What is the difference between 1.5 and 2 ? During our two hour conversation last Saturday afternoon I laid out my plan to Tiff about just how the story would play out. Part 1 would be what we call a Long Lead in. I would be creating a trail 👣 that would lead into her but all that it would do in regards to her is there would be one photo 📷 of her and her Father 👨.
We then discussed how we would go about telling her story. When one person tries to tell another’s Story, in my World 🌎 its something that should be done together. WE, meaning her and I will put out Part 2 once she has signed off on it.
There’s a major difference between trying to tell a story versus trying to sell a story. Our goal is to tell the best version of this amazing young ladies story, not the hot take or the ” headline grabbing” version.
When you work for yourself and have no pressure to produce revenue it makes everything less complicated. One great example in regards to Tiff’s story is her time with the United States 🇺🇸 Secret Service.
Yes, its a part of her story but it doesn’t need to be the overriding thing in the story. We are not concerned with whether or not she’s ever seen the Launch Codes or what secret missions or assignments she has been on.
The first word in Secret Service happens to be Secret. Anyone who made it into what I consider to be one of the most Top Shelf groups in the World 🌎 has my love, appreciation and respect.
Part 2 will be me telling her story, in conjunction with her and her Father.
Part 3 will be focusing on her story through her eyes 👀.
Part 4 will be opened up to others that played a role in her life. We will let her create a list of everyone she thinks should be a part of the conversation. Once we have her list I will reach out to everyone on the list and work with him or her to gather their thoughts.
Today is Day four of Tiff’s latest stint in Duke University Hospital 🏥.
Every morning I wake up I read the Facebook update from her family 👪 and while I continue to pray 🙏 for her, the first request from her was to not make the story about her being in the Hospital again.
Three months ago I had never heard the name Tiff Moore. I spend a great deal of time trying hard to learn more about the history of Carroll County so when Coach Rick Nester called me one evening to tell me about this amazing young lady 👩 I was thinking sign me up.
In a five minute phone call Nester told enough of the highlights about Tiffany’s story that it had me waiting for the next line. Fast Forward to the night 🌙 of the Hall of Fame ceremony when a well spoken gentleman was tasked with trying to summarize her life with the equivalent of an index card. Her portion of the ceremony was done with a great deal of Class but it just made me want to meet her in person.
People tell you that its not always Good to Meet your heroes because they might disappoint you. Sitting in their livingroom had the opposite on me, my appreciation continued to grow for the relationship with Tiff and Tracy.
Part 2 will be titled – Growing Up in Dugspur and we will work on it together once Tiff is strong enough 💪for us to send notes 📝 back and forth. So until then, I will continue researching Dugspur and praying 🙏 for one very determined young Lady.
For the email 📧 subscribers, you all receive a version of the story before I send it out. On this story my spell check changed four things that I didn’t catch. They have now been fixed so I encourage each of you to take the time to read it on the site.
ps – Thank You 🙏 all for caring ❤ enough to get the behind the scenes look. 💘
