We are headed to Scranton, PA on June 23rd and 24th and would love to invite you to share an aha moment, and how your life has changed since. It can be about your work, your family or other life experiences. You would just have to step into the Airstream studio for a few minutes and tell your story on film to our tour producer. Your video will then be posted to www.mutualofomaha.com/aha, where you will be able to share it with your friends and family via email, Facebook and Twitter!<br /><br />On June 23rd and 24th from 10am to 6pm, we will be parked at the Lackawanna Station Hotel, 700 Lackawanna Avenue, Scranton, PA 18503. Here is a map link to the location: https://goo.gl/maps/KN6Dy<br /><br />We’d love to have you. Let me know as soon as possible and I can reserve your time slot. <br /><br />Many thanks!<br /><br />Rachel Clark<br />tour@ahamoment.com<br /><br />See the 2014 Aha Moment Tour page: ahamoment.com/tour<br />View aha moment videos: youtube.com/myahamoment<br />Follow the tour:<br />twitter.com/myahamoment<br />facebook.com/myahamoment<br />instagram.com/myahamoment<br />Aha Moment Tourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014737223272143887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7037767471286045027.post-76579960188329877732012-06-27T06:50:39.526-04:002012-06-27T06:50:39.526-04:00Congratulations, to YOU!!!Congratulations, to YOU!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7037767471286045027.post-44216238782735420622012-06-13T09:04:16.232-04:002012-06-13T09:04:16.232-04:00there is a single mom, without a job at the moment...there is a single mom, without a job at the moment and a 3 year old son... she has a kitchen table, a mattress, a computer, and a desk-like table, and that's pretty much it for furnature...<br /><br />anyway, we spent some time over there painting and sprucing the place up, and all the boy does is run outside, then inside, then outside, then inside... constantly playing, imagining, and involved with his mom... <br /><br />i started out feeling really bad for the two of them for their lack of tv, couch, and other 'essentials', but after a few days left with a feeling of something very organic and special between the two of them... seems like without the modern day distractions there's a very healthy imagination for the boy, and a good relationship with his mom...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7037767471286045027.post-18928497386119777512012-05-16T10:02:36.076-04:002012-05-16T10:02:36.076-04:00Love Love Love this blog!

With most things you start w/a set amount of "that" thing and by giving away portions of that amount you end up with less than what you started with (ie: money, food, toothpicks, stamps, Michael Jackson CD's - you get the point!). But, in the case of feelings/emotions (ex: love/anger...) it appears they work differently. Upon giving away love/positive feelings sincerely and freely (not the $20 under a pillow/3min after finished kinda' deal) one will not need to subtract that away from the original amount started with. But, rather the amount given away will always come back in amounts far exceeding that which was given, in some manifest (you may need to search high/low for this sometimes, but this will always prove to be the case). Similarly, I think pent up anger (ie: grudges...) held over time do fester, and also end up greater than originally started with because this "dark" stuff is drawn back to the person who chose to give that type of thing away...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7037767471286045027.post-40995146342229465782011-07-23T19:32:24.664-04:002011-07-23T19:32:24.664-04:00"Old Yeller"; 1957
Child Me: Sad story o..."Old Yeller"; 1957<br />Child Me: Sad story of love and loss, a bond between a kid and his dog,sometimes in life, although not easy, you just need to do what you need to do.<br />Adult Me: Sometimes in life, need to exercise restraint without just doing what you feel necessary and consider all the implications. Cant just go shooting sick dogs to put them out of their misery. These days, SPCA/lawers/law enforcement/politicians, etc, etc, etc and whole slew of other groups will make it their goal to make your life difficult.<br /><br />"The Love Bug"; 1968<br />Child Me: Touching story of cute, talking car that knows how to swim on water. I wanna get a bug when I grow up!!!<br />Adult Me: Cars really aren't that cute, and when they speak to ya usually means it's gonna end up costing a bunch to repair. Also, along with actually speaking (well, maybe some do now...) car's haven't figured out how to swim, yet. Not even "bugs." And, when in water those former mentioned groups that like to make life difficult and drain even more money outta ya get real interested. Not to mention the costs associated with environment cleanup/remediation, department of environmental protection mingling, auto towing services, insurance policies, inspections, keeping up with nextdoor Jones',Co2 emissions, increasing fuel costs, etc, etc, etc. YUK!!!<br /><br />"The Wizard of Oz"; 1939 (perhaps not Disney; oh well...sue me!)<br />Child Me: Colorful, interesting story about poor people trying to help each other with things they'd like to have when they are all down on their luck. In the end they are all happy and ending is good.<br />Adult Me: Politically charged satire regarding a difficult period in time post Great Depression. <br />Dorthy - simple, naive and young. Representative of the American people taken advantage of and uprooted by the tornado/great depression.<br />Tin Man - strong, without heart. Representative of American industry, company/union tensions.<br />Lion - cowardly, indecisive. Representative of American politicians and politics in general.<br />Tornado - uprooted the life of Dorthy. Representative of the Great Depression itself. <br />Story - characters uprooted by tornado/depression with entire way of life changed. Trying to find there way back to normal life by way of "golden road" traveled to "emerald city" with Dorthy dancing in her silver slippers the entire time. Representative of American people trying to find way to prosperity after economic depression while dealing with labor/union problems, lack of political backbone, work and labor difficulties etc, etc, etc...Perhaps, a good time now to revisit this great American classic???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7037767471286045027.post-29796947287529165602011-07-20T21:16:45.561-04:002011-07-20T21:16:45.561-04:00It is a faced paced world in which we temporarily ...It is a faced paced world in which we temporarily reside.<br />And, alas, it appears that the pace of things may be quickening.<br />I think "FINE" for some folks may be the most readily available response at hand to process one task and move handily on to another.<br />During those times that this response successfully breaches my single sensitive nerve as being "cold" or lacking any degree of "thoughtfulness" whatsoever, I remind myself what the "FINE" response is actually telling me:<br />F - freaked out<br />I - insecure<br />N - neurotic<br />E - emotionalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7037767471286045027.post-45134383128971824232011-07-17T18:50:00.213-04:002011-07-17T18:50:00.213-04:00I totally agree that you have to be true to yourse...I totally agree that you have to be true to yourself because, if you aren't then you will never be true to anyone else.
