I have to say, today has been a tough day for me. I got my 5 YESTERDAY, but it was tough. My girlfriend came home from the hospital (she has breast cancer we found out last week) I made some homemade soup for her and brought it over. We talked for along time. It was a nice evening, but I felt so sad and so drained. She is the 6th person I know that has Cancer this year. I have to do something for Cancer Research with one of my malls. That seems obvious to me.
I haven't got much sleep like the rest of us. Today I woke up with a sore throat etc. Basically, SO WHAT. No excuse!
Started out the day helping my son on a huge project for school. We have been putting it off for some time, because of Football. Footballs over and now with the Boot Camp, I've been telling him we will do it tomorrow and then the next day would go by and so on. I felt horrible about that. So I made sure we got started today. It's a work in progress.
Earlier in the day I had talked to a friend and mentioned that if she had time, I had some information for here regarding My Power Mall. She had asked me a few questions in the past, so I felt ok asking her. We talked about the kids acting up today, etc.. then she said she was off to go uptown shopping for Thanksgiving. I was walking out the door too, and was hoping to bump into her. My first stop was the Grocery store. I looked all over for her, but she wasn't there. The mood in the store felt very unapproachable. Everyone was in such a hurry~ no one would really look at you they were in a race to get their stuff and get home. I don't blame them. I was at the checkout and ran into a friend I hadn't seen in awhile. I use to buy Mary Kay from her. She was actually happy to see me because she stopped Mary Kay and switched to another company. I told her I'd be happy to look at her products ~ and of course I asked if she would be willing to help me out and check out the information on the Card. She looked at it and paused ~ I did mention the American Express Gift Cards for here at the Grocery store and she quickly replied that she uses the Script cards from school. I understand that..she's helping the school, but she didn't hang around long enough for us to talk any longer. I was going to tell her she could get rebates and help the school with MPM. Hopefully during the following up we can talk more.
Now, I'm still on the hunt in town for the first friend I had talked to earlier in the day. I went to get gas and as I was pumping it...I spotted her at the car wash, it's funny now when I think of it because I didn't approach anyone at the Gas station I just hurried up got in the car and went across the street. I pulled up behind her and she yelled as she was washing "Are you stalking me?" I laughed and said "AbsolutelyYES LOL! I waited and started cleaning out my car until she was done so I could hand her a card. She took quite a while. As I was waiting I found enough quarters to wash my own when she was done so it didn't look like I truly was stalking her.
Finally, I gave her my card and told her I was in the Boot Camp and asked if she would check out My Power Mall. She asked when I was going to sit and explain it to her. I said I didn't need to. There was a 1/2 million dollar presentation all ready and waiting for her that could explain everything much better than I could. Although I'd be happy to sit and help her through the Mall :)
Finally, I was leaving town and realized I had to turn around and go to the Pharmacy to pickup some Zicam for my cold (love this stuff!). I turned around and parked in the lot right next to her again! She asked again if I was stalking her I assured her this time it was a No.
There's a nice woman at the Pharmacy (Cashier) I always talk to but for some reason have never mentioned My Power Mall to her. I asked if she would help me out by being one of the 5 people I need to talk to about MPM. She listened about the shopping, but then I remembered what Ginny said this morning about helping a local charity. So I mentioned I was going to help the Food Pantry in town. She was happy to give me her information. Thanks for a great idea Ginny :)
So, I only got 3 today. Pretty disappointed in myself for ALONG time today. But then I remembered to be thankful for the 3 that I had received. I need to spend time with hubby too! I miss him. I will just have to get 7 on Friday. I BELIEVE I CAN DO IT!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving

Hi Debbie,
Every day, as you push through your fears and realize every person around you buys Groceries, Gas and toilet paper - it will be easier and easier to share. I'm glad you helped your son and were there for your friend - not to mention spending time with your husband! As you realize that EVERY person is a prospect it won't take you so long to track down those you already know. :) AND, as you let people know you are supporting a local charity, it will open doors as you also use My Power Mall to make a difference.
7 for Friday. I BELIEVE YOU WILL DO IT!.
Happy Thanksgiving!
