Thank you so much, Peter, for being with us today. We’re just delighted to [00:01:00] have you here and I can’t wait to hear more about this philosophy you have of life. But first I want to, I want you to tell us a little bit about your background.
Peter: Okay. Um, well, how far back ?
Dorothy: Well, I love the story of, you know, you were very, very successful.
And, uh, how you just had such a great business, but one day it dawned on you that’s Not what you want it to do.
Peter: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I, I teach that in the, in the classes that I do and so forth. You know, uh, myself included, everybody circulates through life. Don’t they? They just kind of circulate, circulate, circulate, getting promotions and raises and so forth and so on.
Or, you know, if you start off in high school, just all the different things you do, going to college, getting married, you circulate through life. But every once in a while, as I was circulating through my life, I’d percolate. . And when I would percolate, I look above me and I saw a bigger, brighter future for Peter Remington.
And I believe everybody [00:02:00] sees that in their life. They percolate. But what happened to me in the, you know, this process took 30 years.
Dorothy: Mm-Hmm.
Peter: I mean, I felt like I was walking through the desert for 40, but you know, it was took, you know, as I would percolate, I’d get up there and I see a better. more, uh, abundant life for Peter Remington, but then all of a sudden I’d get a promotion or a raise and boom, I’m right back into circulating through life.
And it wasn’t until about 15, 16 years ago that I percolated and I stayed there. And that’s what happens. You know, because I decided to make that choice. I decided that this is where I’m supposed to be and not down here circulating with the masses.
Dorothy: Well, that’s a great way of putting it. Yeah.
Peter: Yeah. And everybody has that opportunity.
Dorothy: You believe that?
Peter: I know that. I know that. Everybody receives messages from whatever you want to call it, if you want to call it from God or from the universe, whatever your higher power is, uh, you get a message and you have to pay attention to it. That’s the thing, because you have, [00:03:00] you know, they say when, when, when people pray, they’re talking to God.
Well, intuition is when God talks back and intuition comes to you very, very quietly. It said, yeah. Little feather touching your ear. That’s God talking to you or your higher power talking to you. I use God as an acronym. God is your grand overall designer, G O D, grand overall designer of your life. So, when you hear that little intuition coming to you, pay attention to it because that’s the message that you need to heed.
Because when you have God doing that and you have your adversary, whatever your adversary may be, Over here pounding away on the drums and the pots and the kettles and making everything noisy and, and distracting to you, that’s going to keep you circulating through your life. But this little feather on your ear, this little still silence voice in your heart is what’s going to get you to percolate and stay up there.
Everybody has that.
Dorothy: So how do we [00:04:00] really pay attention to it?
Peter: Be aware. And you think about this, you know, back in, um, in the, in the days of, uh, Emerson and people like that, you know, their whole life was built about farming, wasn’t it? And they had a couple of things to do. They had to farm their land, disc their land till it cleared of stones and so forth.
And then they would read spiritual. They read out of the Bible, they do spiritual pray and do all the, that was their whole thought process. They weren’t worried about Tik Tok or Instagram or Facebook or, or 500 TV stations or, you know, what am I going to look like today? All those different distractions that children, young adults, adults have in their lives.
They, they didn’t have that problem. So they spent a lot of time thinking. And so while they were thinking and call it meditating or prayer, whatever you may call it, while they’re doing all that, they are getting messages. They’re receiving messages because they’re [00:05:00] silent. They take time to do that and they’re aware of their surroundings.
So what we in today’s A world is to take some time out and sit in a silent room, be quiet with ourselves, meditate for a bit and listen to what’s being sent your way.
Dorothy: That’s great. That’s great. Now I happen to have a little ranch and I’m going to tell you that’s hard work, but what you just said about being out, being in nature, it is, it’s an entirely different world and it’s one that we forget about.
in the city.
Peter: Right.
Dorothy: You don’t often take that time for it, but it’s considered to be a healing, total healing experience for many people. So, yeah.
Peter: I mean, um, you know, going around Memorial Park now with what they’ve done with the park, with the bridges over the, the road and so forth, and get back in the woods and you could just be alone.
But even, Down by, um, Lake City and Kemah, there’s some great [00:06:00] walking paths down there where people can go into nature and be by themselves. And it’s just great to sit there and be silent. And listen, and look at the wonder of what’s out there.
Dorothy: Oh yeah.
Peter: It’s just amazing.
Dorothy: It’s kind of that open your eyes.
Peter: Yes.
Dorothy: Be aware.
Peter: Yeah, be and be aware and just be silent with yourself. I meditate in my office at home and I will sit there and I’ll concentrate on a spot or a photo or whatever and I just look at it and just calm myself down. And I just be aware.
Dorothy: Now, one of the things I wanted to ask you is, what do you think the difference is between self care and well being?
Peter: Oh, boy.
Dorothy: Hey, you’re describing some of those things that get us there.
Peter: Excuse me. You know, self care is just taking care of yourself, right? Which is what you put in your mouth and how you work out and taking care of just your physicality and so forth. But well [00:07:00] being To me is being centered, you know, working from the inside out, you know, by working from the inside out, you’re able to project who you are and if your, your, your well being is being balanced, it’s being spiritual, it’s being able to pray, it’s being able to see the good that’s out there and It’s, it’s much more of a calming factor than self care is.
Dorothy: Mm hmm.
Peter: So.
Dorothy: Great way to describe it.
Peter: Oh.
Dorothy: Not everybody feels good about themselves.
Peter: No. No, they don’t, no.
Dorothy: So how do we get to that place of feeling good about ourselves?
Peter: Well, I didn’t feel good about myself for the longest time. Um, you know, I’m a, a, a son of a 22 year old. Uh, 22 year Marine Corps veteran. He fought in World War II and in the [00:08:00] Korean War.
He was a fighter pilot. And, uh, you know, he got there when he was 21. That generation being thrown into what they were thrown into at such a young age and, um, you know, his, his whole thing, when he came back, started raising children, he raised us like Marines.
If, uh, something happened to us, well, that was just too darn bad about you, right? You know, if you had a cut or whatever, he’d pinch it to make it bleed more. You know, I always said that my father made the great Santini look like Bozo the Clown. So, so, you know, there were parts in my life growing up that I always felt that I was never good enough.
And so I didn’t feel good about myself. I wasn’t fast enough. I wasn’t smart enough. I was all these different things. But then I realized, you know, as you get older, And you get smarter, and I get more into myself, into my well being, that, you know, that’s not [00:09:00] my, was it my dad’s fault, or my mom’s fault, or anything like that?
And that’s what they knew, that’s how they were raised. It is my turn now to fix myself, and, and, and become better. So, I go through this process, or I went through this process, and I’ve, I’m a seeker, by the way. I have done so many different things, I’ve been on shaman journeys, I’ve Um, uh, you know, wake up in the morning, climb a mountain at five o’clock in the morning, watch the sun rise when I was living in California, San Francisco, and, you know, I just tried all these different ways to, to, uh.
Go inside myself. And so what I discovered is you need to learn how to become an erase a holic and what I mean by that I wrote a book called “Be-Aholic: A 14-Step Process to Becoming a Success-Aholic” and that’s a shameless plug for me But I’m going to take it and so with that the first step about being A holic is an erase-aholic erasing your [00:10:00] limiting beliefs Erasing your low self confidence, erasing any sort of things you have that were put into your system at the age of six through whatever, right?
Or even when you’re three to whatever. So by being an erase-aholic, let’s just say you have a notion that you’ll never amount to anything that was brought into you by, I mean, these, these things are given to you by some pretty credible people, whether it be your parents or your church or your teachers or your siblings or your grandparents, whatever they’re, they kind of program you their way, but not your way.
There wasn’t what, the life you were supposed to live, it was the life they were telling you to live and how to live it and how to be a certain way. So, you have to ask yourself, if they say to you, you’re never going to amount to anything, you have to ask yourself, is that true, false, or I don’t know? Now you think [00:11:00] about that.
Is it true that you’re never going to amount to anything? No. Is it false? Yeah. Is it I don’t know? Possibly. Because you are going to amount to something. So when that person gave you that, imprint on your soul or whatever you want to call it. You can go and meditate and go see that person and say, Hey, that was you projecting on me.
Okay. That was your limiting belief, not my limiting belief. And you gave it to me when I was four years old or five years old. So therefore I’m going to erase that from my system. I’m not going to buy into that. I’m not going to own it. I’m going to give it back to you. And I’m going to go out and rewrite my script on how I’m going to live my life and become a bigger, better person.
So I totally believe that, you know, to fix yourself, you need to go back and visit with those people. Not physically, because they may no longer be with you. But go back and, and in meditation or in thought or whatever. Go back and give it away. Just give it back to them, don’t take ownership of it, [00:12:00] and then rewrite your own script to become the person you’re supposed to be.
Dorothy: Wow. That’s a, that’s a great idea.
Peter: Yeah, it’s, it’s, It’s.
Dorothy: A great way of doing it.
Peter: It is.
Dorothy: Yeah.
Peter: Um, you talk to everybody, every, everybody, there’s a fabulous book and I cannot remember the author’s name right now, but I read it back in 1988 or 89 called “Feelings Buried Alive Never Die”. And it’s all about people who have been programmed or have had, have had their feelings hurt or whatever.
And so they have little buttons all over their chest. And some people have a great big button all over their chest that people have the habit of pushing. And it causes that person to have a bad day or a bad week and some people a bad month, some other people a bad year. But those feelings, if you don’t address them, if you don’t address those negative feelings, they will never die.
And you will hold on to those feelings and live with those feelings throughout your life. [00:13:00] Which is not what you want to do. You want to get those feelings and give them back to the person that gave them to you. So you don’t have to live with them. Get rid of them.
Dorothy: So that’s not a one time process. You may have to do it many times, right?
Peter: Many. Thank you for saying that. Absolutely. No, it’s not a one time process. But, and they, and the buttons really never ever go away. You just minimize them to the point where they’re only like the, the, the top of a pin versus the size of a disk.
Dorothy: Good example. Yes. That’s a real good image.
Peter: And then you also get a chance to. become aware when those buttons are being pushed, even though they are the size of a pin, they could still get pushed, but you’re so much better, you’re so much stronger about yourself that you go ahead and you don’t accept what’s being said to you.
Dorothy: Okay, now you’re gonna have to make a real leap here.
How did the book move into this prepare for more, uh, process that you’ve created?
Peter: Well, that, that book is. Prepare for [00:14:00] more and it was all and really what it was is the preparing. I did getting to that book So, you know my first self help class was a Dale Carnegie course when I was like 24 years old.
Dorothy: Absolutely.
Peter: And you know how to win friends and influence enemies or whatever it was.
And, uh, uh, when I was done with that course, I didn’t recognize myself. I was saying things and talking and speaking and being more outrageous than, than I’ve ever been before, you know, in my first 24 years of living. But, um, uh, that was the start of it. And the person who turned me on to the book of Feelings Buried Alive Never Die, when I read that, I said, wow, that’s huge.
And then I just started reading a bunch of metaphysical books, and self help books, and psychology books, and So forth and, uh, then Tony Robbins came out and then Stephen Covey came out and reading Think and Grow Rich by [00:15:00] Napoleon Hill and Wallace Waddles and James Allen and, uh, uh, Jennifer Behrend.
There’s all the Geneviève Behrend. There’s all these individuals. When you read those books, Emerson, whatever you want to read. And they say, this is tremendous. This is tremendous. And you just start. I just started building myself up to the point where I finally read or wrote that book. Actually, I need to Rewind on that a little bit.
I was, I always go to seminars and I was in a seminar where we were doing a guided meditation. In other words, you would sit there and someone would tell you what you’re supposed to be meditating on. And so I’m lying down and meditating with a person started telling this story, which is you’re supposed to hop in a boat.
Go off to an island, climb up the mountain of the island and go into a temple, and in the temple you go up there there’s all your friends and the people you love and some of the people you’ve hurt you make your amends and so forth and [00:16:00] you go back to the room and you empty out all the things that you’re carrying in your backpack and that could be just weighted down issues you may have but you get rid of those things And then you point out the people that you want to continue your life’s journey with, and you go back down the mountain, you hop on your boat, and sail away and have a happy life.
Mine was nothing like that. Nothing. I was, when I started my meditation, I was at the Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. And there, there’s a black, oily water there in San Francisco. The seals are there, they’re barking away, and it smells like fish, and there’s this huge sailboat with a ding attached. I hopped in a dinghy and I’m sailing across San Francisco Bay.
It’s a gray, cold San Francisco day, sailing up past Alcatraz and on my way to Marin County. And as soon as I hit Marin County, which is where Mount Tamalpais is, I hit the shore and all of a sudden everything goes into technicolor. It’s beautiful. It’s [00:17:00] colorful. It’s like Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz, right?
Boom. And I started climbing up Mount Tam. And, uh, on my way there, the path is this huge boulder in my way, and it’s either you have to go over it, under it, or around it. Well, I just took my hand and I pushed that boulder out of my way, and I continued my journey up to where the temple was. I get to the temple.
I open the door and there’s all the friends of mine, the people I love, and some people I’ve hurt, and he’s making my apologies and amends, and I go back to the altar in the back of the room, and there’s an angel waiting for me. And so I took off my backpack, and put everything down on the table, and then the angel said, I want you to turn around and walk through those doors.
I turned around, I opened the doors, and it was flooded with light. I was just flooded with light. And I walked through the light, and all of a sudden, this little hand grabbed my hand. And I [00:18:00] looked down, and it was me at the age of five. And I looked down at me, and I said, Are you okay? And five year old me said to me, Yeah, are you okay?
I said, Yeah. I said, well, let’s do this thing. So he turned around, I get to the front of the room, I say goodbye to everybody. I didn’t take any, I, this is the funny part. I float down the mountain like a bad Japanese movie, right? Float down, get back in my dinghy, and I sailed back to San Francisco, back to the gray.
That night I went to bed and woke up at 3 o’clock in the morning, which is a critical time because 3 o’clock is when the Holy Spirit is out and around talking to you. I woke up and I realized at that point That my purpose in life was to achieve my highest human potential that I possibly can and that to teach others That the screenplay they were given is not the screenplay they have to live out.
That they can rewrite their own screenplay [00:19:00] and live the life they were meant to live. And my purpose in life is to vibrate at the highest level allowed by God. And to take all the gray out of people and turn them into colorful people.
Dorothy: Oh, I love that, Peter. That is really great.
Peter: At that point, I started writing the book.
Dorothy: Oh, right then.
Peter: Right then and then. I have a great big post at I had posters in my, in my room where I was and I had my desk and I just started writing the outline to it and next thing you know, six months later I was published and then I became a bestselling author on Amazon.
Dorothy: Wow. Wow. Just talking about these things.
Peter: Yes.
Dorothy: Yes.
Peter: Just talking about being an erase aholic, a purpose aholic. A goal aholic, A-A-A-A-A, believe aholic, um, all the different things. Action aholic, all the different things.
Dorothy: Okay. What I’m hearing from you is that words, the words we use are very important.
Peter: Yes.
Dorothy: So tell us a and, and tell us about your process of having the [00:20:00] intention cards that you use every day.
Peter: Okay. So. You know, we all sit down and I’m guilty of it as a, you know, I was running offices and so forth. And I put together my to do list for the day, the one through ten. We’re all critical to do the, the, uh, to do list. And through the courses I’ve taken, I’ve taken, I’ve worked with Les Brown, Mary Morrissey, uh, John Maxwell, uh, Bob Proctor, Paul Martinelli, a bunch of different individuals.
So I’ve had a lot of coaching. And coaching It’s not a bad thing. Coaching is good for everybody because they help bring you about some of the things that I couldn’t do on my own, they brought out on me, brought it out of me and that’s critical. So if anybody is watching and listening this, if you need a coach, get a coach, have somebody help you through your journey and help you through the process.
So we had, I had my goal set for my business. But I [00:21:00] didn’t have my goals set for Peter Remington. And so these intentions cards came out through one of my mentors and we would set intentions for you’d set your intentions for the day. There’s four things that I would do. And I still do. Now it’s five things, but the four things in the beginning were, what are my intentions for the day?
What do I, what am I planning on doing for. Peter today, you know, I, for me, I might, my intention could be as simple as buying a cup of coffee for a stranger or, you know, telling the cashier at the grocery store how great she looks, what a great job she’s done, just making people feel good. Right. So that might be my intention for the day.
The second thing I do is I write down, what am I grateful for? Let’s remember what we’re grateful for. And so I’m grateful for my house, my health, my car, for my dog, for my wife, you know, for the life I’ve lived, for the, for the challenges I’m given. I’m grateful for my challenges. Um, and then I write down Uh, [00:22:00] what I call my great I AM’s.
Images about me. I AM’s. And those are how am I going to portray myself to the people today. Am I going to be positive and loving and forgiving and energetic and ready and prepared? That’s my great I AM’s on how I’m going to project myself. The fourth thing I do is I write down what am I going to create today?
If I’m going to create a new friend, am I going to create a new account? What am I going to create for the day? Uh, and that’s what I write down. And now the fifth thing that I do. Is I what did I do today? So I kind of have a journal going along with this whole thing as well So I can see what I did and how did it affect, I may not have done what my intentions were.
I might not have created what I wanted to create, but I did do something. So I want to make sure I log that into my.
Dorothy: Celebrate.
Peter: Yeah, celebrate those wins.
Dorothy: Celebrate those wins. Absolutely.
Peter: Yeah.
Dorothy: Peter, you, you’ve become quite a philosopher. And I know one of the titles you have, [00:23:00] uh, you’ll have to tell me how you got this, but was Chief possibility officer.
Peter: Yes.
Dorothy: Yeah. And so do you give yourself that name or did someone, how’d you get that?
Peter: So when I first started working with my mentors, there is a beautiful woman. Her name is Joyce. And, uh, she happened to pass of breast cancer, by the way. And, um, Her title was chief possibility officer at the, uh, mentor program that I was in and we were talking and I was just telling all these things.
And she said, I want to give you this title. So it was given to me. And, um, and I just loved it. And have title is given to me. back in 2009, and I’ve held on to that title. I think it means everything because, you know, there’s the, the, the baby boom generation, there’s the next generation, there’s generation X, there’s the generation what [00:24:00] next, but we’re, you know, I believe that we’re all part of one generation, which is the possibility generation.
Whether you’re 18 or 80, anything is possible at any given moment. You just have to act on it.
Dorothy: And believe it.
Peter: Yes.
Dorothy: And look for it.
Peter: It’s, yes. And have faith in it. Faith is a big thing in life. If you don’t have faith, if you don’t have faith in, you know, faith is used 21 times in the, uh, book, uh, Hebrews book in the Bible, you use faith, you know, faith that they would part the sea, faith that she, that Mary would give birth to Jesus, faith that certain things would happen.
So faith is a big thing. So you have to believe that you have to have faith and you have to be able to act upon that faith and keep on moving forward, even if there’s. No evidence that things are happening just because there’s, you know, lack of evidence doesn’t mean there’s evidence of lack. [00:25:00] It’s gonna happen.
Lack of evidence doesn’t mean evidence of lack. You know, for the worst analogy in the whole wide world, because everybody uses it, which is the oak turning into an oak tree. But a blade of grass will start to sprout within a week. So there’s some, there’s some evidence, right? But you plant an acorn and you’re staring at the ground for a very very long time You could just walk away from say that’s not going to grow into a tree That’s lack of evidence But it’s not evidence of lack because that thing is growing underneath the ground and it’ll eventually grow into an oak tree.
Dorothy: Great example.
All right, Peter now bring us to Breast cancer has been something that you’ve experienced in, not just your friend’s life, personal life.
Peter: My sister had it, yeah.
Dorothy: And, and were you coaching her during that time?
Peter: No, it’s, it’s, it’s a sibling. I was just loving her. Okay, I don’t know. And maybe [00:26:00] through, um, My words of love, my feelings of love towards her.
There is, might have been some coaching going on, right? But, um, it’s, it’s, it’s different than talking to friends that are going through that difficulty and, and how I talk to them and what I talk to them about keeping their spirits up and, and having faith again. Right. That there’s, that they’re gonna be well.
Dorothy: But you’re touching on something very important. Sometimes it’s more difficult with family.
Peter: Yeah, because you’re siblings.
Dorothy: You’re siblings, and, and, you tell them you love them, and you try to show it, but you can’t take it away from them, whatever it is.
Peter: No, no.
Dorothy: And, and, it’s sometimes very hard. You know, the number one question that I hear from people is I don’t know what to say to someone.
Once they’ve been diagnosed. I don’t know, I don’t know how to help them. I’ve asked them what can I do, which, we all know, when, when you’re going through an experience, don’t ask, just [00:27:00] do something.
Peter: Just do, thank you for saying that. Can I do this for you, or?
Dorothy: If it’s a sack of groceries, or a, you know, come in and take care of the kids for a day, or whatever.
Peter: Clean the house.
Dorothy: Right, right. There’s so many little things we can do. Because everyone’s going through something. But when it’s something like breast cancer, you know, it’s very visible, it’s very stra You know, your body is under such strain, and, and all the time, the most important thing is to focus on healing.
Peter: Yeah.
Dorothy: You know, and, and in the At The Rose, so many of our women are in financial straits that All they can think about is how many bills am I going to have?
Peter: Right.
Dorothy: You know, and that’s one of our, our real, uh, challenges. And I, I think everybody worries about that. So sometimes, we just have to go on faith like you’re talking about.
Peter: Well, and you know, when you sit there and you have to worry about bills, and you think about those things that, you know, they’re, they’re, they’re out there for sure. But worrying about [00:28:00] those bills is not helping your situation. You know, it’s have faith that those bills will get paid. Have faith that you have this magnificent machine called your body.
And have faith and prayer. You know, your body has the ability to repair itself in a lot of different ways. And prayer has the ability to repair yourself in a lot of different ways. Even though you’re fighting this terrible thing called cancer. But you have faith that this is going to happen. Your bills are going to get paid.
Your kids are going to get fed. Things are going to happen for you. Um, because if you keep yourself in a state of faith and believing and things are going to be positive, it will, it will.
Dorothy: People, people will show up.
Peter: People will show up.
Dorothy: You’ll, you’ll have that nudge to go do something else. You’ll, yes, I’ve, I’ve seen it.
Over and over again.
Peter: People can think their way into sickness.
Dorothy: And, and, that’s so true.
Peter: Right?
Dorothy: And sometimes once we get into the physical state, we need a physical, uh, happening to get us out of it. So, you know, that’s, [00:29:00] that is, uh, so much about life. Gosh, there is, I have a thousand questions. We may have to get you back on this show.
Uh, to just go through them, but. You also have a non profit, right?
Peter: I, I have a non profit called, uh, “Cheers 4 Charities”. It’s a 501c3 that I support, uh, four different children’s charities on. One being Kids Meals, who, uh, a great organization that, uh, feeds roughly 2, 700 preschool children every single day.
And it’s Meals on Wheels for preschool children because, you know, kids between the ages of zero to six, that’s when they’re forming their mind and that’s when all these great things are happening. So if they go hungry and they have this whole thing about, and they have a whole new relationship with food that’s negative and then it creates, uh, you know, um, obesity and just terrible things and their mind doesn’t develop the way it should.
So that’s one great organization. Another one is “Dec My Room”. Which, uh, decorates, uh, [00:30:00] hospital rooms for children to have long term stays in the hospital. So instead of looking at those grabby green or gray walls, they put big old fat heads of Barbie or Spider Man or a text player and change out their, uh, They’re bedspread, so it’s a little bit more enticing than that blue blanket they throw over you.
That’s a cool one.
Dorothy: Yeah, yeah. So, that’s another way that you serve. Another way that you enjoy, or you show your love.
Peter: Yeah, and I sit on the board of Kids Meals now, and I have been for the last 13 years. But I, I do a lot of Charity work and show up.
Dorothy: All right, you’ve told us about intention. You’ve told us about the importance of words.
You’ve told us about the importance of faith. Leave us with one more important thing we can do in our life.
Peter: Act. Don’t do. Don’t say. Take action. Everything, you know. Life without action is a painting. [00:31:00] You just sit there on the wall. Action is the key. To be able to execute things that you want to say, don’t just say this, do it.
Like you said earlier, don’t ask, what can I do for you? Do something. So action is so critical in everything in your life. I mean, there’s in my book, I write down about purpose and purpose is critical to, you know, you have to have purpose because without purpose, you know, life without purpose is like a sailboat without a rudder.
You know, you just go where the currents and the wind take you, not where you want to go. So you need to have purpose in your life, but purpose in your life without action is just a painting. So action is critical. And with action, what comes with action is fulfillment because you get you, you accomplish what you’re trying to do.
So once you get fulfillment. That just fills you up to the point where what’s next? What can I [00:32:00] do next? What’s the next thing that I can act upon? And that’s, that’s critical too.
Dorothy: Well, thank you for that, Peter. Thank you for everything you’ve shared with us today. This has been so great.
Peter: Well, thanks for having me.
It’s been absolutely wonderful. I enjoyed this.
Dorothy: Oh, yeah.
Peter: And I love what you’re doing with The Rose.
Dorothy: Thank you.
Peter: You know, 30 years.
Dorothy: 37.
Peter: 37 years and that’s a commitment and that’s action. That’s taking action, you know, and that’s, that’s people, you’re 1 percent of the population. Okay, just think about that when you get tired of doing what you’re doing and you’re thinking this is just so difficult.
Know that your action has made a difference in so many women’s lives. That’s very cool for you.
Dorothy: Thank you. I appreciate that.
Peter: You want one of these now?
Dorothy: No. That’s it for today. We’re gonna have Peter back very soon.
Peter: I love that. Thank you.
