After Holiday Shopping Online Blues..figuring out how to pay for things logistically and in a timely manner...Looking for sponsors for future months is on my 2018 Wish List

Dear Great Coach for Business and Life,(and all who may find compassion for this kind of bookkeeping snaffew...let's see how this all turns out...)

 Regarding the payment for one month in your new group effort that I thought went through, I am getting the news that it did not. I am figuring out options after learning of the old credit card not going through, which is understandable, but I didn't realize I had tried to use that. I thought I used a new card number.

 I have had a bit of a juggling act going on with my new credit card. I got a new one which was mailed to my CT  address as it was issued by my bank with a chip in it.

 I had the numbers but not the card with me in NY and thought I typed in the numbers for the new card..alas that apparently was not the case, or maybe you had my old card on file and used that?

 Anyway, the other possibility I thought was to use paypal..but I am not finding the registration page to review the options while I have my home computer here at a public library. I have all my passwords on this computer (to use paypal for instance..).

I do not have my new credit card on hand, having seemingly misplaced it in the last day or so though I am hoping it is at my CT home in a coat pocket.. 

Okay, so I am getting the email that my first payment did not go thru. My home laptop from NY (which I lugged up here to CT on the train..) doesn't connect readily with my brother's internet (yet that I can figure out...) 

So, I am not sure when I will have the card to give you the numbers online or even via the phone, but I am hoping to call them into you Fri Am... my landline in CT is as follows...123-999-9999. Hopefully whoever answers will be on the ball if you call and say Catherine asked you to do so. 

I will call you back if I an not there, as I am leaving by about 10 am to help someone with their kids. Still, once I get your number I can call you Friday...while still in 2017. Short of that, if it takes into the new year, I hope I can still be counted in... 

Sorry for all the details but sometimes we can all learn A Lot such as me making sure to get a Confirmation that my payment went through. I was considering another program that I did use paypal to cover and had a lot going on with kids and travel so likely I should have had a Written List I could Check Twice rather than rely only on electronics and my memory amidst the holiday whirl of travel  and get togethers.. .maybe this would make a good blog entry in case anyone else could possibly relate.

By the way, I put a 400 dollar deposit on the other program down By Mistake and learned that I could cancel it when reviewing the matter in despair...and then I called the person to explain the inadvertent 'touch of a key' as I was getting up from the computer...

That person gave me lots of time to think things over and a payment plan (on the larger balance) but I felt it was more than I could really manage. So he assured me he'd send a refund. I believe that landed in my bank account even though I had used Paypal Credit to order it..and so now I have to check and see if I owe that to Paypal which I imagine I do...

Okay, figure this kind of 'brass tacks ' learning can be a heads up to the next daydreamer...That fellow a highly skilled NLP and hypnotist  and trainer, is offering a 2 day event  in early Jan 2018 in NYC which I felt was helpful and I could retake for $125 instead of the 450 or so that the first timers pay. It also opens up to an online group for free and big discount on the 4 weekend training he is doing in Jan 2018 in Queens. See Geozuwa for details online.

 I was about to take that (with the offer that I could have more access to that in the future for free which was a great offer..and one I would almost like to see if he'd extend to me though that was 'this last time' to include such a bonus...

 Okay I share that as another enticing marketing plan and great benefit though he likely should limit it to 'five years' or something doable with a renewable offer rather than 'lifetime access'... That said, hope all is going well with your initiative and life.

PS To any who are reading this in a timely manner (through Jan 2018) I am seeking sponsors to continue with this interesting online coaching group after the first month. This fee is $195/month and while that may be super steep it's a hundred less since I got in before Jan 2018 (and others joining will have to pay the $295 monthly.) The group is limited to 50 people for the first six months, then another 50 will be added. So these first 6 months could prove very worthwhile and I hope to make the most of it. Maybe a certain month speaks to you to sponsor all or part of the session.

Please email if interested...that's thinkingkapp@gmail.com or 860-626-5199. Hope this dream pans out to pursue a number of goals which I will clarify in Jan 2018. I can share some of what I learn with this online group Livfully has reached..that's over 80K folks and counting.

All the best and I wish everyone courage and stamina to dream up the next steps of their dream, find support locally and online and do the next good thing to see where their soulful journey leads. Success can be defined in many ways, so pick one that makes you feel good and helps you keep your boat afloat! January 6th, 2018 marks our late teen son Kaelan's would-have-been 25th Birthday, a quarter of a century since he was born on the 12th day of Christmas shortly after midnight. I share more about Kaelan on other posts such as Remembering  Kaelan Alexander Palmer Paton and in many comments.

There is a youtube video of his memorial service which may bring solace to others who have bid farewell to family and friends either recently or in the past. Even 9 years later, it feels 'not long ago' that Kaelan was enjoying Christmas parties and other holiday events with his extended family, local friends, groups and folk festival dancing and overall good times on snowboard slopes and ventures about the countryside.

 
Keeping the memory of loved ones in heaven 'alive' and close to one's heart and mind makes the passage of time more fluid and meaningful. Inviting them into any occassion with a moment of care and love whether a family party or a concert or faith gathering can add a special dimension to the experience. Same with quieter moments and walks about an area, their hometown or a  new place. All the best to all as people are stepping into the new year of 2018 with delightful events and success to round out the the experiences.
