The EE Running Man’s Five Bullet Friday

Computer System

Testing and debugging is underway for the new computer system.

I'm fairly confident we'll be live by next Thursday, November 5.

So, I'm rescheduling the computer training for next Thursday evening from 8:00 to 8:45 PM Eastern.

It will definitely make managing your parties much easier.

I'll record the session in case anyone can't make it. Attendees will also be able to go back and review what we cover.

All that being said, you'll probably learn the system best by simply using the system over and over.

What’s Shakin’? (Overcomers are In Da House)

On our Tuesday Newbies Classes, we're seeing several of you overcoming your nerves, fears and frustrations and doing your first Zoom parties. I'm proud of you and want to give some shout outs to a few of you below.

Daphne Davenger of NJ (Overcame the discouragement of a slow start.)
Tonya Ewing of PA (Overcame startup jitters, rejection and lack of support.)
Angie Dickerson of MA (Overcame a very slow start.)
Cynthia Flowers of TX (Overcame her fears of presenting on Zoom.)
Katrina Gordon of NY (Overcame challenges due to Covid-19's impact on NY schools, students and school teachers.)
Kristie Johnson of PA (Overcame nervousness, initial rejection and a lack of support.)
Jana Lang of NJ (Just jumped in and did the dang thang.)
Crystal McFadden-Bowden of PA (Overcoming people giving her the run around.)
Vanessa McNeal of FL (Overcoming not having a computer and any experience with computers.)
Tara Pinckney of PA (Overcame chaos on her first Zoom Party, including someone being naked. :-o)
Christine Rutledge of CA (Overcame her fear of computer technology.)
Dorothy Sumpter of CA (Overcame not being familiar with computer technology.)
Chevelle Williams of NJ (Overcame some family and life challenges that were keeping her from getting going.)

Frederick Douglas said it better than I ever could. There can be no victory without a struggle. He knew firsthand that life is about struggling, growing and becoming an overcomer.

All of you are becoming overcomers (like Michelle Obama's bio) before our very eyes.

We're all so very proud of of you.

Keep on pushing and we'll see you at the top.

Community - A Vietnam Vet from Way Back in 1967

Do you think the times we're going through are anything new?

They're not.

Listen to what this brother was saying in this 5-minute video waaaaay back in 1967. That's over 50 years ago!

America... Keep Your Word!

A Quote

Writer George Bernard Shaw on living a life that burns bright.

The true joy in life...

Is being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one;

Is being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live.

I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no "brief candle" for me. It is a splendid torch which I've got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.

From Man and Superman

Questions

- Do you have a mighty purpose?
- Who does your life belong to?
- Do you want to be a flickering candle.. or a blazing torch?

Take the red pill… and I’ll show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
