So I have been spinning in circles...
I have to make a decision that can only be my decision - genus thought huh!! lol
However, the presence of questions (or comments) may lend to more focused thinking and review of options/abilities.
So... the facts:
1. Mom is in FL and has Lung cancer spread through lymph. Given about 6mos to live. I just sent my sister and friends info on things to do and possibilities (will repost here in blog after this one).
2. All but myself and my brother Eric are within a few miles of my parents.
3. I have and will be kept fully updated and can get in touch with friends, colleagues, and others who can help plus family is able to be there every day ... Hospice also is there.
4. Dad & mom both wished me success and wanted to see me succeed with AchievingLife.com and doing an event in California - as well as many of my friends
5. I am in San Diego staying with my friend George. Originally he said was fine to stay here through March 7th. Need to confirm if that is still correct - I have kinda been out of it the last couple days and not quite the usual chipper silly crazy odd self.
6. The original plan of having an Event March 7th just doesnt work - location and many other factors make it difficult.
Situations & Ideas...
CALI:
I can start doing Trails of Giving events here very soon working with the Natures Express and maybe another one or two businesses near other parks.
Working with Kai at the magazine is both with possibilities and many questions that I must start working out.
As such some of what I initially thought might be possible here is questioning.
I still am having problems figuring out the podcasts and need to find a simple video editor (specifically to cut beginning/ending parts out of videos). - the option is to start doing videos, podcasts, and interviews to add stuff to my site
With trails of giving events I could get local speakers to participate in weekly discussions that would build up to the larger events... finding the place to stay through May in my head seems a bit more difficult.
I must get an income asap no matter what/where I am
FL
There are the chances of doing Trails of Giving, Achieving Life, and all that in FL - yet that is something I have attempted to do in the past without a ton of success
The more I think about doing videos, podcasts, and focusing on that stuff it seems more reasonable - it is part of what I wanted to do and maybe it could be a larger part
I could see if I could find someone else local who would want to continue with the Trails of Giving meetups and flow those into the Achieving Life Events - but then that could be someone else not me and well who is to say that would really work though it could... the question of Kai from Vision Magazine perhaps who wants to do things - there also was interest with people in LA but I am not as familiar there nor have I heard positive things of their bus transportation and as for a place to stay???
I want to do the events that much I am sure of, it is not just a dream - it is what I will do.
I want to have the website working fully and attracting people - possibilities rest there for promoting other events, having a magazine of sorts or working with magazines...
In both those cases while typing is fine it isn't quite the full sounding board that is needed.... Thus, I will be working to find someone around here today to bounce the ideas around with and get them on paper... the trick is doing it with someone I trust or intuitively feel is the right person for the discussion - not sure who it is just yet...but shortly I should know
$$ is a big important aspect right now....
Getting a team of people working with me is also important....
So, that is the basics of facts and thoughts
For the moment going to go through the business cards from Conscious Life Expo - send emails, and later make calls about sponsors as the people here where I am staying are still sleeping....
I-M-Possible the book that well might get interesting, but how shall it read from this point hehe
Thank you for all thoughts and prayers for family and being there....
