Our long-awaited appointment with Joe Vitale

One of the best gifts ever came to us on March 4, 2008, when we had an audience with Dr. Joe Vitale. The gift was from a friend of the long road. We knew it was an very expensive gift because Dr. Vitale does not take private appointments any more. We arrived at his country home near Wimberley, TX at our appointed time to be met at the front porch by both Joe and his love, Nerissa. Joe was barefoot which set the tone for a lovely, informal, friendly visit around their kitchen table.

The effect on Paul and me was pure magic in a different direction. They gave far more than we did. Both Nerissa and Joe are 5-star listeners, which is the top ranking I can give when someone really does connect with what I say and what I mean. Read more...
