@Catharine – Thanks very much!

@Kelly – We’ve already communicated by email, but your public comment deserves a public thank you, as well, so thank you!

@Sandi – I’m so sorry to hear you lost your husband to an accident. Even before this, I always give my wife a hug and a kiss and tell her I lover when I leave to go anywhere. Even if it’s just out for a quick errand. Because you never know when it will be the last time you see someone you love more than anything.

@Jamie – Thanks, buddy!

@Daryle – LOL, I haven’t heard that was what Jeep stood for. And no, I wasn’t video blogging. That would’ve been pretty stupid. Although it would’ve made for some pretty dramatic footage.

In my Jeeping days I learned that JEEP stands for Just Empty Every Pocket. In your case I am happy to hear it did not mean Just Empty Every Pint.

I donated the profits from my very first sale on Etsy. It is not much but I hope that it helps.

At least you weren’t video blogging when it happened. I remember the one you did while driving in the rain. Be careful out there.

Glad you were uninjured. I was in a similar accident many years ago, very scary indeed. Donation on the way!

Mike,

I read about the accident and I am so happy for you & yours that you are okay.

Having lost my husband/bestest friend in a car accident a little over two years ago, I can truly appreciate the value of being able to walk away. All I can say is don’t ever leave home without telling your wife and kids that you love them. You never know when it might be your last chance. My kids and I have found comfort in the fact that the last words we heard from my husband were “I love you.”

Now, walk over to your wife and give her an extra good hug & kiss! You have no idea how much she would have missed just that kind of simple little thing had you not been able to just walk away unharmed!

And I’ll see you at the webinar tonight! I can’t wait…
