From a friend John Machado
I have enjoyed occasionally following your adventures. I admire what you have been doing with your life, and the example that you set for so many people, not just to have the courage to have big dreams, but to go after them with such style.

Misti Burmeister commented on her note "I Want to Know Me":
"you are such a gift, Jonathan ... a true brother in my life. I'm grateful for your kind and validating words. Today is a bit lighter, as I step back and further question the intention behind my decisions - the purpose behind my vision. As I chose to look at $ as coconuts and focus my attention on being an incredible woman - for me, that is.
Much like you, I do not believe in the standard definition for success - when I feel it's right, I do it...when I don't, I don't do it. When I'm not doing "it," I tend to question myself. Though it's usually during those times that I'm growing the crops I will eventually eat on the mountain top...there really is no top, per say - there are many beautiful ledges along the way.
I'm learning to trust - and to love myself completely...it is a journey and one I'm grateful to be on.
I love you!"

Thanks for those posts, Jonathan, Carrie. ... the most important of all, starting at home with our children...they will inherit the world we leave them so they must as well start early learning to be "Good Stewards" of mother Earth. Thanks for sharing. Going green has reached a tipping point and we need people like you to push us forward. Warmest regards, Liam

Jonathan,
I wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciated your time yesterday.
Do you realize what a GREAT coach you are?
You have the interest, knowledge and inquisitiveness to "drill down" to help guide people through the process of discovery and to the "aha moment" (to quote Oprah).
You also have the incredible gift of getting people excited and motivated!
I was so motivated after speaking with you that I immediately started working on [The project we discussed] and I have gotten over 100 contacts already!
But even more importantly, I think I might have actually found a "niche!"
I'm now seriously looking at making the Self-Help area (including Inspiration, leadership, goals, motivation, spirituality and coaching) MY niche!
What an incredible win-win situation!! These people understand what it takes to succeed, I would be learning and involved in incredibly positive things and also contributing to a real change.
Thank you, thank you, Thank You!!!!!
I appreciate you.
Your friend,
Bobbie
Your Virtual Partner
anyway, continued success to you. take care.

I loved your website!
I was in China in May of 2002. I went with a group of MBA students from the University of Colorado. We stayed in Beijing, Nanjing and Shanghai. In Beijing we stayed in University housing that left a little to be desired (yes, we did have "creature" roommates and the worst was waking up the last morning to find 2 worms crawling in my bed -- still bothers me to think about it!) but alas, in Nanjing and Shanghai we stayed in very nice hotels. The whole experience was just out of this world -- I would not trade it for anything. Obviously, it was not the easiest of trips, but it was so worth it!
Your advice page is great! I completely agree about the weather...in Beijing and Shanghai it was hot and humid but in Nanjing and Suzhou it was rainy -- I was not prepared for rain and had to borrow an umbrella.
Feet -- definitely wear comfy shoes -- we joked that China is one big Stairclimber -- stairs at the Great Wall -- stairs at Sun Yat Sen's Mausoleum -- more stairs than I had ever seen!
Plane -- what good things can be said about a 13 hour plane ride? Not much! I would advise bringing drinking water for the plane ride -- the flight attendant did not serve water that often and several people in my group got a little dehydrated.
Phones -- I found using calling cards to be rather difficult so I ended up setting up an account through Pincity.com. I was able to call home with no difficulty and the rates were incredibly cheap!
Again, your website was great! Makes me feel like I was just there -- I hope to go back before the Olympics.
Take care,
Jill

You can read my response to her email (answers to questions about China) at http://www.strive4impact.com/china/laurens-letter.html
I have read everything on your website (more than once) and it's very informative and helpful!

I tore a muscle when I was in Jr. High when my coach was introducing me to weight training. Doing bench presses he added weights with each pump. I felt something pop in my right shoulder and I had to have the spotter take the bar bell away before I dropped it. It hurt initially but I had not used that muscle much so I don't notice it much. Once in a while when doing push ups or lifting above my head. More recently I have been working with weight more and I have started to notice a tightness and pain in my shoulder. It makes it difficult to do minor work using those muscles only. A while back I had heard my dad mention scar tissue in muscle injury and that prompted me to find your site. I have read your article at strive4impact and I agree with the physiology of it and the nature of scar tissue. I will massage my shoulder and try to (if anything) loosen up the tendons as well as stretch, as that is when it has the most sensation. If I have any success I will let you know. I have inately tried to stretch it as it seems it is simply tight tendons. I think I have increased my range of motion by not my lifting capacity (stretching, not weights). So thank you for your article, it was very informative.

The scar tissue is thick and bound tightly. I lost much movement of my upper lip and right side of my mouth along with most of the feeling. I also have the instant appearance of someone who has lopsided acromaglia. They just said to rest and it has been the worst week of my life. My mind was the greatest enemy other then the mirror. They started cortisone injections in to my face this weekend to begin shrinking the scar masses. I am going to begin my own massage therapy to reduce the masses and get my sensation back. The months of treatment form the doctors is not acceptable since I am now unemployed being that I was a bartender and did not have insurance with recent job changes.
I began gently massaging the masses and very slowly but firmly messaged the hardest of the masses. Some are still pliable. The surface burn type scars look like they have already set in. Today my face feels more alive. Swelling was a problem afterwards. I am reducing swelling via head bandages while I sleep and warm compresses. Cold did little but soothe me for the moment. I never saw a reduction in the swelling.
I now have hope after reading your article. When stuff like this happens you tend to think a permanent end to it all. Your words just may prevent me from going back to that dark place. If there is anything else I can do please pass it along. I am going to recover. I look like the offspring of Andre the Giant and the Elephant man at the moment so have a long way to go.
Thank you so much, R. E.
