Tami started a thread on the off topic forum that was a Valentine's Day challenge:

"What if this year for Valentines Day each of us decided to do something outrageous that expressed love beyond our wildest dreams? Rather than waiting around to be the recipient of a token of love that we think we need in order to feel good about ourselves, we proactively reach out and really do something loving. Something big. And what if that something included a multitude of folk and expanded way beyond our particular comfort zone?"

I took her up on it and the out come is this:
FREE half-hour Quantum-Touch energy healing sessions at the local library.
Everyone welcome!
Saturday, February 16, 2008
3:30pm - 7:30pm
Coos Bay Library, Cedar Room
Happy Valentine’s -
with love from area
Quantum-Touch practitioners.

That was the gift I had in mind from Rick and I to whoever wants to take us up on it.
THEN, Rick got the wonderful idea to invite graduates of our workshops to join us.
The ones that have responded are crazy for the idea...
They get to help people. They get practice and they get their hours in faster!
Like win-win-win.
We'll keep you updated with how many we have giving and receiving.
Our cost for this venture will be $15 for ads in the local weekly freebie, and whatever paper and ink for flyers (and even there, some of the others will be printing and distributing.)
Ya gotta love it!
And it's not too late for you to do it too.

Brilliant idea! You'll have a wonderful time - giving Love is the way to go!

Great idea of Tami and you Christina. I was intending to promote QT on a larger (national) scale here and was waiting for the right time to do that. Some time ago I thought Valentine day would be the appropriate day to promote QT through the local newspapers here in relation to the power and impact of (Unconditional) Love and that it is important to send/give Love.

When I saw the posts of Tami and you in the Off-Topic forum regarding Valentine day, I decided to submit an article about QT and Love to be published in the newspapers here for that day. Last Friday I went to the office of two of the most important daily newspapers here to discuss about the possibility for the submission of such an article.
Immediately after I told them about QT and I mentioned that I am a certified practitioner in this new and wonderful healing method, they requested me for an interview for the newspaper. Yesterday a journalist of one of the newspapers had already an interview with me about QT and it is likely that his article will be published tomorrow. Another journalist of the second newspaper will also have an interview with me tomorrow. Additionally I will submit the article about QT and Love for Valentine day.

Thank you for your inspiration, it is really challenging for an engineer/scientist to come in publicity in this way.

Many Love and Blessings,

Armand.

Yay Armand!
Totally cool. Awesome!
Well done.
Way to go.
That is terrific.
Any chance it will be printed in English?
Well, it didn't hurt to ask.
We're proud of you stepping up and out like that...took moxie (grit, courage) going out of your comfort zone.
May this be the start of a super growth spurt for QT in Suriname. Yay (again)!
Christina

Wonderful things coming ahead for us. Any one else have ideas? I believe the possibilities are endless and now I have to choose how I will contribute to the Love Fest for the day and see how long I can keep it going.

Blessings,
Tami

Armand,

You make a wonderful representative for Quantum Touch. Thank you for spreading the word.

Much Love and blessings

Oh, Armand!! How wonderful! Please post links to the newspaper articles if they are posted on line.... I will find someone to translate for me!

Blessings, my friend!

Thanks Armand for being you and doing what you do!

You are such an inspiration! thanks for sharing what you are doing.

Dear All ,

Thank you for your responses. Wishing everybody participating in and reading this forum a Happy Valentine Day.
For all the women/ladies participating in and reading this forum, attached I have a digital Valentine bouquet of flowers, composed by myself, made of flowers from my garden and some from the tropical rainforest.

Regarding to the articles in the newspaper I have changed my strategy/program. After the publication of the article of the first journalist who interviewed me, there was a rush of people calling me for information and very urgent sessions, although my contact information was not mentioned in the article. So I decided to stop for a moment regarding the publicity. Later on I will submit more articles for the newspaper myself regarding QT, and at a later stage I will go to the second newspaper for the interview.

I will adopt the proposal of Christina with some modification. I decided to give all the people here who phoned me by today, Valentine day, requesting for a QT session, after reading the article in the newspaper, a free first session. This as a Valentine gift.

Many Love and Blessing,

Armand

Thank you Armand. Wow! What a great response you got from the article and what a loving way for you to follow up on Valentine's Day. You are fabulous.

So Christina How did it go? Are you just oozing love out of you?
Blessings and Gratitude for all you and Rick do.
Tami

Molinda, Tami and Chris thank you for your response.

Christina and Jana,
Attached I am posting the English version of the article which was publish today by the Newspaper “Times of Suriname”, which is a summary of Dutch version (after my request). There is an error in the article. Perhaps the journalist was too enthusiast about the article, mentioning me being the first certified QT practitioner in the Caribbean region. That is not true, there is a QT practitioner in Guyana and one in Barbados. However I think the message is the most important thing.
The URL of the website of the newspaper is: www.surinametimes.com. You need to subscribe to get a digital copy.

Tami and Christina,
Thanks again for the inspiration. I think this is the start my campaign here to promote QT on the larger scale. The first step was difficult, really challenging, the next steps will be easier.

Many Love and Blessings,

Armand.
