Emerson This week's "Something Extra": The Importance Of Planting Good Seeds Keep Good Thoughts In 2004 I was had the privilege of the platform at the Gas Processors Association Convention in New
Orleans. The convention was held at the Hilton Riverside Hotel. I really wanted to be the keynote speaker. However after interviewing me, the meeting planner asked me to give a prayer breakfast presentation. I had never given a prayer breakfast talk before. The meeting planner asked me if I knew of a piano player that could play for the prayer breakfast. I said, let me think about it and I will get back to you today. I called someone that brought me in each year to give a fun filled
presentation at East Jefferson Hospital for the Cancer Survivors Brunch. I remembered a piano player at the breakfast that was very good. I asked for the piano player's name and phone number. I called the piano player and told him about the possible engagement at the Hilton Riverside Hotel. He called the meeting
planner and was given the job to play during the breakfast. When I fail to prepare, I prepare not to do so well! I prepared my best presentation for the prayer breakfast! They paid my full fee. I also asked for a testimonial note that I could use in my marketing
efforts. Ten years later someone called me and said... Hmm... wonder what was said? Let's take a look: Hope you have a great day
today! Sending you love and blessings, Marlene Oh yes, a link to the image or you can copy and paste the url into your browser |
