There have always been a few guiding desires for the creation of Mid Life Celebration…
We all have several diseases that have touched us in a way that we ‘d like to see these diseases irradiated.
Which disease tops your list?
Crohn’s disease is at the top here.
Hate Alzheimer’s disease too.
No expectation for any of us to view the video. Yet it’s always exciting to hear there are folks who are optimistic they can slay it.

Something special is happening in Indiana. Reminds me of Steve Jobs’ garage, and Walt Disney’s uncle’s garage and their used camera in 1923.
Seriously.
All those inspirational sayings that turn us on?
All those stories about the crazy ones, the misfits, the ones who challenged things…
You know the ones.
Ever since eighth grade he wanted to help people lead healthier, more balanced, and joyful lives.
Some advocates have stepped up to help him.
Two of them are in Indiana.
He didn’t ask.
And they didn’t care if he said no thanks. They were prepared to move forward irregardless.
And this Friday, February 28, 2014, in Valparaiso, Indiana – it will be one of those stories told in the future about “the early days” of the Movement.

But one thing we know for sure.
Those inspirational sayings are no longer sayings, they are our battle cries.
We will launch, learn, revise.
And then launch again.
To the ones crazy enough, and bold enough to go first…
Break a leg Monica and Donna.
Life is not a dress rehearsal.
Live like you mean it!
PS. Whatever you need. Whenever you need it.

Most authors make no money from book sales. When you factor time, and expense, it’s pretty much a losing proposition by itself. The exception is when a book goes viral (like getting on Oprah).
The opportunity to generate revenue is from speaking (and perhaps products related to the book’s cause – think “Life is good” brand).
Writing a book adds decent credibility. It’s gutsy – because if it wasn’t, more of us would do it.
Driving a 24-year old car, and keeping expenses low, and determined to raise money until a cure is found.
The original goal was to raise one million dollars, but decided not to limit the amount. Nor stop trying until the cure is here.
Once that’s done, we can move on to the next thing that needs serious help.
A friend’s spouse has had 33 surgeries from Crohn’s disease, and the last one was to remove the only remaining portion of his digestive system.
Our son has Crohn’s and is exponentially more likely to get colon cancer than a person without Crohn’s. Last anyone checked, colon cancer is bad news.
Make no small plans.
