Ups & Downs

The kids and I had a down day yesterday. My oldest daughters dear friend is moving out of the state, and this leaves her without any peers nearby. Her friend made a SUPER SWEET (tear-jerker) gift and delivered it.  It is a bulletin board of TONS of the pictures of their happy days together, my daughter added the photo of them together in 2006 when we arrived and first met.

Later last night my business partner and I discussed the INCREDIBLE opportunity that he has been given, and we talked about the logistics of getting him moved out of state.

In all, our closest circle of friends and associates are moving in what feels like an Exodus.

It was a rough day.

Just as I was about to retire for the night, I saw an email, it was a TOTAL surprise from a Stranger-turned-friend and I will share it with you here,

"A couple months ago we did a promotion to help the Gordon family adopt Peter, an orphan from Liberia.
 
Thanks to your generosity, the promotion far exceeded our expectations and the Gordons are closer than ever to meeting their goal.
 
The Gordons just need $1,760 more to meet their goal of raising $16,000 to adopt Peter.
 
It's been a long, tough, and emotionally exhausting journey for them.
 
They're so close, and I'm confident we can put them over the top.
 
So here's the deal: For anyone who donates just $10 or more to their adoption fund, we'll send you a FREE manifesto of your choosing (excluding the personalized Family Manifesto). We'll even cover the shipping costs.
 
How to Get Your FREE Manifesto:
  1. Visit the Gordon's website, scroll down the page and find the yellow "Donate" button on their right sidebar below the video.
  2. Click the "Donate" button and follow the process to donate $10 or more.
  3. Once you've donated, complete the form on this page and tell us which manifesto you'd like us to send you (excluding the personalized Family Manifesto).
Yes, we trust you. 
We need just 176 people to donate $10 and Peter's adoption will be secured.
 
You're going to feel great for a long time after helping Peter secure a loving home. Not to mention you're going to love your free manifesto.

the sweet nectar of life is accompanied by hard trials and ONLY through the cycles of ups & downs do we carve out who we TRULY are.

I am SO BLESSED to have met Stephen Palmer, and his long-distance support has meant SO MUCH to me.

The efforts he has taken to make our journey have been HUGE.

One person CAN make a difference.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, the words seem so hollow in comparison to the emotions that accompany it, THANK YOU once again.
