I was just contacted by Troy, the CEO of Emotional Mojo. I didn’t know about this website or the company until they contacted me yesterday. We may be working on a project/video together sometime in the next few months. As time goes on, I will let you know what’s happening… it may be a while. Update: I am being interviewed via Skype on August 20th. The video will be televised sometime after September 1st. Update, September 18th. I just received this link to the video interview.
Troy and others in his company were searching the Internet for people who have inspirational messages to share and they came across my name and website. My journey through life is taking turns that I never could have imagined. I am truly blessed, and honored to be able to keep sharing the message I have been sharing for many years about living life fully, keeping an attitude of gratitude, and being grateful no matter what is happening in our lives. To make time to do the things you want to do now.
After looking at Emotional Mojo website and watching several of the videos they have posted, along with reading about the message they are sharing, I found it to be in line with the message I always try to share on my website… live each day with a good attitude and purpose. Live life to the fullest everyday. Be an inspiration to others, and inspire others on their life journey.
Please make time to explore the Emotional Mojo website and watch some of the videos. It will be well worth your time. Check out their Facebook page.
One of the men that has several videos on this website is Nick Vujicuc. This is a man without arms and legs, he has a powerful message… make time to watch it, then when you have time search the Internet and Utube for more of his inspirational video messages. Here are two of his videos on the Emotional Mojo website, feel like you can’t do it, and the importance of apologizing.
A friend sent the link to a 5 minute video of Jen Bricker who was born without legs, and it didn’t stop her. Can’t is not a word in Jen’s vocabulary. In high school she became the State of Illinois Tumbling Champion.
In July 2013, I met David Nicholson who lost both of his legs in Afghanistan, he is a true hero. I wrote about him in a story on my website. He’s helping a government agency do tests on his bionic legs so that Navy seals who lose limbs can go back into active service.
Yesterday, I went to my doctor to discuss my health condition to see if I will be able to make the trip out west in early September. She confirmed what I already knew was happening in my body since my last visit to her on June 20th. My tumor has increased in size and it’s shifted location a little as it’s growing because there isn’t much room in my abdomen. This is causing it to press harder on my organs and push them against each other and my bones more. The change in position and size of the tumor is also affecting the nerves in my left leg and foot causing more numbness and intermittent pains in my leg, foot, and also my abdomen. We discussed the distance I would be driving and the time it would take. We both feel I can make the trip as long as I am careful and listen to my body for when I need to rest and how many miles I can safely drive in a day. The trip I took in May and June is giving me insight on how to plan for the trip out west. At the end of August, I will see how I’m feeling and make the decision then on whether or not to go.
I’ve still been working on puzzles. Here is the completed Peacock Garden puzzle, and also the puzzle I started called Memories and Dreams.
Update: I updated the story I wrote on July 21st, regarding the puzzles I have been working on, and I added more narrative and also pictures of some puzzles that I may want to add to my list to work on next. I stopped by Prestigious Puzzles today (August 20th) and talked with Lacy the store owner. He has a really large selection of all types and brands of puzzles. His store is where I first saw the SunsOut brand of puzzles. I saw so many beautiful and unusual puzzles there today. Lacy just received a new shipment of puzzles. I saw many I like and want to put on my to do list, he said he can also special order the ones I want that are not in his stock. He carries numerous brands of puzzles, I saw one that has 33,600 pieces. I can’t even imagine trying to work on that size puzzle. Evidently that size puzzle comes in bags with a specific section of the puzzle in a bag so not all the pieces have to be sorted to work on the puzzle.
