New thing to do—Watch the FACES of the FINISH LINE!!!!!

When I was in Dallas working on an informercial for Transformation.com, I got the chance to watch people who crossed the finish line. I was there to interview a few people and hear how they felt once the achieved their goal of running a marathon, but I was overtaken by inspiration as I really, REALLY watched the faces of the second a person succeeds in the personal triumph of this one moment. I decided to give my attention to peoples faces as they crossed the finish line. This may seem like a simple thing to do, but if you really give yourself over to this moment, you see the magic that happens, and …well, you just feel good inside watching it. Click play to watch a feel-good dosomethingnew. Oh and today, maybe stop for a second and notice someones face, look into their eyes and imagine them crossing a finish line of their own personal journey. Its a way to pray for someone without even trying. :)

    Rachel,
    SUPERFANSASTIC! It was great to meet you in Dallas and shoot a little clip with you.
    (stingraybabe and stingraystripe…Billie and Bill) Anyway, I am suggesting that you
    come to the BUCKEYE Nation and go to an OSU game. There is one condition: you have to paint your toe nails scarlet and grey and wear a buckeye necklace! We moved to Ohio 3 years ago and had never seen anything like it…BUCKEYEY FEVER, that is!

    So, if you are up for it let us know and we will make it happen, captn!

    ENERGY!
    Billie

    Oh Billie, not only is Rachel from Michigan but if she hasn’t already told you, both our big brothers went to MICHIGAN and I’m pretty sure she’ll be disowned if she goes scarlet and grey:)!!!! (“GO BLUE!” – that’s for JCR who I’m sure felt the disturbance in the force just thinking of you cheering on the Buckeyes)

    That is too funny…We have only lived in the Columbus area for 3 years…and I don’t know all of the specifics, but I am sure that I would be banned from ever crossing the state line again if I were to venture there….on purpose, that is! Anyway, this is a fun way to expierence life and something new! LIFE, so fun when you are in the right mind set! HAPPY DAY! Billie
