When we started this blog a few years back, one of the things we wanted to do is tell the stories of people we have met through this wonderful business called Information Marketing; people who have touched our hearts and minds while working or networking with them as we enjoy this journey.
So how this connecting story goes…
Sometimes people come into our lives without us really knowing why they do. We had heard of this person through some mutual friends and finally got to meet her at Alex Mandossian’s Teleseminar Secrets Reunion in March of this year. What a pleasant surprise it was to connect with her.
She loves to interview ordinary people who have extraordinary stories and that have created extraordinary lives by using what they have rather than focusing on what they do not have.
Here are a few people that she has interviewed:
- Raven Blair Davies (CNN Radio’s Award Winning Talk Show Host)
Check out that interview HERE - Pauline Victoria (she has no arms or legs, and is a Mom who inspires others)
Check out that interview HERE - Kwai Yu (Founder of UK Leaders Café Foundation – one man’s vision of affecting over 20 million people by the year 2020)
This is part of her “5 Days of Amazing Interviews from Leaders”, you’ll need to opt-in to listen to that amazing interview.
Another area that she focuses on and is passionate about is working with tomorrow’s leaders, which are our teenagers. She has a couple of sites dedicated to teenagers…
In RaisingFearlessTeens.com she reveals the #1 secret to raising successful positive teenagers – in today’s crazy mixed up world.
At ImperfectTeens.com she has cracked the code on how to emotionally connect with her kids and wants to share this secret with the world.
We have been working with her on some networking and private coaching. She always has a way of asking a question or re-framing a question that we’ve asked, so that we re-focus on ourselves to ask better internal questions and get clear on our solution or intention.
The Power of Tribes
She has been teaching us about the power of Syndication and the multitude power of Tribe Syndication for the last couple of months. The Tribe Syndication concept has captured the imagination of so many people and it was only a matter of time before this Tribe Movement and Systems would begin appearing all over the web in different shapes and forms.
A great book on Tribes is by Seth Godin and is simply called Tribes. One of the key principles is the act of reciprocity or mutual cooperative interchange.
You’ve heard of The Secret and The Law of Attraction, well this is The Tribe Secret and The Law of Reciprocity.
A few people you may want to check out in this tribe space is Katie Freiling, Dave and Dawn Cook, Gavin Mountford, Michael Feil, and Kary Rogney to name a few.
A couple of Syndication groups that you may want to check out are:
Free Groups
Tribe Syndication Association (TSA) created by Dave and Dawn Cook
The Networking Superstars Tribe created by Gavin Mountford
(Note that these two groups just formed an alliance and the details are still being worked out)
Paid Group
The Unified Tribe created by Katie Freiling
Sorry about the little rant on Tribes, but we thought it would be important to you.
Now back to our mentor and colleague, but most importantly someone who we have the pleasure to call a friend.
As you work and network with a person, you really get to know them and find out how much heart and soul they truly have. And this dear person has a huge heart and a heartfelt soul. If we had more people like this in the world, the world would be a much better place.
She has taught me (Pat) so much about connecting my head to my heart, which is an area she specializes in, and an area that I (Pat) need to work on. I think it may be my programming background as I was always using my head and logic and not having to rely on my heart.
I have some very close (girl) friends that always ask me “How are you feeling?” I don’t know if this is right or wrong, but I (Pat) find that woman seem to be more connected to their feelings then us men. I know Lorna is for sure. What do you think men?
The biggest thing she has taught us is connecting, and the importance of connecting the inside world to the outside world. How important it is to connect with your prospects, customers, and raving fans… connecting to your family, but most of all connecting with yourself.
We have both been totally blessed for her coming into our lives and we would like to introduce you to our friend Kellie Frazier.
On our COOLEST factor, Kellie is definitely 5 star 
If you get a chance, we encourage you to check her blog out at KellieFrazier.com and if you ever get to meet in person, she gives out great hugs.
Thanks Kellie for all that you do and all that you’ve done and for reminding us that we all need to connect our heads to our hearts.
Love,
~ Pat & Lorna

I very much like Kellie Frazier as well. I appreciate that you spent the time giving her such high "kudos." I had not been to your blog before but very much like it. Thanks for your great input and giving attitude.
I believe it is tougher for men to "connect" with people on an emotional level in general. It has its positives and negatives to it. However, I do agree, learning how to truly connect at a heart level with people (and with yourself) certainly helps to ground you into the real and tangible world of where we live. This creates a dynamic synergism in our lives that simply doesn't happen in any other way.
It is living out a life of experiential love…truly giving of oneself to others…that is where the true power of a dynamic and joyful life resides.
Thanks for the great thoughts!

Glyna,
The wonderful things we said about Kelli are all well deserved.
And we totally agree… the tribe we've joined has provided us the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people (like you) that we probably would not have met on our own.
Thanks,
