Apr 7th That Time I Went Blind

When I joined my first opportunity, I went blind.

 

Blind to logic.

 

Here’s what I mean.

 

Like a loyal team member, I did everything they told me to do.

 

That also meant following the standard script they give you for talking with people. I didn’t like it when I read it, but said to myself:

 

“Hey, it’s a big, successful company. So they must know what they’re talking about!”

 

Right?

 

WRONG!!

 

It didn’t work, as you can guess.

 

The worst part was my blindness to a simple, logical fact.

 

If you don’t like the script, nobody else will.

 

I followed the script with religious devotion for five whole weeks.

 

Then I put it where it belonged – the trash can.

 

What did I do instead?

 

The complete opposite of everyone else.

 

Talking to people with sincerity, trying to see if the opportunity was a good fit for them, and acting like a real human being.

 

This way I saved time and energy.

 

I started getting more sign ups than ever before.

 

Everything fell into place.

 

That’s why I hate scripts – they don’t work,  and they make you look like a fool.

 

BUT . . . you know what is EVEN BETTER than not having to follow scripts when you call prospects?

 

Not having to call prospects at all!   🙂    🙂    🙂

 

That is one of the reasons I am so glad I found this top-notch business!

 

Today, I want to invite you in.

 

To your massive success,
Linda Gracy
P.S. One other reason I hate scripts nowadays?

 

They’re written by people with no real life experience.

 

You can waste time and even get ridiculed as you try to use them.

 

Why do this to yourself?

Jun 18th Are You Prepared For the CRASH? You DO Know There’s Going To Be One, Right?

I read today that the national debt is GROWING at the rate of $1,800,000,000 per day!  Yes, that’s one BILLION eight-hundred MILLION dollars PER DAY!  Our country is so far in debt, there’s no way we can ever climb out!

 

So what do our lawmakers in their infinite wisdom do? They allow the Fed to continually PRINT more and more “money!”  So, if you know your history, and the fact that history repeats itself, you KNOW what is going to happen!  Yes, the dollar is going to crash and become worthless.

 

(But don’t take MY word for it!  Do your homework and see what the experts have to say about it.)

 

Woe unto those whose life savings is tied to the American dollar! (Such as in IRAs, cds, 401Ks, etc)

 

So what is a person to do???

 

Be sure your savings is in HARD ASSETS, NOT in American dollars, or in ANY fiat currency, or even in the stock market!

 

Hard assets include things like gold, silver, and real estate.  Real estate is NOT very liquid, so we need to be sure and have enough of our savings in gold and/or silver.

 

Be sure you have the actual, physical precious metals, in your own possession, (such as locked away in a wall safe) and not just certificates of metal assets with some brokerage company somewhere!   

 

When the crash comes, you will be so glad that your retirement funds didn’t all go up in smoke!

Apr 9th Big News In The Gracy Family

1. Our daughter is getting married on May 3 . . .  so the upcoming wedding

is definitely a major, exciting project!  It’s going to be a really neat, fun wedding

at a really cool place called Simple Pleasures.  We’re hoping the weather will

cooperate so that it can be an outdoor wedding, but since it SNOWED here on

May 3 last year, we knew we had to go with a place that has an indoor option!  

So .  . . whether outdoors or indoors, it’s going to be a wonderful wedding. 

 

Our future son-in-law is the GM of Crabby’s, the best seafood restaurant in the

area (that’s NOT just the proud mother-in-law’s opinion – they really received

that award!) so the food will be out of this world, as it will be catered by Crabby’s.

(And no, it won’t just be seafood – Crabby’s also has the best steak and chicken

dishes, as well as appetizers and desserts that you can get anywhere!)

 

 

2. THEN . . . we learned that our son and his wife are expecting our first grandchild

right before the wedding!  The doctor originally set the due date as May 2!! —

YES, THE DAY BEFORE THE WEDDING(!) . . . but has more recently settled on

April 25 for the due date.  Our son and daughter-in-law have gone from being

members of the wedding party to just hoping they will be able ATTEND the 

wedding!  Either way, it will be an EXCITING spring!

 

I am so proud of the baby quilt I just made, BY HAND,  ALL BY MYSELF . . . and

finished it with a whole 2 hours to spare just before the baby shower!  lol.

 

 

I am trying to decided if I am going to be “GiGi” or “MiMi” . . . because, as  I’m

sure you will agree, I am WAY TOO YOUNG to be “Grandma!”  LOL

 

Then we need to figure out who Terry is going to be . . . because if I’m too

young to be “Grandma,” I’m also too young to be married to Grandpa!  Right?!?  

I like “Pop Pop” but Terry is not so crazy about it.  He likes “G-pa” the best so far,

but our son vetoed that. I can’t remember his exact comment, but it seemed

like it had something to do with “gangster” or “rapper” or something like that.

 

SO . . . I would LOVE to hear your feedback!  Please leave me a message below

and let me know if you like “GiGi” or “MiMi” better, and let us know your

favorite alternative to “Grandpa.”  (Or if I need to just grow up and accept the

fact that I’m OLD, and married to “Grandpa!”  lol)

Dec 9th An Important Message From Andy Rooney

I just received the following in an email, and I agree with it so wholeheartedly that I decided to share it here. If you also agree with this, please share it with everyone you know.  It really IS time that we quit being the “silent majority” and started defending our rights, while there’s still time!  Be sure and read it to the very end . . . the last line is probably not what you’re expecting it to be!

 

Pray if you want to!

 

Folks, this is the year that we RE-TAKE AMERICA & CANADA

 

 ********* Get Ready *********
 
Keep this going around the globe.

 

Read it and forward every time you receive it…

 

We can’t give up on this issue.

 

Andy Rooney and Prayer

 

Andy Rooney says:

 

I don’t believe in Santa Claus, but I’m not going to sue somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December.

 

I don’t agree with Darwin , but I didn’t go out and hire a lawyer when my high school teacher taught his theory of evolution.

 

Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered in any way because someone says a 30-second prayer before a football game.

 

So what’s the big deal?

 

It’s not like somebody is up there reading the entire Book of Acts. They’re just talking to a God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the players on the field and the fans going home from the game.

 

But it’s a Christian prayer, some will argue.

 

Yes, and this is the United States of America, and Canada, countries founded on Christian principles.

According to our very own phone book, Christian churches outnumber all others better than 200-to-1.

 

So what would you expect —  Somebody chanting Hare Krishna?

 

If I went to a football game in Jerusalem , I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer.

 

If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad, I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.

 

If I went to a ping pong match in China , I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha.

 

>
And I wouldn’t be offended.

 

It wouldn’t bother me one bit.

 

When in Rome …..

 

But what about the atheists? Is another argument.

 

What about them?

 

Nobody is asking them to be baptized.

 

We’re not going to pass the collection plate.

 

Just humor us for 30 seconds.

 

If that’s asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear plugs.

 

Go to the bathroom.

 

Visit the concession stand.

 

Call your lawyer!

 

Or, just exercise their right to leave this country!

 

Unfortunately, one or two will call their lawyer.

 

One or two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do.

 

I don’t think a short prayer at a football game is going to shake the world’s foundations.

 

Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights.

 

Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating, to pray before we go to sleep.

 

Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing.

 

Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying.

 

God, help us.

 

And if that last sentence offends you, well, just sue me.

 

The silent majority has been silent too long.

 

It’s time we tell that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard that the vast majority doesn’t care what they want!

 

It is time that the majority rules!

 

It’s time we tell them, “You don’t have to pray; you don’t have to say the Pledge of Allegiance;
you don’t have to believe in God or attend services that honor Him.

 

That is your right, and we will honor your right;

 

But by golly, you are no longer going to take our rights away.

 

We are fighting back, and we WILL WIN!”

 

God bless us one and all…Especially those who denounce Him, God bless America and Canada , despite all our faults, we are still the greatest nations of all.

 

God bless our service men who are fighting to protect our right to pray and worship God.

 

Let’s make 2013 and 2014 the years the silent majority is heard and we put God back as the foundation of our families and institutions.

 

And our military forces come home from all the wars.

 

Keep looking up.

 

If you agree with this, please pass it on.

 

If not delete it.

 

BUT REMEMBER SHOULD YOU DELETE IT, that’s one reason why this world is in the mess we’re in now.

 

WE  JUST SIT BACK & LET IT HAPPEN!!

Nov 12th A Thank You To The Brave Men and Women of The Armed Forces

. . . AND to their families! Thank you for the tremendous sacrifices you have made and continue to make on a daily basis to defend us and our freedoms that we all too often take for granted.  We all need to remember that Freedom isn’t free! It comes at a very high price, which you pay for the rest of us.

It is my sincere hope that this day finds you in safety and comfort, surrounded by your loved ones, as we all work toward the day that all of mankind can live together in peace.

I took this picture at the Pearl Harbor Memorial at Pearl Harbor.  

This monument is inscribed with a poem that Eleanor Roosevelt carried in her wallet during World War II, and I thought it was appropriate for Veterans Day.

I had hoped you’d be able to read it from the picture, but since you can’t, this is what it says:

“Lest I continue / My Complacent Way / Help me to remember / Somewhere Out there / A man died for me today. / As long as there be war I then must / Ask and answer / Am I worth dying for?”

That’s something we all need to think seriously about.

Peace and God Bless!
