Mattie McPherson


I had a great 1 to 1 (1 to 1 is a non-virtual meeting where two humans actually meet face to face) with Mattie McPherson this morning. She told me about her Pre-Paid Legal business and I told her about my SendOutCards business. But, we really spent most of our two hours together talking about our lives, family and life in general. Mattie is really in tune with God's spirit and it was really refreshing to visit with her. In the course of our visit, she shared several touching stories of occasions where she was guided by the Spirit to reach out to others and how she was able to touch their lives as she was also touched by theirs. While I was answering a question about SendOutCards, she popped in with a story about how SendOutCards had touched her without even sending out a card. Mattie's husband, Sam, was in Texas on a job. And Mattie hadn't seen him in three weeks. They had never been separated that long before in their marriage. So Mattie decided to send Sam a SendOutCards greeting. She went to the website, chose her card and started to write the words that she wanted to share with Sam. She became so overwhelmed by the thoughts of missing her husband and trying to put her feelings into words that she stopped typing and called the airlines, got a ticket and flew out to see him instead! SendOutCards are powerful even when you don't send them!!!
