Yes, I definitely needed that.
Between the Elite Travel scam at the start of this year, and the DEA scam in May, I've been second-guessing myself and my financial decisions.
Lately, I've been going through my filing cabinet, clearing out old papers and analyzing my credit cards, and that's been a dismaying eye-opener, too.
Yes, a boost was definitely needed.
And there he was on my front porch, knocking on this Friday afternoon, a young man wanting to speak with me about my insurance needs.
Carter Propes had just moved to Savannah from Atlanta and was responding to a postcard I had sent in about "free burial costs available to Georgia residents".
Mind you, that was at least three years ago.
In fact, a predecessor at his company - North American Senior Benefits" - had already responded to that card, back in the middle of 2019.
That came to light as I allowed the young man before me today to go through his spiel, both of us masked, both of us outside in the slightly steamy heat, both of us still mindful of the pandemic that would not be ending anytime soon.
No bother, it was good practice for him and nice company for me.
As we spoke, I recognized the logo on his shirt, at last.
I knew of this company!
The word that had triggered the realization was 'broker', when he was describing what he was and that he did not represent any insurance company, but, rather helped to make sure folks had a policy that was best for their time in life and their family's needs.
Oh, yes, I had definitely heard all this before!
Right place, right time!
So, as I said, I allowed Carter to continue, then I allowed him to check on my policy with Mutual of Omaha, the policy that Joe Caracci had sold to me two years ago.
And you know what?
Those had been very good decisions.
I'm talking about my choice to buy that policy back in 2019 as well as my choice this afternoon to listen to this young man's pitch.
I had chosen well.
What a relief!
i thank You, God.
Now, I have a real, live, in-person, theatre performance to get ready for this evening.
Hallelujah!
Hopefully, I'll be sharing company with some folks I know there.
That would be especially nice!
(smile!)
