Time For Go-Go Juice! - America: “Give me your tired, your poor, and Your Stranded!”

Good Morning to you and how does your Go-Go Juice taste today? Mine is hot, smooth and delicious! And, I am absolutely jubilant about recent news to hear so many stories around our country of how our own neighbors, people and businesses are opening their homes, pocket books and doors to our European friends from the unbelievable volcanic ash that continues to linger over the European skies preventing people from going home. Can you imagine being left stranded, not for hours, but for days in a foreign land? How many of us, even when we travel across the seas for a few days on a vacation, reach the end and just can’t wait to get home? Nothing compares to sleeping in our own beds, using our own bathrooms, getting back into our own routines, catching up with our neighbors to hear the latest news on some neighborhood gossip and yes, some even pleasure from the thought of going back to work (or school). But what happens to us when we can’t? You begin to lose touch of what to do, where to go and how to pay for it, especially as budgets for the trip are usually expended or waning from the travels. Well, reports are coming in from all corners of the United States that our European visitors are getting a big dose of American Hospitality! How cool is that? Families, individuals and groups are being offered special hotel discounts, free admission into theme parks (to give them something to do), some folks are offering their own homes even if just to meet and spend some time with a foreign couple or family. Everyone here in the US is pitching in to help our stranded visitors and I am so proud and humbled. If you read my Facebook Tag Line, it reads, “I absolutely love people’s spirit!” This is what I’m talking about! I recently wrote and posted about motivation that comes from deep inside ones soul – here’s another example. So, for today, I would love for you to fill up your cup of Go-Go Juice and read the following article by the Associated Press “In US, welcome mat goes out for stranded travelers”, then take a few moments to see how you or your company can reach out to those who are still stuck at airports or who have posted “want ads” in newspapers looking for help – see what you too, can do to pitch in. Drink lots of Go-Go Juice to keep your senses about. Have a very thankful and joyous day!
