Sandy R
Hi Bern, this is Sandy, of course, and as you all know, back in, I believe, 2002, it was May, when Ron coaxed me into attending the Life Formula event. You know very well, and I know that you remember this very well, that I sat there for the first half of the day with my arms literally crossed because I knew in my mind that you were going to try to sell me something.
And I knew in my mind that you were going to really try to put something over on me and my husband, and I was, I was closed to everything. however, right before lunch broke, you relayed the story of, I believe it was you and Marley, how you accompanied her to the, to the mall, and it was her day, and you accompanied her to do whatever she wanted to do, and whether that was eating ice cream on the mall floor, or playing with the cones so that people don’t trip.
Whatever it was, it was totally your day to be with your granddaughter, and when you, when you conveyed that story, I welled up inside, and that was when the walls inside my mind and in my heart began to melt, and when Ron and I were at lunch, I relayed that story back to Ron, how that made me feel, and when we returned after lunch, my mind was totally open. And at that time, I knew that I was able and willing to listen and to absorb and to really hear what you were saying.
So I want to thank you, and I’m always trying to be here now, it doesn’t always work successfully for me, but life is that process of learning, and I’m always trying to stay in that learning mode, and I don’t ever want to be a part of that, that rote boat, as, as you well know, so thank you Byrne, I love you, we love you, and we’ll be talking, thank you.
