Gimpy’s Secret . . it’s what’s missing
The story behind the story:
The Power of Love
Decades ago, a maverick research scientist, began to study the ways that people get along with each other. He studied how we treat the people and things we love and how we treat those we don’t love.
He was stunned to discover that there are only 10 positive ways, not 9, not 11, only 10 positive ways to treat others, and for others to treat you.
He realized that this was a secret that never should have been a secret at all.
His research was recently published.
He was keenly aware that his work had the potential and power to help people live happier lives
Then lightning struck! After spending his whole life gathering information to help others he became too ill to continue. His work just sat there, helping no one at all. The more he considered the profound responsibility to share his work, the worse he got.
Now what? Would anyone ever get to use this information? Or, would it stay a secret?
How could his work reach the people? Who would do this?
The answer came.
“You, will do this!” “You are that somebody!”
Me? How could I do this?
I have never written a book; but I do have an imaginary character that I use in bedtime stories for my grandchildren and my husband ( otherwise he can’t go to sleep ).
The character is, Gimpy. A chicken with a bad leg and a great attitude! He is the perfect messenger!
Taking the important things from the scientific research, I put the secret into a story. It is easy to read and easy to remember.
It’s really all you need. It’s really all anyone needs regardless of age. It’s not just kid’s stuff.
This is the source of Gimpy’s Secret. It is more than just a story . . . it’s what’s missing!
Oh yes, the maverick scientist is my brother, Charles E. Hansen.
Elaine and Charles, back in the day!
