Dr. Venus Opal R.
(Gratitude) Thank You
(Gratitude)Thank you, Coach Lisa Toste, Patrick Elliot, Vanessa-Clients On Demand and the entire COD team for helping during this challenging season that annihilated all I knew to be true. Simply put: life happened. Marriage ended. Emergency hysterotomy. Hormones went haywire. PTSD diagnosed. Adjusting to being legally handicapped. Moved from Dallas to San Diego. Business imploded. Sense of self and identity lost. Each module of COD was disrupted by life in some way and I had to come to terms that I could not "make it happen" as I use too before my life imploded. So I told the truth to Pat, Vanessa, and Coach Lisa. I had to slow down and pause my participation from COD in order to manage my well-being. My request was honored. They didn't have to do that and to be honest, I didn't expect them to. But at every hurdle, Team COD kept loving me through it. Championing me and reminding me that I am bigger than life's storms. The ENTIRE COD team (the admins behind the scenes, copywriters, the sales team--EVERYONE!) took on supporting me energetically to create an entirely new program that is rooted in who I am becoming, not who I use to be. To say I was/am embarrassed about my lack of performance is an understatement. But each step of the way I have been encouraged and championed by Team COD. I am happy to share that my slides are finished and I LOVE my new program. My optin page copy is approved, as is my facebook group description. My Facebook webinar ad copy is with Pat now and I am hopeful my Facebook webinar ad copy will be approved tomorrow. I will run my webinar to my list this week to have it recorded live. Once it's recorded, I will be able to submit it to 3rd Eye to create my new funnel! I wanted to have my funnel completed for Thursday's call for review by Russ, but I am not confident it can be up by then. But I will try. I am feeling hopeful again. I am beginning to dream again. Believe again. Hope again. I don't begrudge my walk, my life. Truth be told, all the breakdown was an answered prayer to get everything in the way out of the way to fulfill my destiny. But I will say this: the level of compassion, grace, generosity, and support I have received from the entire COD team has healed something in me that I didn't realize was still an open wound. I have made my way in this world. From the streets of Baltimore to Stanford Ph.D. and beyond. The level of unsolicited support I have received here--just by being honest and staying in action--has shown me that I am not alone. There are kind people in the world who will get up under my dreams simply because they want to--not because I earned it. So I thank you Team COD for healing me in a way I didn't know I needed. I am feeling stronger now. Like I can do this. I have a destiny and there are millions of people, worldwid, waiting to be loved by me. To hear my word. To learn by my example. Marc Von Musser is right: there is a cost to answering the Call on one's life. I am answering the Call. Thank you, Team COD for helping, for healing me. I thank you for helping me when I couldn't help my self. I'm not alone. Not any more. #werollinpacks I love you. Sincerely, Dr. V
