Got this note from Chris Moos …
It’s about the outpouring from the jvAlert/Impact family when his 13 year old grandson Sam underwent a craniotomy last week.
Sam is safe from the most pressing part, having survived the operation and is now on the long road of recovery. Each of us loves and cares, hoping and praying that this will be full and speedy. But just to have him is a blessing and that is what we have counted.
Not for the last time do I thank each and every one of you for the prayers and good will shared with our families this past week.
AS for the good news here — I won’t be troubling you much more like this on late evening or early morning emails. We created a site, that Sam’s dad (Chris -my son) will be using to keep the world up-to-date.
Please feel free to share it, read it, send your prayers or comments – All of these are felt, received and sincerely appreciated.

Your shared faith, hopes, prayers and strength sustained us this past week. Thank you to all of you, for all that you have given us.
Thank you again,
Chris
The note reminded me that the hard part is when all the loved ones go away.
It’s tough when something bad happens.
So many times, our friends and loved ones come to the rescue.
They bring meals, they chip in, they do whatever they can to help.
But, sooner or later — usually sooner — we go back to doing what we do.
We need to.
That’s the really tough time.
When all the guests have left. When all the loved ones go away.
So when something bad happens to someone you care about, mark it down on the calendar to do something special for that person.
Not Today!
Even though your support is needed now, your help will be even more important when all the loved ones have gone away.
Give yourself a reminder to make sure something good happens when the tough time comes.
Most people will have moved on and that’s when your loved one will need your support the most.
All the best,

YOU can be!
We’re working RIGHT NOW with a select set of amazing people who have committed to be co-authors in my next best-selling book and have a huge impact.
If you’ve been sitting on the fence, now is the time to be a decision-maker.
I want you to stop and ask yourself a very important question.
How long will you put off your dream of being a bestselling author?
Because you know, that’s what we are doing with the story of impact!
We’re creating the book, creating a fabulous online experience for the readers (which is also a revenue stream for you), and taking the book to #1 bestseller.
In just a few months, you could be a #1 bestselling author with a story in our book – and you don’t even have to write the story!
Ronda Del Boccio will make you shine like the star you are, so all you have to do is keep being you.
We need to finalize who is truly committed to this project. Many people raised your hand and said you wanted to be in the book. Now the question is, how committed are you?
We’re doing all the work for you.
So now it’s decision time.
Will you become a #1 bestselling author with us (without writing a word), or will you see the book hit #1 and say to yourself, “I wish I had gotten past my fear and procrastination and gotten off my rear. That could have been ME!”
If you think this is a fit for you, just send me an e-mail at ken AT jvAlert.com and let me know that you want to talk.
All the best,

Here’s a help desk ticket that I got from Susan – a teacher in Las Vegas about my post …
You can click here to read the original post
I am a teacher in Las Vegas. Due to many factors–No Child Left Behind, test scores, second language student….on and on. I discussed and shared your story Ducks Quack, Eagles Soar with my principal. We feel our teachers are in great need of hearing the story and being able to see a video with the story. How do I find the speech being told in person by Ken McArthur?
Susan
Here’s my response …
Hi Susan,
Many thanks for sharing the message.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a video of my telling that story, but here’s what I did do …
I’ve passed it on.
If you notice in the blog post Wayne Dyer talked about the idea on the radio, the cab driver passed it to Harvey MacKay who told the story to someone, an anonymous article writer picked up the story and published it, someone passed that article on to my father, who passed it on to me and I passed it on to you.
That’s impact.
The small things in life that make the biggest differences.
Now it’s your turn.
Make YOUR video and pass the story on, because YOU get to make a difference right now to potentially millions of children and teachers who need to hear words like these.
Let me know how it goes for you, because I’m writing a new book on how these tiny actions can change the world. You and those you touch could be in the book too.
All the best,
Ken
Just notice how many times someone passed this simple message on so that Susan could be touched by the simple message.
If just ONE of them hadn’t passed on the message, that impact wouldn’t have been made.
Then notice how many more people Susan could impact by spreading this simple message to the people around her.
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and hope you pass on any good things that may come your way.
All the best,
Ken McArthur

And many more …
P.S. As I told Susan, I’m writing a new book on how these tiny actions can change the world. You and those you touch could be in the book too. It’s still not too late to be a co-author, but soon it will be. If you have an interest click here now.
