So today I have been feeling QUITE a bit off kilter, not at all my perky self, and several people at work had noticed. I don't think I had smiled all day. So I head home and decide to do something so mundane...I laundered my bed linens. I couldn't even muster the motivation to get my bike out and ride in today's gorgeous weather in Dallas. That is, until I logged into my ALC fund raising site and and found a $150 sponsorship from Karel Koppen. I don't know Karel at all. He lives in the Netherlands. Last night I linked my blog to my Linked In (www.linkedin.com/in/michaelwilkesen) page and while I was there, I posted a letter to a couple of professional groups I belong to. I knew it was a LONG-SHOT, but hey, when one is trying to raise thousands of dollars for charity, you utilize every tool available to you, right? Well, Karel is also a member of one of these groups and he said that he was "inspired" and wanted to help me realize my goal. A complete stranger an ocean away felt inspired by me. What a terrific gift. Thank you Karel for TOTALLY making my day and upholding my faith in humanity. Together we can truly make a difference!
