How The World Works Best

It's the final day of NaBloPoMo, and someone's going to win a pair of Happy Feet very soon!

Me, I'm waiting with baited breath to hear the words "You can come see the floors now"
My friend Jerry said he went by to check on the house the other day...that's what Jerry does, as an ex Marine, biker-kinda friend...he checks on your house.

Jerry, who's never much for elated emotional outbursts exclaimed, and I quote "The floors look AWESOME!"

We are going to have a "Floor warming party" sometime after the first of the year. Have my Design Team, call the local media...no wait, lets get the house done first THEN call the local media...do a segment on green building, PermaCrete, Impressive Restorations, the house old man Warr Acres built...I can see it now, The Gazette, Price Tower Arts Center out of Tulsa...

Breathe...just breathe.

The house, The Ware Family, it's all coming together as it should be.
Steph commented yesterday "How did you find Impressive Restorations anyway?"
Honestly, I can't remember. I want to say Craigslist.
All I know is the stars were aligned, but most importantly I was willing to let go of the process, trusting others to heal my home.

So many homeowners cannot do this, and I couldn't for a long time...recall?
It took being beaten down by inexperience and vulnerability, leading me to a place of willingness and open-mindedness.

I learned a few things working along side my dad for some years.
He put me to work early on proof reading his copy. To the day dad died he spelled cat with a "K", but the man was an incredible writer. I'll never forget the day he finally bought a new typewriter with spell check on it, you'd have thought they had just placed a man directly on the moon....

My father's Ad Agency could have been huge. The man could have made a fortune capitalizing on his name, taking advantage of the naive business owner, hustling here, hustling there...typical Ad Exec hooey.

My father's Ad Agency however, was not huge.
In fact some months we struggled to keep the lights on...why?
Because dad was out there helping people, just like always. Showing business owners how to stretch their ad dollars, and where they were getting ripped off by corporate vacuums.

Some of the small businesses my dad helped get started, are now extremely successful companies. Dad would spend hours on end with owners, not charging them a dime (this drove my mother crazy) because he believed in them with all his heart.

If you are sick of hearing about Impressive Restorations and The Ware Family, then I suggest you read another blog. Impressive Restorations is worth my money, my time, my praise, and as soon as I get my office up and running again, my dedication to help them become all they want and more.

This is how the world works best, if you don't know this by now it's high-time you experience it.

So, if you are still working at the shoe store in February, how do I go about ordering 3 pairs of little happy feet to be shipped to the UK ?

I, for one, am not sick of your praise of this incredible company. I went to their website last night, and what they can do is nothing short of miraculous! I can't wait to see your floors!

Oh, and the more you talk about your dad, the more I wish I could have met him, or at least seen his show. I grew up in the wrong part of the country for that.
