[Click here to save $100 off the Philly Social Event Tickets]( Read on to hear why I think you might want to attend...  Two years ago today, I nearly died, {NAME}. I had a massive saddle pulmonary embolism (blood clot) that blocked the blood flow and oxygen to both my lungs and my heart. I couldn't catch my breath. I nearly passed out, several times. I saw stars, and faded in and out... Had I lost consciousness, I wouldn't be here today. There was no one home to find me. My friends and family were across the country, back in Arizona. I would have died at my desk, insistant on finishing a project I was working on. I can be stubborn when I want to be. Gratefully, thanks to fast acting first responders and a serious of good decisions on their part, I survived. I took nearly six months away from a heavy workload, and had to cancel several events and presentations, including that year's Philly Notary Social in Philadelphia. But my body needed to heal. And I've learned, and continue to learn, to trust my body. I'm still healing. The clots are still here, gradually being worn down by internal systems that don't get the credit they deserve. I never imagined they'd still be grinding away after two years, but it seems to take the time it takes. No amount of rushing or snapping my fingers seems to help urge them on. These two years, bonus years even, have changed me. I can tell I'm different, but can't quite put my finger on how. I have an appreciation for connection, to people and nature, I may have taken for granted before. I also feel this urgency to share, contribute, help, and to write, write, write, before it's too late. Will there be a third chance? A fourth? Do I get nine lives too? I doubt it. At some point, my number will get called, just as it will for all of us. My hope is to leave the world a little better than how I found it. And being here, sharing this journey with you, crazy as it is sometimes, has been a great honor. What has become clear, is that this connection, genuine connection, and the shared events that help make that possible, have to be prioritized. Sure, they can be exhausting. They can be expensive. And... They're worth it. I just returned from the Montana 406 Notary Conference last week. One of our friends traveled all the way from DC, even after suffering a debilitating broken bone and recovery. She didn't travel all that way for conference notes. She came for connection. For friendship. For community. And, a little bit of learning, of course. That's important too. If you find yourself craving connection with people that "get" you... If you need to know this business is real... If want to believe that there are more good people than bad... Sign up for a notary peer event. My last in-person event before June 2025, is this October 18-25, at Philly Notary Social. Come say hi. It's me and a dozen other world-class trainers and presenters. And a hundred of your notary-friends from around the country. Learn. Have fun. Eat. Explore the City of Brotherly Love with your brothers & sisters. Eat (did I say that already?). [Save $100 and book Philly Notary Social today]( I'll be opening up my "Billy in Philly" calendar for individual private conversations while I'm there. If you want to meet, talk some business, whether notary, publishing, writing, investing, planning-whatever- attendees get a link to book some time with me. I look forward to meeting you then. Thank you for being here to celebrate my "RE-Birthday," August 27. I am two today. To Life, and your prosperity, Bill   [Unsubscribe]( | Sent by NotaryCoach.com
