Happy Birthday Alexandra! 1,579

Here is my special birthday message to Alexandra.

Dear Alexandra,

None of this would have been possible without you.

You've been amazing to work with, and more importantly a true friend over the year plus we've known each other.

We started out with nothing but a dream, and look where it's taken us.

The American Monk is as much your achievement as it is mine. To say I appreciate all the effort and dedication you've put into this dream would be an understatement.

I see it as much more than just setting up websites and teleseminars, sending emails and helping out our members - I see you as a partner in our quest for making the world a better, more enlightened place.

Your patience, resourcefulness and kindness continue to inspire me to reach greater heights, and I can only hope that I've been able to do the same for you.

Remember that weekend we spent individually wrapping up copies of the MindBox just so we could get them out to our members on time? Things were just a little more chaotic back then, but you stood by me without a single complaint.

I could go on and on here, but I think you get the idea. You've been a true blessing to me, and I can't wait to see what else the future holds for us.

Happy Birthday!

Burt

P.S. Don't worry, I'm not going to tell anyone how young you're turning ;)

The above letter is my birthday message for my assistant Alexandra. If you're subscribed to my mailing list, you'll be familiar with her through her emails to you. I'd like to make this one really special for her, so I'd really appreciate if you could send her a quick birthday message in the comments section below.

I can't wait to see the look on her face when she receives all your wonderful wishes. Lets try to blow past our record of 908 comments!

Sincerely,

Burt

The Obama Effect? 258

This is just one of those things you need to *see* to *believe.*

A recent study has found that the achievement gap between white and African-American students significantly decreased immediately after President Obama's nomination acceptance speech, and just after his election victory.

What this means is that President Obama's achievements have directly influenced black children in America to rise up and do better in the classroom.

The study was featured in the New York Times, and you can see it for yourself here.

This is an incredible finding, and it just goes to show how powerful role models can be in our lives.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this:

  • Why do you think the Obama Effect happened?
  • Have you personally observed any cases of the Obama Effect?
  • What do you think this means for our future?
