11:31 today!!!
At 11:31 today the members of MCC who are attending the Royal Oak and Ann Arbor meetings will stop what they are doing, join hands and FOCUS on raising the collective energy in our region.
You do NOT have to be at our meeting to participate. You can stop what you are doing and tap into our collective consciousness and make the same impact regardless of where you are.
It is said that 1% of the square root of a population focused in a meaningful way can alter the energy of the area in which they are. If our region is 5 million people, we have WAY more than enough people to change the energy.
If you are in a meeting, tell your prospect, client, co-workers or boss what you are doing and get them to help. If you are in the car, please pull over. I don't want to cause accidents. I am asking for one minute of your day to make a lasting impact on our fine region.
I am Detroit. You are Detroit. We are all Detroit. Let's manifest it's greatness together.
I am asking you to focus on positive change for us all for one minute. It's one minute you can't afford not to give.
Thank you-
Terry
BTW, if you are coming to our meeting, please wash your hands ;-)

Terry - you are referring to the "hundredth monkey affect"...read on.. Rick Reid
The Hundredth Monkey
by Ken Keyes, jr.
The Japanese monkey, Macaca fuscata, had been observed in the wild for a period of over 30 years.
In 1952, on the island of Koshima, scientists were providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropped in the sand. The monkeys liked the taste of the raw sweet potatoes, but they found the dirt unpleasant.
An 18-month-old female named Imo found she could solve the problem by washing the potatoes in a nearby stream. She taught this trick to her mother. Her playmates also learned this new way and they taught their mothers too.
This cultural innovation was gradually picked up by various monkeys before the eyes of the scientists.
Between 1952 and 1958 all the young monkeys learned to wash the sandy sweet potatoes to make them more palatable.
Only the adults who imitated their children learned this social improvement. Other adults kept eating the dirty sweet potatoes.
Then something startling took place. In the autumn of 1958, a certain number of Koshima monkeys were washing sweet potatoes -- the exact number is not known.
Let us suppose that when the sun rose one morning there were 99 monkeys on Koshima Island who had learned to wash their sweet potatoes.
Let's further suppose that later that morning, the hundredth monkey learned to wash potatoes.
THEN IT HAPPENED!
By that evening almost everyone in the tribe was washing sweet potatoes before eating them.
The added energy of this hundredth monkey somehow created an ideological breakthrough!
But notice.
A most surprising thing observed by these scientists was that the habit of washing sweet potatoes then jumped over the sea --
Colonies of monkeys on other islands and the mainland troop of monkeys at Takasakiyama began washing their sweet potatoes.
Thus, when a certain critical number achieves an awareness, this new awareness may be communicated from mind to mind.
Although the exact number may vary, this Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon means that when only a limited number of people know of a new way, it may remain the conscious property of these people.
But there is a point at which if only one more person tunes-in to a new awareness, a field is strengthened so that this awareness is picked up by almost everyone!

Love what you're doing. I'm a Detroit girl through and through, total car nut and in love with our business community. It's small enough to make a name for yourself and filled with opportunities if you're willing to dig a little and be creative. Thanks for generating such great awareness.

Terry,
You are an inspiration to all of us MCC members. Being at BD's in Royal Oak yesterday was terrific and being a part of a small group of people trying to change the world around us is simply amazing. Sharing inspirational stories with the group was the perfect ending to a wonderful networking event.
Looking forward to many more MCC events and keep up the great work.
