Travels to Atlanta

This past week, I was in Atlanta, GA for the Network 21 National Leadership Convention. What a great group of people! I met Jim Dornan and his wife, Nancy, a little over a year ago when I joined Free Wheelchair Mission. Jim Dornan (l), me, and Don Schoendorfer (r) Me and Nancy Dornan

They are amazing people! Over time, we eventually grew the relationship into a partnership of which we are all excited about. Network 21 is currently distributing wheelchairs to people in need in South Africa, and currently, we are working on providing aid to those in Ukraine through their help!

Saturday night, the President of Free Wheelchair Mission, Don Schoendorfer, and I were asked to speak on stage to a group of almost 3,000 independent business owners.

I got to do what I love best... speak. I love being in front of large crowds of people. It's so energizing to me! The worst part of this past weekend, though, is that I got sick immediately afterwards. I've had a headache, really bad sore throat, and achey all over.

I'm sorry for those of you I didn't get to see again this time while I was in Atlanta. It simply is so difficult to manage one on one time with all of you, especially while working. Perhaps I'll have to have one big party when I go back next and invite everyone to that one event. :)

I'm headed next month to Wisconson for my cousin's wedding. That's another story in and of itself of which I'll save for later. Oh, and I I'm almost done with my cleanse! It will be two months on Friday. I'm in a new mode of wanting to get physically more fit, so I'm trying to be a lot more concious of what I eat and my activitely level. However, being sick doesn't allow for much physical exhertion.... so, soon I'll ramp it up. Pray I get better quickly!
