Pull Them Into Your Peace

I really like this one. Last year I had my test with this one and had to learn to be calm in the face of a lot of teenage emotional storms. The calmer I got the better it got. Yet it was easier said than done and like a quote I read " I'm Irish what the feck is calm?" but I learned to be calmer than even the calm person I am on a set. And I can say Calm is a great state to be in and now I have a new metaphor to apply.

The Message of You - Judy Carter

Then it was off to Burbank to attend Comedian Judy Carter's Event to welcome her new book "The Message of You". Judy's message and book is an inspirational message of how we need to share the life messages many of us have and how we have gone from "Mess to Success". 
She shared a great story from her book about a speech she gave at Long Beach VA to veterans with spinal cord injuries from iraq and Afghanistan. She introduced one young man in the audience Nick Mendez who is a paraplegic from an IED. She shared him telling her" how a doctor told him he would never walk or move his hands again and hime telling and showing her that he is almost able to give that doctor the finger now". 
I recommend you check out her book and if you have a message in you it will help you share it and make a difference in other's lives.

Wanted to share this email from a chiropractor friend of my wife. He was a marathon runner when he experienced this traumatic injury. He has been struggling for years and now is going to run in a Triathlon. He is truly an inspiration and as he wrote on his FB page "Four years ago I would never had imagined my life would be like this. So be grateful for what you have. Take pleasure in the things you have. Because tomorrow it could be taken away."
Please support his run. Thanks

Hi there!  I hope this email finds you well.  The reason I am writing this email is because I need some help.  As many of you know I suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in Nov. 08.  It's kinda like a stroke.  Up to now it's been a long road of physical therapy.  It is slowly paying off.  For those of you that see me every once in a while you may think that the progress is great.  But to me it is very slow.  As many of you know I was very into competing in triathlons before my injury.  And this March I will be participating in the Pasadena Triathlon.  It will be the first time for me since the accident.  It's gonna be slow bit I am going to finish.  The run is going to be more of a walk.  With two people holding my arms so I don't fall it's gonna take us some time to finish the 3.1 mile "run".  The bike should be good.  I will be on a 3 wheel recumbent bike.  It's not going to be anything close to what I am used to but that's ok.  The swim is in the Pasadena Aquatic Center's pool.  The swim is going to take me some time but that's ok I will finish.  I am very exited for this opportunity.  It's going to be a fabulous day.

Now is where you come in.  I am fundraising for my triathlon and I can use your assistance.  Any donation, big or small will help.  So if you could please donate I would be much appreciative. Many thanks for reading this and for your donations.Here is the link to donate
