Monday Week 2

And so another week of Miracle bootcamp begins, and a very interesting Monday it was.

The morning was spent on the rest of my life. My mom's nose is just about back to it's normal color, she is still a bit stiff and under her eyes is bruised, too. All in all it looks like the concrete won, but really she's okay.

This afternoon I was at the library sending emails, and about the time I finished, I got information about some of the leads I've using that surprised me and rather took be aback. But there was more to be done, so I came back home to regroup and "move my beans".

My enthusiasm for getting contacts was low, and I didn't take very effective action. I did go to the dollar store and the grocery store, but I couldn't seem to initiate ANY conversations. After wandering around and not speaking with anyone, I returned home, made a few calls (no one answered) and called in for the Family Chat.

The wonderful thing about the Family Chats lately is that they are all re-motivating, so after the call, even though most of the places to make contacts were closed and it was too late to be calling people, I went out again to go to a couple of convenience stores.

They were both empty except for the people that worked there, but in both I got the contact info from the clerks. One would save the money for college--she's 19 and aspires to be an elementary teacher. The second would pay bills, we couldn't seem to get past that.

The third contact that I got was a person I met in between who asked if I needed a ride. She would pay for her house, and said she had been looking online for a business, but hadn't found anything yet that looked good to her. She obviously has a TWCCTW heart since she is willing to offer a stranger a ride at night, and then pulled over to find out what I was talking about, and I'd really like to work with her. We'll see what happens next tomorrow.

I also spoke with another man on the way. He answered my first two questions about what he would do with extra money, but when I asked for contact information, he said he didn't have an email, and didn't have time to find out what I was talking about, so didn't pursue it further.

Though I didn't get my 5, I definitely stepped out of my comfort zone going to unfamiliar places and talking with strangers on the street out in the open at night.

Make it a wonderful Tuesday for yourself and someone else, too.
