Point to Ponder
Are you happy? Are you a carrier?
This past month I encountered and engaged
a wide range of people across Canada. Some were happy, some
were sad, some were worried, and some were glad when their problems
were solved.
 For example: On our way home from speaking
and exploring in Nova Scotia we encountered severe weather when
we were attempting to land in Hamilton. We were just about there
and had to divert to Ottawa to wait until the airline could
assess a plan of action. It was very interesting listening to
the reactions of our fellow travellors. Irene and I travel a
bit so we simply took it as it came and hoped we would eventually
get back into Hamilton and perhaps find our connecting flight
to Edmonton there or hopefully coming in. This is just what happened.... end
result, we were 3 hours late getting into Edmonton and a bit
more tired the next day. Pictured here: Irene and Bob
in Digby, NS.
On Saturday we met Yvonne (the human
vitamin) at our Speaking for Success Boot Camp. Yvonne is a
fitness trainer who wants to be a better speaker. She blew us
away with her very first speech. She was happiness in motion
and brought her vibrant energy to the room. At the end of her
presentation we all felt better.
Are you happy? Are you a carrier?
The choice is yours!
See you next month.

I am glad we finally have
some nice weather. Glad too that we are going to be around to enjoy
it. Other than a trip to Calgary I get to stay home. Lots of
projects to do at our 'only' place now that we have
downsized. Downsizing was both mentally and physically draining for
both of us. But we are here, with too much 'stuff', but we
love it. Over the summer we will continue to sort and selectively
get rid of more un-needed 'stuff'. The Year of the
EDIT continues.
What a
delightfully productive month of May.
 I had the privilege of being the final instructor for
CAPS Atlantic's 1st Fast Track program.We spent the afternoon
talking about this industry and how sales is an essential part of
building and sustaining a speaking and training career. Here I am
with Peter Chapman and our FT team.
 Irene has been working from home for
the last year due to the building where she worked making her sick -
literally. We kept the place in Mundare with the expectation that
she would be able to return to work in the building once the
remodeling was complete - or at least try to come back.
When she was
told at the end of March that she would be working from home
indefinitely, we decided to downsize to one home. Which is now
done, other than finding places and sorting what we brought
over. That is our challenge for the summer so we can regain
the garage before winter.
Here is Irene
and her new friend... yummmmm!
Last Minute News
This as well as catching up and
working to find places for all the 'stuff' we brought from Mundare
when we closed down that house. And of course, complete my
6th in our Pocket Wisdom series: Expect Greatness, Pocket
Wisdom for Success.
Looking forward to the arrival of Amanda
and Michael at the end of the month. They are flying up from
Australia for 3 weeks. It will be great to see them and spend time
with them next month.
