Last Thursday I had the opportunity to attend the SkillsUSA regional conference here in Salt Lake City. I was so inspired that I had chills the whole time.
What a fantastic organization!
I've always bristled at the idea that there is only ONE path for our youth, and that the world is a "sink or swim" proposition. There are always new talents that can be discovered and developed. There are always new paths of interest that can change our lives.
SkillsUSA is REALLY WORKING AND SUCCEEDING with our youth!
I saw and met some of the most dynamic and positive young people in the whole world. This is really something you should investigate.
I saw people changing their lives, and making a difference in the lives of others.
What a wonderful day.
I want to thank my good friend Craig Moore for making my visit possible.
We come here today to make a difference. I believe that when we lift another, we lift EVERYONE. Please share your ideas and thoughts.

Big story telling night in Utah!
This is still in the idea stage, but I'm moving quickly.
This will take place in Utah, initially.
I can easily get a venue.
I need help with advertising and sponsorship.
I need storytellers.
And!
I need input and ideas.
I plan to tape the whole event.

I'm now listed on Speaker Match.
I've joined Speaker Match.
I really like their services. I hope this new endeavor will help me expand my speaking experience.
I also will be doing promoting of my own speaking engagements, so we'll soon have more to talk about here.
Apart from my speaking career, I've been dealing with the marriage of my sweet daughter, Xochil.
It's a joy to see her start a new life with her dear husband, Tyson, but it's really hard to let her go.
I wish her every success in life, and all the love in the world!

Come to my presentation on July 10th!
Yes!
It's true!
On July 10th, at 1:30 pm, I'll be presenting:
"You must be Joking"
at the Centerville library.
It's going to be great. We'll talk about the right way and the wrong way to tell a joke. We'll talk about ways that an enhanced sense of humor can improve your social life, your career, and you intelligence.
And,
you'll have the opportunity to come up and share a joke and have your style analysed, or learn how to tell a joke.
It's going to be GREAT!
And while we're at it, here's a good joke:
A cowboy walks into a wild west saloon, sits down at the bar and asks for a shot of whiskey. The bartender serves him his whiskey and says,
"You hear about the Brown Paper Cowboy? Hung him they did."
The cowboy at the bar looks up and says
"Why do they call him the Brown Paper Cowboy?"
The bartender explains,
"They call him the Brown Paper Cowboy because all of his clothes are made of brown paper - his hat, his shirt, pants - even his chaps are made of brown paper."
The cowboy nods in recognition and asks,
"So why'd they hang him?"
The bartender replies,
"Rustlin'."

Beautiful day with the Las Vegas Central Rotary Club!
We talked about self sufficiency.
This is a wonderful club with a great spirit. The feeling of welcome among was a good feeling for me as soon as I arrived.
This club is focused on thier purpose.
Thoughts were shared on successful service projects and experiences that had helped people grow and achieve.
That's what "Teach a Man to Fish" is all about. Gestures and efforts that lift someone that maybe struggling, even a little, and the results change us all.
I really believe that when you learn something new, change your life for the better, or reach out to serve another, you've made the whole of the human race better. It's simple science. If we are all part of one great thing, the Human Race, then we all grow and improve when any one of us lifts or is lifted.
Lunch was great, the Country Club is very historic, and it was a WONDERFUL day over all!
