God Sends People and Events in Our Path

I have so much to share with you. I was in Los Angeles twice this month. There was this gentleman who had heard of me, browsed The Tale Of Juliet website and contacted me. He is the Vice-President of a company. Ted and I met with him over lunch, and he offered us potential business opportunities. A few days later, with Ted’s approval, I flew with this VP to Los Angeles where I received first class and 5 star hotel accommodations to meet the president of the company. I couldn’t believe my eyes. While in the air we chatted and later on, he excused himself to finish reading The Tale Of Juliet. I was feeling a bit uneasy and self-conscious because there he was, reading my life. The following morning, we rejoined for breakfast. While waiting for our driver he continued on reading and few moments later he slowly laid the book down, bent over, and gave me a warm hug. He then said softly,”Thank you for sharing your beautiful and inspiring life”. Years ago, when I was young and very poor in the Philippines, I would never in my wildest dreams have imagined moments like this. A few hours later, I was strolling in one of the most prestigious parts of LA with the two tycoons: the Vice President and the President of the company. Nothing much has come out of that yet, but future potential is on the table, so who knows. That precious moment and the experience alone were worthwhile for me.

Then, our eldest daughter Michelle and I flew to Atlanta, Georgia to attend a conference where we met with renowned Internet Gurus. The World Wide Web both fascinates and scares me. I know very little of how it works. I am a bit behind this technology, and I decided to take a plunge and get into it. I have not improved or done much since – being busy traveling around is my excuse. One of the best things that ever happened was meeting all the like-minded people. Thanks to the encouragement of Julie.

Another great thing that happened, was meeting Nate Bunger. I had heard about his name two weeks before. His name was all over the place in the web as a high school drop out who showed the world how he built a product from the stage and earns USD $12,000+ in less than 72 hours. I said to myself “How I wish I could meet this guy.” Lo and behold, our first day in Atlanta, this person was in the same conference as we were. We have since met twice and started sharing our hopes and dreams via e-mail. My husband Ted and I will be meeting him and his family for dinner. By the way, he has also purchased a copy of The Tale of Juliet and became an avid fan. How honored I am to have met him. He is a young cookie. It is very humbling to meet such a young person with BIG DREAMS and wanting to make a difference in the lives of others. He is such an inspiration to me and will be, to many in many years to come.

Last week I had the huge opportunity to be a member of the support team of Mark Victor Hansen. It was another phenomenal experience to witness and be a part of what goes on behind the scenes of an event such as the Mega Speaking Empire in Los Angeles. As you probably know, Mark is one of my mentors. He is very instrumental in making The Tale of Juliet happen. Without his persuasion and encouragement, The Tale of Juliet would have never been a reality.

I can’t even begin to tell you all the great things that happened and the wonderful connections made while I was there. My point here is to always strive for the best and connect with people. Open your hearts and minds to be with like-minded people as well as people bigger than yourself. Learn from them, and continue to enjoy the journey along the way.

I also had the opportunity to chat with a couple of the waiters who happened to be Filipino. They have been in the United States for just over a year. I gave them words of wisdom and encouraged them to strive for the best and always learn something new. I understood how lonely they could be, being away from their families. There will always be ups and downs. I told them to create a vision, have a goal, dream big and uplift their lives and their families. By doing this, anything and everything can come true.

Lot’s more to share with you next time.

THINK BIG. DREAM BIG!
