the world who have given up on hope will get it back again. When you have finished that one say one for yourself that when the going gets tough you won't give up on doing your part to bring that hope to the people who need it most.

Hi Tom,
Thank you for your post. A good message, and no rambling at all. Keep writing your messages because you have important info for all of us inside of you ;-).
As for hope, I've found that without hope, my will to live is gone. I'll do as you request for the people of the world and for me and Big Z. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.
Enjoy.
