On Their Way...

We have some close friends who will be heading off for the next couple of years to China. They'll be taking their two children and "studying" Chinese at a University there. I've updated their blog link under "Bryan's Blog" on the right but you can also click here to read more: http://williamsinqinghai.blogspot.com/

We also have another couple, Roger & Camille, who we went to college with who will be returning to the US from China in a couple of weeks. They are expecting and the new arrival will come in about 8 weeks. They have several details to work out between now and that time.

I've also had several exciting opportunities with my business over the last couple of weeks. In the next couple of days I should have a chance to meet with a couple of prospects. I continue to receive positive feedback from my seminars and hope that the material is useful and equips the participants.

Sari Bari

Thought I'd share this link with you. It's an interesting project in India. The Sari blankets are made by women who have left the red light districts in India and have take a brave new step into a new life. This new chance of freedom holds the promise of diginity, respect, and way of life that was never before possible. The Sari Blanket is made made out of five layers of Saris. Each blanket is put together by hand and then hand stitched. Each Sari Blanket is unique and there are no two blankets exactly alike.

What's New...

Benjamin and I spent last weekend in Mississippi to help celebrate my Grandmother's 90th birthday party. There ended up being about 65 people who came to a reception to honor her. She was absolutely thrilled. I give big kudos to my mother and all of her recruits for doing a great job organizing everything. We got to visit with a good amount of family going, returning and in-between. It took me a couple of days to regroup after spending that much time in the car.

I spoke to a community group in town last night sharing ways to come up with funds to save for whatever their goal might be. It went well and it was my first endeavor using powerpoint... somehow I've gotten away with not using it up to this point. Hopefully I'll get it down well before my next couple of seminars. I really enjoy passing along financial resources and knowledge to the general public. It's doesn't really pay well but that's not exactly my goal.

I've also added a link to a friend of ours who recently joined the blog world. ... bynaomi...
