This is great that you can give back what you have learned. Love the

self-portrait idea!

Hey everyone,

Had the first meeting last night and had 12 people there! I have 2 more who

were not there who are going to do the challenge.

It was interesting since no one has read the book. Everything happened so fast

getting the group started, I didn't have time to get the books, etc.

Anyway, when they came in, I had them do their self-portrait and then I started

with the philosphy of bfl and moved into the video of Hank from the Bfl

success stories. We chatted about the dream list, crossing the abyss, and

goals. They have homework, so we will see how they do by Wednesday. I think

somepeople left witht he deer in the headlights look....Bert, my hubby, told

them that things would make more sense as they read the book....so the book

stores better be well stocked!

I got the flu Tues and Weds. so I am starting my challenge on Monday with Bert!

He is excited and on board now!!! Yippee. We will finish our challenge right

before we leave on our trip out west.

Ok my friends,

That is all.

p.s. Want to know a way to make sure you do the challenge 100%? Form a group

and teach them!!!

, I just can't say enough how impressed I am with you. This is

such an incredible thing you are doing! Grats on such a good turn

out. I so hope they all follow thru and read the book. What a

wonderful decision they are all making for themselves. How lucky

they are to have you and your hubby there to help!

I would love to do somthing like that here but I don't like people!

(LOL, j/k, but not really!) I actually think I would come off like

some drill seargent or somthing. I am horrible about expecting from

others equally what I expect from myself. (That rarely works out

since I am such a freak of nature, LOL!)

Bringing in the trainer sounds like a good idea. Recently, when we

went to a fast food place for breakfast on free day, the sandwich came

with fresh mold! That certainly makes you not want to go back anytime

soon.
