Hello Friends,
As many of you may know, Henry Bolduc has been my friend and teacher for over 30 years. He is, in fact, the man who guided me into channeling Pretty Flower. Since that time so long ago, he has assisted many to access their own guidance and has assisted individuals and professionals to learn how to assist others. I’m sending this to you all, hoping that if you are moved to help, you would make any size donation to Henry. To let him know how far his work has journeyed, please put the words “A Friend of Pretty Flower” with your donation and/or well wishes.
Thank you,
And with Blessings,
Miriandra
HELPING HANDS FOR HENRY BOLDUC - UPDATE
May 29, 2008
This is supposed to be an update on the progress of the healing and rehabilitation of Henry Bolduc, who was severely injured in an unfortunate encounter with a chain saw. As far as I know, the chain saw is fine and I’ll get to Henry in a moment.
The Helping Hands for Henry project has always had a life of its own and that may be the key to the ensuing events. I have put off starting this update several times, as when I would sit to begin, I have been simply awed by your response to assist a dear friend and stunned to discover benefits I never considered. Words seem inadequate.
With each contribution, I see the kindness and concern of the individual, not in the dollar amount, rather in the eyes, a catch in the voice or the simple words of an Email. Wonderful people, many of whom don’t even know Henry, have stepped forward to do what they can, simply because it’s a good thing to do. In so doing they step into a circle of love that is the heart of this community. Five dollars here, ten there, donations that treble the value of the gifts we have available; also donations to Henry. A check for a thousand dollars came with a one-line, ‘Get well’ message.
Each year at the IMDHA/IACT conference, there is a fifty-fifty raffle and the organizations let it be known in advance that they would donate the house portion of the proceeds to Henry, (A huge thanks to Bob and Linda Otto: it was their first idea of many, when I called a couple of weeks before the conference and told them about Henry.) A fifty-fifty raffle works like this: tickets are sold and whatever the dollar amount collected, the winner gets half: in this case it was over six hundred dollars. After the winning ticket number was announced, the winner took a while to read and reread the numbers as he realized that his, was the winning ticket! The winner stepped forward and always the comedian, Bob Otto told him "Nope, wrong number." then laughing, handed him a fat wad of bills. The winner held the money over his head and said: "This is for Henry!" There was a heartbeat of silence that still chills me to this day. Then the applause. I know that each of us would probably like to think we would have done the same thing, just because... and perhaps we would have. Jeff Cohn did. Wherever you are as you read this, whatever is happening in your world, take a moment to thank Jeff and all the others who have given so freely, for reminding each of us that we can make a difference in the world today.
The Transformation-All-Stars team: sponsors of the Helping Hands project, have as our motto: You are the Stars, Together as a Team, We Shine! Thanks to all the Stars who have passed the word and the hat. Thanks to you, for reaching out to give a hand and may you notice as your hand returns, that it has touched the soul of our community: a change has taken place.
Okay, on to Henry and his incredible, healing condition. Firstly, for those who are just tuning in, Henry slipped and fell, nearly severing his left hand with a chain saw. The nerves to the thumb were all that held the hand on. He was out in the woods behind his home and naturally, as in any good story: he was alone. Well, he managed to get to the house, there was a helicopter, hours of micro-surgery, transfusions and metal screws were stuck through the skin to hold the bones to an external metal rod, while they mended. Henry lives and breathes, he is healing and he is facing months of intense physical therapy, the pain and frustration that comes with it... without medical insurance. This is in addition to other health challenges that he was already dealing with.
In a note he sent, Henry was telling of the day the doctors removed the metal screws from his arm and he said, "Everybody tells me how good my hand looks and I just wonder how a ‘Nearly Severed Hand’ can look good." We shared a laugh at the irony.
Henry also said in conversation, that he felt as though he couldn’t do anything; he felt almost useless. I pointed out that as a result of his accident, many people were galvanized toward acting together, as a community and found that in doing so, they had been surprised to discover unexpected personal benefits. So, when you send a note, please remind him of what he has done and continues to do, or influence in your life.
Henry has spent a lifetime in giving: his books are out there in the public domain, because that’s the way he sees his work: as a gift to others. Now in his time of need, he is reaping the benefits of what we call the law of attraction, the ‘Secret’ is this: Give and you shall receive.
If you would like to share a memory or insight of Henry's influence in your life, or if you have a photo of him from a class, please contact: dancleary@juno.com and put 'HENRY' in the subject line. Even a simple greeting card (no 'Get Well' cards please, send something funny. Henry is healing and laughter is the best medicine!) will help to bring a bit of sunshine.
We are accepting donations to assist in Henry's recovery. All funds we receive will go directly to Henry. Start the flow today, send whatever you can, either to: HELPING HANDS FOR HENRY c/o Dan Cleary, P.O. Box 14784, North Palm Beach, FL 33408, or directly to Henry Bolduc at: P.O. Box 88, Independence, VA 24348. (checks should be made to Joan Bolduc) You can also donate through Paypal on our Website: http://danclearyhypnosis.com/allstarsteam/henrybolduc.html In addition, we have some products available that have been donated to benefit Henry. The prices listed are suggestions: Email to be certain of availability, make an offer and then send the agreed amount through the DONATE button and we'll send it.
Please respect Henry's privacy and understand that individual responses to your cards and letters may not be possible so that Henry can focus his energy for healing. With this in mind, please take a moment now, to send Henry prayers or energy for healing.
Henry Bolduc will be presenting two programs at the NGH conference in Marlborough, MA, August 8-10. His topics are: HOLISTIC HYPNOSIS - Journey to the Higher Mind, (NGH #12111) and HYPNOSIS PAST-LIFE REGRESSION - A Guided Session, (NGH # 32106) If you are planning to attend the conference, sign up soon for his classes, I know they will fill early.
Pass this along to others you know who care.
Thank you all,
In peace,
Dan Cleary, for the Transformation-All-Stars Team
