Dear
,
It’s that time of year when the weather is starting to turn cooler, the evenings are coming much earlier, and the lights of Las Vegas, where I live, seem even brighter. We have a new President and change is definitely going to happen.
When you hear a lot of negative talk about worldwide economies and the depression that is on the way, remember…MANY NEW OPPORTUNITIES AWAIT YOU.
The people who pulled the world out of the last depression were people with goals, ambitions, and dreams. You and I have big goals, big ambitions, and big dreams. So while others are wallowing in self pity and their “ain’t it awful” philosophies, stay focused forward.
Now more than ever, it's imperative that you have positive tunnel vision so you will achieve your biggest goals. This can be your best time ever. In whatever darkness you might perceive yourself to be, turn on your light and let it shine brighter than ever before!
The world is waiting for you.
You Are More Than Enough,
(A friend sent this to me and since this is the month we celebrate Veteran’s day I wanted to send it on to you.*)
I put my carry-on in the luggage compartment and sat down in my assigned seat. It was going to be a long flight. 'I'm glad I have a good book to read. Perhaps I will get a short nap,' I thought. Just before take-off, a line of soldiers came down the aisle and filled all the vacant seats, totally surrounding me. I decided to start a conversation. 'Where are you headed?' I asked the soldier seated nearest to me.
Chicago - to Great Lakes Base. We'll be there for two weeks for special training, and then we're being deployed to Iraq. ' After flying for about an hour, an announcement was made that sack lunches were available for five dollars. It would be several hours before we reached Chicago, and I quickly decided a lunch would help pass the time. As I reached for my wallet, I overheard a soldier ask his buddy if he planned to buy lunch. 'No, that seems like a lot of money for just a sack lunch. Probably wouldn't be worth five bucks. I'll wait till we get to Chicago.
His friend agreed. I looked around at the other soldiers. None were buying lunch. I walked to the back of the plane and handed the flight attendant a fifty dollar bill. 'Take a lunch to all those soldiers.' She grabbed my arms and squeezed tightly. Her eyes wet with tears, she thanked me. 'My son was a soldier in Iraq; it's almost like you are doing it for him.'
Picking up ten sacks, she headed up the aisle to where the soldiers were seated. She stopped at my seat and asked, 'Which do you like best beef or chicken?'
'Chicken,' I replied, wondering why she asked. She turned and went to the front of plane, returning a minute later with a dinner plate from first class. 'This is your thanks.' After we finished eating, I went again to the back of the plane, heading for the rest room. A man stopped me. 'I saw what you did. I want to be part of it. Here, take this.' He handed me twenty-five dollars
Soon after I returned to my seat, I saw the Flight Captain coming down the aisle, looking at the aisle numbers as he walked, I hoped he was not looking for me, but noticed he was looking at the numbers only on my side of the plane. When he got to my row he stopped, smiled, held out his hand, and said, 'I want to shake your hand.'
Quickly unfastening my seat belt I stood and took the Captain's hand. With a booming voice he said, 'I was a soldier and I was a military pilot. Once, someone bought me a lunch. It was an act of kindness I never forgot.' I was embarrassed when applause was heard from all of the passengers.
Later I walked to the front of the plane so I could stretch my legs. A man who was seated about six rows in front of me reached out his hand, wanting to shake mine. He left another twenty-five dollars in my palm.
When we landed in Chicago I gathered my belongings and started to deplane. Waiting just inside the airplane door was a man who stopped me, put something in my shirt pocket, turned, and walked away without saying a word. Another twenty-five dollars!
Soon entering the terminal, I saw the soldiers gathering for their trip to the base. I walked over to them and handed them seventy-five dollars. 'It will take you some time to reach the base. It will be about time for a sandwich. God Bless You.'
Ten young men left that flight feeling the love and respect of their fellow travelers. As I walked briskly to my car, I whispered a prayer for their safe return. These soldiers were giving their all for our country. I could only give them a couple of meals. It seemed so little...
###
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.'
(*In memory of my brother, brothers-in-law, step-father, and good friends.)
As this time of Thanksgiving, this is the time to think about the things we have to be grateful for. Spend a half hour alone with a pen and a notebook, write out a list of the people and things you most appreciate in your life. Spend the entire ½ hour writing. Do not stop until the time is up. You will be glad you did!

“I first met Judi several years back while part of a turnaround team at an under performing business. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, presentation, and concern proved to be an integral and important part of the eventual success of the business. Needless to say, Judi had a profound effect on both the professional and personal lives of those she came in contact with (myself obviously included). Since that encounter, I have continued to be connected to Judi as she is one of those few special people in this world that can truly motivate and inspire others. Judi is both well spoken and well written with her work showing her knowledge and interest in everything she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to make a difference, not only in their own life but in the lives of those who work with them.”
