Good afternoon all! Let me start by telling you all that I am extremely proud of the The Freedom Train! Many of you have been riding with me from the very start! The Freedom Train began as a vehice to bring people together to celebrate their milestones, and those of their friends! It was intended to give motivation to all, to keep their quits going, so they too could be honored on the Train! My plan was for the Train to honor 100 Day quits, and multiples thereof, and 1 Year quits, and multiples thereof! And anyone, that someone sent me a message about, or that I saw, that might need some extra motivation! I soon added 50 days, and multiples! When I was keeping up with 80 - 100 people, it was fairly easy, and fun!! And the Train grew, and grew in popularity! As you all know by now it outgrew my ability! No longer could I keep up with handwritten sheets, and basic math skills! The new era of the Freedom Train began!
In order to keep up, Maggie, LindaN and Marcie agreed to come aboard and lend their efforts to keep the Train running! They are doing a great job, and I can not thank them enough! We also graduated from the hardware of my ballpoint pens, to software that keeps up with our dates! The Freedom Train is now tracking the milestones of well over 1000 EXer's! I believe that we are doing a great job of tracking the ones who have a multiple of 100, or of one year! However, the software is not good at letting us know when someone has a multiple of 50! That explains how some of our very best have been missed lately!
Therefore, We will be backing up a little bit in our scheduled celebrations! You may expect to be honored on the Fredom Train at the following milestones:
Your first 50 Days!
Your 100 Days and multiples!
Your 1 Year and multiples!
This is as good as we can do with our current software! If someone out there has, or can produce software that can do a better job for us, please let me know! As always if you have an event coming up, or you know of a situation that someone is facing, and they need a special ride on the Freedom Train, please let us know! We are here to provide the motivation, and the celebration to all who yearn to breathe free!
A BIG Thank You to all of you who have made the Train what it is today! and remember: "IF YOU ARE NOT RIDING WITH US, YOU ARE MISSING THE TRAIN!" Tommy
