Master Networkers!!

Last night Robert (my husband) and I did the first half of our Master Networkers Course in preparation for our becoming Directors of the first FNI group on the East Coast of Florida.

This was some of the best hours that we spent on the phone that involved our businesses. We learned how to do effective networking (unlike the biz card exchange that usually takes place).

By "interviewing" each contact we can find out what they want/need to take their businesses to the next level? what exactly is their niche? What makes them unique?

Would you like to join us at aa FNI event which we are planning on starting right after Independence Day? Would you like to start another FNI group? Or most importantly would you like to learn how to be a Master Networker?

Call us or call David Doerges at 727-542-8686. Just let him know you heard about it from me. In the meantime, check out http://www.freenetworkinginternational.com/ . FNI was started in the Tampa Florida area and now has about 40 groups. Ours will be the first group on the East Coast of Florida.

Dinner at the Gottesmans

In a few minutes I am going to start making Arroz Con Pollo a la Helen. I will also make my Matzo Ball Soup and stir fried Veggies.

I already have the kokosh cakes (similar to babke) I made yesterday in the freezer along with my challahs (which I make 8 at a time).

I plan on writing up the recipes as a separate entry>

What my son teaches me

Most of you know that we have a 15 year old son named Adir, whom we adopted as a baby and who happens to have Down Suyndrome.

He is amazing. He is fearless, full of love and does not let life get him down. We went to the timeshare we own at Cape Caribe in Cape Canaveral. Florida. They have a huge waterpark on the premises. I was happy in the regular pool (with over a hundred people swimming, I was still able to do laps). Adir went on the 4 or 5 story stairs to the waterslide and coaxed my husband to try the waterslide. They ended up going over a dozen times each. I went on the lazy river there.

When we visited friends in Boca Raton this week , Adir heard the bickering and complaining of their children (just a little younger than Adir) that they didn't have certain things that they wanted. Adir just said, that's ok, maybe another time....He did not whine or complain..

Also at middle school, he introduced himself to the prettiest girl in the place (not limiting himself to the ESE crowd). He started up a conversation with her and said he wuld like o take her out sometime. While the date has not materialized, they did become friends, calling each other regularly. His teacher saw that when he was going to introduce himself to her, tried to stop him (what if she's not interested?) He said So, what!!, Of course she'll like me, I'm cute!!.
