71 - BUT I must say - I don’t wish to travel. I LOVE my home, and staying here. So - I’m not equipped to travel, but I don’t care.

Thank you David,
I lived a gypsy life for 7 years when I was younger, traveling the world from all over Europe to Japan, Thailand, India, South America, I am French I live in the US. Now I feel like Lori I like staying home and be still. The humor here is that I am asked to travel all the time, I am going to Edmonton soon and then to France in December and Again Canada Toronto in January, etc., to present seminars, and as much as I love what I do and want to serve people in the world I do like like to travel any more.
With affection, Marie

I scored 71. One thing I am doing to improve my score is inviting everyone I maintain contact with to South Africa and Lesotho for an awesome challenge in June-August 2009: participate in a montian expedition that will simultaneously identify community-based projects that donor funding can be allocated to in preparation for the 2010 World Cup in S.A. Website under construction will be http://www.mountainkingdom.org.
The only area I need to work on to reach the score I would like to have is financial freedom. because I am in the mission field, financial goals have taken a back seat and I haven’t yet found a way to accomplish these goals while still maintaing a life of service. Hoepfully David’s book will illuminate me when it is published.
