An
I.R.P. 2004 Success Story
Dear Harlan,
I'm writing in regards to your International Rejection Project.
I wanted to let you know that I took your advice to heart and
called up an old friend from high school. I had heard his mom
passed away and thought he could maybe use a friend. I had no
ulterior motive other than being a friend. We talked and planned
to get together. He had to leave town, and our plans were put
on hold. To my surprise, around a week or so later he called me
to say hello and to let me know that he was OK. That's when I
somehow got the nerve to blurt out: "I don't know how you will
feel about what I'm going to say, but here it goes. This past
week, I couldn't stop thinking about you and can't wait until
you come home!" To my utter surprise, he responded with "I have
butterflies and perm-grin!" So the moral of my story is: If I
wouldn't have followed the steps to I.R.P., I wouldn't have married
my husband this past May! It works; take a chance!
I.R.P.
Survivor
Dear
Survivor,
Your letter has also given me a case of perm-grin (a permanent
grin, from ear to ear). You made my night, week and year. I'm
so happy that I could help you take the risk and find love.
As
for anyone else interested in participating in the I.R.P., the
project is open all year long. You can find more information on
my Web site or possibly in
your local newspaper's online archives. And anyone with I.R.P.
stories from the trenches is invited to please send in an update!
