When I saw the notice on FaceBook that Karatbars had launched my new friend, and fellow Karatbars affiliate, Dr. Debi Thomas's collector card, shown above, I was struck by her story and achievements, that I was compelled to write about it. It is such an inspiration to people, who have struggled, fallen down, and gotten back up again. And then to cap it off, take on a Mission to empower not just herself and a few, but an entire Region. Also, it takes great character, humility, and lots of LOVE, to be so vulnerable in the face of others. My hat is off to you both, Jamie & Debi. I wish you much Success in your Mission, and I will do what I can to contribute to it. And my friends will, too.
There is No Shame in falling down. All the greats have done so, at some point in their lives. The shame is in not getting back up. The book says, "...judge not, that ye be not judged." And here are some holy words of GOD that I keep very close to my heart, "...Here no evil and see no evil, abase not thyself, neither sigh and weep. Speak no evil, that thou mayest not hear it spoken unto thee, and magnify not the faults of others that thine own faults may not appear great; and wish not the abasement of anyone, that thine own abasement be not exposed. Live then the days of thy life, that are less than a fleeting moment, with thy mind stainless, thy heart unsullied, thy thoughts pure, and thy nature sanctified, so that, free and content, thou mayest put away this mortal frame, and repair unto the mystic paradise and abide in the eternal kingdom for evermore." The meanings of these words are goals I reach for throughout my life.
Jamie Looney and Dr. Debi Thomas are an odd couple, but a strong force together. Jamie is a country-boy who grew up in Grundy, Virginia and worked in the coal mining industry over a 20 year span. Debi is a former Olympian and orthopedic surgeon who moved to the community to start a private practice, but found a new passion for helping the community by learning from Jamie about the socioeconomic struggles of the region and suggesting they make a team effort to bring much needed socially responsible economic change to the Appalachian Mountain communities.
Our mission is to improve the economy and environment of our communities with fresh 21st century ideas while respectively celebrating and preserving the culture and beauty of the Appalachian Mountain region.
We have done the research and know the facts. We know there are many citizens and organizations out there who have similar ideas. We also know there is untapped potential to reach businesses who have never considered this region as a place to conduct business. We want to create a network which brings together interested parties to work together on a regular basis to bring real and more rapid change. We are affiliates of an e-commerce business, Karatbars International, which has a system in place for generating financial security through gold savings while providing the opportunity to generate passive income through referrals. This system is FREE to join, and requires limited skills. Click here to learn more about it.
We need progressive thinkers to support our cause. We feel that this is a socially responsible purpose and have left our professions to work full time for a cause which we believe will improve the lives of many in our communities where there is still a great deal of socioeconomic distress.
I support Jamie and Debi in their Mission to improve the Economy and Environment of the Appalachian Mountain Region. And on behalf of Jamie, Debi and me, I ask all of my friends, Please go visit their site at, (Save Coal Country's Economy & Environment Network SCCEEN), and contruibute what ideas, time, and treasure that you can, to this NOBLE Cause. I will do all I can to help their cause, and I ask you to do what you can, too. Jamie, Debi, and I thank you. And the people of the Appalachian Mountain Region thanks you too.
