Many people used to think that the virtual world was populated with strangers writing stiff, pre-digested hocum. But when people write like you just did, your warmth and heart come shining right through! And the connection grows. Plus it's been our experience that every single person we've met online -- was very much, in person, the way they were online -- so we can form wonderfully rich, meaningful relationships online - AND, we look forward to hearing why you took our course -- when the time comes. Thanks again for writing Lark -- and being so openly generous! We look forward to hearing from you again -- Because It's All in the Connection, Judith http://www.judithandjim.com Dear Lark (and Mark too),

Yes, we experience the wonderful connection too!

Many people used to think that the virtual world was populated with strangers writing stiff, pre-digested
hocum.

But when people write like you just did, your warmth and heart come shining right through!

And the connection grows.

Plus it’s been our experience that every single person we’ve met online — was very much, in person, the way they were online — so we can form wonderfully rich, meaningful relationships online -

AND, we look forward to hearing why you took our course — when the time comes.

Thanks again for writing Lark — and being so openly generous!

We look forward to hearing from you again —

Because It’s All in the Connection,

Judith

Who'd have thunk it - such a cheap date would turn out to be so worthwhile! (You know I'm kidding...:) Mark and I have listened to the call each 3 or 4 times... as there's always some fun, useful or inspiring little bit of human sound to mysteriously want us to listen to it again... over-and-over. One of these days I hope to share the story of why we actually chose to participate with the two of you... AND Alex particularly... on this one little "tele-course". And to think it was nothing scarier than easy conversation - with some interesting people - on a telephone! Mostly strangers before this call, there were lessons and takeaways for us all; and as you often say (so true), it really is... all in the connection. Thanks for recognizing us here in your blog. We both feel honored you would take the time to do so! For you internet marketers out there - all 250+ of you who regularly keep our email addresses loaded up in your auto-responders... and our inboxes full of excitement - guess who has Mark and Lark's attention moreso than do you today? [Hint: It's kinda like when we must pick-and-choose a good restaurant... our decisions about which one are often influenced by that special place where somebody actually knows our names... or makes us feel special. The very best ones - whether we've ever been or not to that particular restaurant - make it their mission to know their guests' names. (I know. I used to own a rather formal fine dining restaurant - except I always referred to it as a "spaghetti joint" – and often asked my guests if they were "slumming it" again... and would they prefer I told no-one they were there? Hey, whatever it took to take the starch out of the experience – for all of us!)] It's the essence of hospitality to make "visitors" feel comfortable, like at home. As professionals and "good people" - all three of you - you're able to effect this much better than most, I assure you. And I like this "personal touch" in marketing - as I really do believe it builds community in a virtual world more effectively than anything else I've seen yet! Keep up the good works, Judith and Jim. And happy hunting... house hunting, that is... for that souls' calling of yours too, okay? Lark [P.S. - Do you like to ride bicycles? Las Vegas is a good place for it, I hear. You don't have to listen to so much noise – if you grab the best spots!] What a wonderful and valuable tele-course you hosted!
