A new verse to 'Follow the Prophet'

Joseph was a prophet,
But first he was a boy.
He had a great question:
Which church should I join?

Joseph was sincere,
He sought a grove of trees.
He received his answer
Down upon his knees.

Maddie's Money

Here are some of the Facebook comments about Maddie's summer business: 

I would probably pay her MORE for something like this! She's AMAZING!

First of all, she needs to raise her prices or else I need to move closer to you guys. Secondly, like a true marketer she says the kitchen cleaning is complimentary and then charges for it.

She's undercharging for her services! I would pay a premium for someone who would fold my laundry!!!

We want all services but I think any package should be about 50$ 

Can I hire her for copy writing??

Good job Maddie!

Wow! This is amazing and her rates are so reasonable! I wish she was closer and I would sign up for all of the services! I'm definitely showing this to Campbell to see if she's willing to learn from your enterprising daughter!

I'd pay her just to write

"This complimentary package costs $2.50" -- truth in advertising!

 skip harvard business school. go straight to P &G senior management.

Fantastic!! Amazing prices too, she can come live with me!!

Umm I'd hire her

That shows she's the daughter of a world class marketer

If she's for real, I'll pay her $15 to make me 3 sandwiches mon, Tues and weds next week. Just 1 a dsy.

So awesome! Love her style! Thanks for sharing this!

Amazing!

She will corner the market!

Hi friend--been meaning to write to you and tell you that I was blown away by Maddie's Maddie Money sales pitch. C'mon--you helped her, right? It's SO good. Concise, engaging, clearly states the value prop, beautifully organized and consistent, utterly adorable and very competitively priced! Hugely impressed. She's a better copywriter than most of the people here with that title. Seriously, excellent work!

Flashback tonight

Tonight I had a bit of a flashback to trying to sleep during the summers of my youth. Our house had air conditioning in the living room only, and the upstairs where we all slept was always very hot in the summer. So hot that falling asleep was almost impossible some nights. I'd feel so hot and sticky just laying there in the heat. Making matters worse was the ever-present reality of mosquitoes who would sneak in through the completely non existent screens or the many holes in the screens. Just as you'd be falling asleep, the persistent 'zzzzzzzz' of the mosquitoes would jar me awake as I swatted them in the dark.

As I think about it, I feel so blessed today. Air conditioning cools my house. Fans blow gentle breezes on us as we sleep. There is nary a bug in the entire house.

But, on the other hand...it would be special to go back for a minute. To have my brother sleeping in the other side of the room. My Mom in the next door with my sisters. Brothers sleeping further down the hall or downstairs. The family together. Just for a night.
