Last week Dr. had to go into the heart clinic in Munich quite unexpectedly. But we had promised months ago to speak at seminars in Ireland and London. After long discussions with my husband, he made the decision that I should still go to Ireland and London. Stefan, Susan and David, and our grandchildren were there with Dr. , so it was never boring and he hadn't had time to think too much. So, I then arrived, with a certain delay, but just in time in Dublin. I was already eagerly awaited there from old friends and our son Peter, Manuela and Sammy. The mood in the room was great, but impressive were the many new recognitions. The next morning we had to get up early and off to London. However, we were stuck for 3 hours in the airport because the plane could not start because of the fog in London. Later, but just in time, we were in the totally sold out hall in London. I still remember a beautiful May day, a few years ago when we were told that Amway UK had to be closed. I remember the many conversations with our friends in the UK, where I repeatedly encouraged and told them that this will bring the greatest opportunity. And so it was. The Amway business in the UK is growing and growing. Also, we have built 4 new lines in UK in the last 2 years and are incredibly proud of all our business partners in the UK. But especially, we thank our Uplines in the UK: Jurgen & Sally Brinner and Queen mom, who trusted us over and over and believed that they would one day have a new and better business. From any adversity arises a new opportunity. On Monday morning, I took the first plane to Munich. And, believe it or not; no fog in London for the first time. And so I arrived on time at the German Heart Center in Munich. At 3.00 pm I wrote the first email to all the children to tell them that the surgery went well. Peter took the profitable opportunity to immediately put that on Facebook. Unfortunately, after that, a next problem arose and they had to do a cardioversion on Tuesday. And that actually brought the long awaited sinus rhythm. Unfortunately, the MRI on Wednesday showed that the carotid artery Int. was totally closed, and so we went again on Thursday for a surgery for even more stents. However, on Friday morning we left the heart center finally after one week to drive to the mountains over the weekend. Dr. felt very like newly born and I still marvel about what in today's medicine, thanks to sophisticated technology, can be achieved. 15 years ago, my husband received 3 bypasses in a surgery and therefore the entire chest had to be opened. Today, putting a stent is almost totally done without bloodshed. And the recovery process is much easier. Our granddaughter Rebecca came to visit us and together we went for 2 hours to Salzburg on Saturday and enjoyed even to go on the Christmas market. I want to thank everyone for the many emails and good wishes. This week has shown me again that you should enjoy every minute of your life, and should quickly do the work that needs to be done, and then to be free forever. Take advantage of this opportunity and build your Amway business now. It has never been better than today. The month is still not over. You can still achieve much.
