In challenging times, don't forget to "dream the impossible dream" and give thanks!

Every now and then, we need to re-group and fill our tanks. Brian Buffini of Working by Referral always refers to his annual Mastermind events as a time to renew, refresh, rejuvenate our goal of balance in our five circles of life: personal, spiritual, family. financial and business.

And he always gives us wonderful guests who inspire.

This year, he urged us to dream the impossible dream. And amazingly, he pointed to someone we weren't expecting: Gomer Pyle!





And then he caps it off by bringing Wintley Phipps back. And we are reminded that we never walk alone. So uplifting! Each time I am having doubts and anxiety, I turn to these men who sing from their hearts.

And bless him, Brian keeps telling us his story of when he first came to the U.S., working three jobs, and then getting hit by a car. His injuries were so severe that he was out of work for months, and emerged nearly half a million dollars in medical bills. As he persevered, he never once forgot to acknowledge how wonderful this country is.

Being an immigrant myself, who chose to be an American citizen, this song has such deep meaning for me, and it never fails to remind me how great our country is. THIS is my inspiration. During this event, you can see how many people were so touched. I literally cried BUCKETS! God bless America!
