After a short fourteen hour drive, I'm back home in Illinois for three days so far. What a great trip it was! I made money, sure, but I find what I treasure more is the people I met and the time we shared.
Joe, the unknown friend I wrote about a few posts back, showed up and, even though it was the first time we laid eyes on each other, I felt as though I had known him all my life. He didn't look like I thought he would, and yet he was exactly like I knew he would be. And that he took the time to drive out to meet me and say "hello" speaks more of his character and friendship than I had reason to know or expect.
Joe and Diane (more about her in a later post), founded a "Focus Society of Free Thinkers" called the Million Mind March (http://www.theMillionMindMarch.com) with the motto "Change Your Mind...Change Your Income...Change Your Life." I joined the March and I see the change happening already...
Another friend that I met on Facebook through the March was Jason, the truck driver. He said that he would stop by the show and he did. We spent an hour or so talking and getting to know one another. Like Joe and Diane, he has wonderful ideas and an amazing outlook on life.
I already mentioned Bobby and Tommy in an earlier post from the Philadelphia Home Show. At the Morristown Show, I met Diane and Chris, a husband and wife team, who sell DirecTV. They laughed at my dumb jokes and gave me candy. Bill, the cookware guy down the aisle, and I traded stories of show business on the road and mutual friends. And David, the home theater audio/video guy introduced me to the jazz of Earl Klugh. Mellow.
And here's the nice thing, I've even talked with them on the phone since I've been home.
So I guess what I'm saying here is that life is about love and friendship and caring and taking care of each other; people you know and people you don't know yet, because in the end, the nicest thing about having a circle of friends is that they come 'round...
