Moving Forward -----Day 28

Today is my early shift for Live Chat and lasts 2 hours, 0700 start time.

Once I get Big Z to school, I have just enough time, usually, to run and errand and go to the USPS before I come back for our Tuesday Coaching Call with Jacki. Our call was short today, only about 20 minutes. Jacki has been consistently giving a "coaching tip of the day" that make listening to all the coaching calls worthwhile, especially if you don't catch them when they are happening live.

With the calling program today, I created some emails that would be tailored to me instead of using the ones provided by the system. I added and deleted info based upon the system's template and copied and pasted them to notepad documents on my system. I also saved copies of them in the system, so that when I make my calls, I can use a drop-down menu to have them sent immediately after I leave someone a voice mail message.

Today I made my new calls and got to send them the new messages I created that I mentioned above.

I volunteered for the Email Campaign asking for 50 members to help contact all MPM members in an attempt to be able to connect with them since email is an unreliable medium to get updated information to people in today's land of the Internet.

I followed up with the person I'd contacted at work last week who asked to reschedule. He is facing prospective surgery and now isn't a good time for him. I will contact him later to ensure his surgery went well and even later still to talk about business.

Big Z and I had a fantastic jaunt around a favorite lake tonight after going to the copy store. We practically jogged most of it, even though I haven't been getting enough exercise lately to do that sort of thing. He wouldn't listen when I complained of not having muscles warmed up and being ready for it, and instead, he put on the speed. Until . . . he got a side ache. I tell you, his spirit was willing, but his side ache slowed him down enough for me to make it through without injuries ;-).

On our journey, we stopped by the home of dear friends to give hugs and support to Mom who had to make an emergency trip to CA to help with her ailing Grandmother this last week. We had a good visit, and we shared about T-Day and our Locks of Love project. Both her kids, as well as she and her husband were quite surprised, but very supportive.

I created and sent a follow-up email to the contact facing surgery, and sending along our good wishes and prayers for his full recovery.

VERY LATE bedtime routine tonight, far too late . . . but it was worth our evening around the lake and being with our friends ;-).
