    Hi Becca,
    You are right, there are no coincidences, I had just been laying on my bed crying because I have been working and striving to build a business and had set a goal that by today I would have my first member of my team joined with me, by 9;00 at night I had no one and felt like a failure. I decided to replace my feelings of loserness with an act of faith, so I called a friend whom I had contacted before to see if by some chance she was interested in joining me in my pursuits. There was no answer, but in my address book was your card that you had given to me at a weekend for women a few years ago. I saw the web address and decided to check it out. The first thing I saw was the quote about touching even one life today was a magnificent success. Today I was able to, in the emotional work that I do, help a gentleman break through some walls that had been troubling him, and help him gain a clearer picture of who he is. I realized that even though I didn’t reach one goal, my day was still successful in his eyes, and should be in mine. Then I listened to your talk about grasshopperitis and realized that this new pursuit is out of my comfort zone and that I see the giants all around me, but after listening to your words, I feel renewed in going forward and focusing on the juicy grapes. Thank you for your completly honest and real take on life and the great inspiration that you are to me and to many in this world. I would also love to do what you are doing, in speaking and sharing truths and inspiring others forward. If you ever need a sidekick think of me!!! I’m off to find the milk and honey( and maybe some homemade bread to go with it!) ~Love filled thanks~ Heidi DeGraffenried
