2013THANK YOU thank you THANK YOU!!!!!!
I am in AWE of you.
YES you, my friends, my clients, my fans….. My new business manager Kim just arrived, we meet up most Sundays and work on my business a few hours in the afternoon, organizing and working on some new systems. This afternoon Kim came in and handed me a card….
Inside that card were letters of encouragement and love from a few pretty amazing ladies who have gone above and beyond anything I have ever seen AND PLANE TICKETS!!. Oh Em GEE!!!!
Today i was given the gift of an all expense paid trip to go to the finals by you all. To say I’m surprised and excited is an under statement.
Kim and I had a conversation after the Top 10 were announced and I made a hard decision to not go to Toronto for financial reasons, having been off a few weeks with the flood in my studio and then the hit I took with the accident i was just in just really has stretched the bank account, I just could not see a way or feel good about spending that much money on me, AND also I was a little afraid to head out alone across Canada. Kim and my husband both encouraged me to go but I just couldn’t see a way, well apparently you guys all had other plans and now I AM GOING!!!! And as a bonus, Kim has offered to come along at her own expense…. how amazing, I am so so so freaking out right now!!!!
I have a couple other companies I would really like to thank Gillanders Wine Cellar (please go like them) and Rosa from Rocofit Heath and Fitness (please go like them too for me!!) …… from what I have been told these 2 companies have donated some amazing prizes to a raffle that was organized by my new friend Felicia Foggetti (mentioned in my previous blog) and a new client of mine and long time fan (you really put me in tears) Chris and Belanina Brant the Owners of Gillanders Wine Cellar…. (i still can’t get over how you 2 would take so much time out of your lives to do this for me)….. and I have to thank Sarah Henderson my very talented seamstress and friend for all your hard work on selling so many tickets, Kim has filled me in on all your efforts and you did it, you all raised enough money to send me round trip, AND hotel!!
I had given Kim a free session a few months ago for a wedding client she sent my way and she told me that this was one of the prizes she donated, with that and the above donors prizes ($100.00 gift basket from Gillanders, and $95 gift basket from Rocofit)…. First off YOU ARE ALL SO DAMN SNEAKY ( i was wondering why i had no bookings next weekend and since Kim does my bookings I should have known!!) and secondly, you ALL ROCK!!!!
I have decided to match Kim’s session and donate another one as a second prize……. but really thank you all so much for all your support and donations. Im extremely humbled by this no matter what happens next weekend, in my heart I feel like I have already won the best prize ever.
Having you all on my team is more then any business and Mompreneur could ever ask for.
Love
Lisa Marie
