A trip to Cancun

Just when Shane was wrapping up the call on a Wednesday afternoon, sitting in my office I decided. His call to come see him was so genuine that I could not deny him the privilege or myself the honor of attending a Liberty League event – the Liberty Conference. I have become who I could possibly be and now I was looking to take another leap of faith in the direction of where I want to be.


I intended not to spend a penny on advertisement and yet find the perfect person who would be there for my children on evenings and nights when I was gone for the trip and also take them to school and bring them home. Right in front of me was the ad of a lady who was offering book-keeping services. I wrote to her asking her if she would watch my children when I had to travel out of town. She and I exchanged a few letters and she said YES. It was a major breakthrough since their Dad had left home. All I had wanted to do be there for them twice over. Now I was headed for a break through.


I looked up on the internet and found direct flights to and from Cancun for less than $400 inclusive of taxes. I went ahead and purchased them. The next day Michelle called and I told her of my travel plans and the flights I was booked on. God had not only decided to give me the wisdom to know but also the courage to take action and finally a friend to travel with. Michelle called me back 2 days later saying she had her passport and also her tickets to Cancun booked on the same flight.


MICHELLE & I in Cancun
We arrived in Cancun and spend three days at the conference and enjoying the hotel, the water, the weather which was a perfect. The sun wasn’t too bright and the days were of even 60 deg.F. The food was delicately flavored and the people at the event were friendly and caring. It was like a wonderful home coming. I danced for hours in the evenings and felt the power of the rhythm and motion. This is who I really was and knew myself to me for so very a long time.






The leaders and the speakers were great but the best part was knowing that this is who I am and this where I belong.


Michael Losier spoke of the Law of Attraction. Here was a man who had a very simple message nothing new or profound. But the best part was when he said he had been invited to speak in Panama and the number of people attending were 200 and he cancelled it because he was looking for a bigger crowd. I trust that he will return to Panama when they have 2000 people. For each of those 200 people will go out and attract 10 more people into their being so as to have Mr Losier bring his message to them. Here was a man who was taking a stand not just for himself but for 200 others in a land unknown. WOW!



Andy Andrews spoke of the 7 decision, but the best part was when the story of his 7 yr old son Austin, who being in the base ball field in Orange beach Alabama held on to his dad and cried. He said “Daddy, I am afraid.” There is a 7 year old in each of us who is afraid. Everyone is looking for someone they can confide in who will suspend all judgment and be there for them, hold them and tell them “it’s okay! I understand what you say. I know how you feel.” He also spoke of how his younger son who is four now. Andy and his son go out every night before bed and the child counts the stars. Adam has been doing this since he was 2. He points at the stars and says “Star, star, star, star, star, star, Moon… only one moon Daddy?” and Andy says “Yes, only one moon.” But many stars. It is wonderful to count the stars “star, star, star…” while pointing at them instead of 1,2,3… What a blessing, to recognize each star as a star, each person as a person and not as a number. I am neither my name nor a number identifying my age. Among all that’s profound of life that Andy made us aware of once more, the best was his sharing his prayers. Every morning we ask God bless me and everything we say again God bless us. And God is sure waiting saying “do something so I may bless it”. As we take action God blesses our action with results.


Finally Doug Weed, the world renowned author, speaker, Presidential advisor. On the inaugural night he spoke of “why network marketing?” and why Liberty League International is the best there. We do not need thousands of people signed up to make thousands or our millions. All we need is three people to get us started and putting our first thousand dollars into our pockets.



On our farewell night, he spoke from his research of 17years based on which he has published two books. One is on presidential children and the other is on presidential parents. What I received from his talk was that no one needs a great parent to be a great person. And great parents do not ensure great children. The children with less pressure on them and lurking in the shadows with a good strong mother who believe in them turn out to be great leaders. Bottom line: I am free from both my heritage and nationality. Whatever I make of myself is all up to me. If I fail it is because of the actions I took or did not and when I succeed it is only due to the actions I took and the choices I made.
