Dear Friends,
Tough times all around, huh? But they are exciting times because you
are in the midst. You are here for "such a time as this." I'm am
thankful for yet another day to be able to get in there and change
things around that I can manage and leave the rest to God.
"Let
Go and Let God," is the word I received from a old clarinet player at
the Embarcadero Station in San Francisco a few weeks ago. His
admonishment in response to my smileless face reminded of what I had
shared with Miss Kelly's Butterflies during a class they had at the EOC
over the summer. "So what if life gives you challenges? So what if you
don't have the money you want. So what if you didn't get that job? So
what if your friends "don't get you" anymore and its bye bye to BFF? So
what? So what are you gonna do?
What are you going to do? Be
thankful, first and foremost that you are still around to overcome the
circumstances. "Under the circumstances,".... It's time to get from
under the circumstances. With God's help, you can overcome. "The enemy
shall not outwit you neither shall the son of wickedness afflict you,"
Psalm 89:22. Time to outwit the circumstances. You can do it.
As
I think of outwitting the enemy, I marvel at Dr. Brenda Wade who is on a
quest to bring America's divorce rate down from 51% to 8.5% in five
years. Wow! A lady with a mission and a plan, the launch of Dr.
Brenda's five year quest with the International Love, Money, and Seva
Summit, December 9-12 in San Francisco is an audacious "So What!" "Net
Saver," anyone?
 The
realities of our families Thanksgiving gatherings provide reminders
that we need to do something. If the U.S. can send a man to the moon,
we the people can get down to the heart of the matter and save our
relationships, marriages and children.
It's Thanksgiving!
So What?
Happy Thanksgiving!

America's families. America has a 51% divorce rate that "Dr. Brenda"
can be cut down to 8.5%. During this time of Thanksgiving, it's a good
time to make a serious assessment and decide to save our relationships,
our families and children. Share this story with any friends, families
or colleagues that may be struggling in their relationships or
marriages. There are answers. Business leaders check out how "Dr. Brenda" can help your staff.
By
the way, "Dr. John," no not the 60's/70's crooner; Dr. John Gray of

Brenda" at the International Love, Money, Seva Summit, December 9-12 in
San Francisco. Read More.
