1 year old I.S.
In 1983
I believe you will help me to push #IS fwd

48. I can hear ya, asking loudly :„SO, WHAT?“
„why all the noise around this simple blog ?“
Hear out what SCG-ers say:

49. WHY do you read Inspiring Shipments?
“it helps me to be better, to make my life different
and happier. It is a great thing you do. Ivana is the
greatest inspiration and her shipments are valuable,
open hearted…I love them.“
Lucia Bobovská
“Because it is about me
(every person who wants to
create WOW)”
Waqas Ali
“Because Ivana keeps the promise that is in the title –
inspires me. I come to this url to get inspired by open
heartness, happiness and full commitment.”
Marek Lutz

50. vanasendecka.com
#IS does not care about SEO or other traffic
boosters. SCG –ers Type url. Themselves! ;-)

51. #IS‟s style is not to praise own feathers
Therefore, let me delegate introduction of #IS
to those whose opinion matters the most: SCG

52. “How would you describe Inspiring Shipments to
someone, who is not part of Super Cool Gang?
“Super cool “I am telling people if
posts/shipments that you want to get
not only inspires me but inspiration to make any
gives me practical difference around you
examples of how to live. by following your
life with everyday common-sense heart with attaining the power to
and application of the virtues.” say yes to any difficulty, then you
Joseph Jambu must visit # IS”
Sidra Qasim
“#IS is a source of authentic happiness, inspiration and true
story of how full devotion to an idea can make your life
better. The stories and ideas shipped on this blog will change
your world view – if you are open to that.”
Marek Lutz

53. After such words #IS can walk proudly,
Because #IS walks its talk : it inspires and is
source of inspiration for its readers – SCG!

54. What does being part of SCG means to you?
“It feels like a mix of less alone with
a pixel more universal than before. It
also feels like “yes, you can!”
Sebastian Sastre
“I feel the connection to the people in the gang, as I probably share the
same interest and feelings when reading the blog as they do. I feel
happy to return the favor to Ivana in form of supporting her and
showing, that her work matters for me.”
Marek Lutz
Being part of SCG is awesome coz of the priceless but
free training/knowledge that I get from you:-) opening my
eyes to the e-world and giving me a sense of belonging to
this wonderful virtual family:-)”
Joseph Jambu

55. Heart of #IS magic is that SCG
FEEL ! And when we feel, we evolve and
evolution is change. See what SCG-ers changed

56. Did YOU take any action, which resulted in change of
your behavior, based on inspiration from #IS?
“Small actions were “You taught
reading books/watching me to control
movies from Ivana‟s my lizard
MUST list. Bigger action brain. I am
is for me, that I finally going ahead
got FINE with who I am and what I with spirit in charged by you.
do and how I do it. And that was Thanks. I Love you.”
thanks to readings on this blog.” Sidra Qasim
Marek Lutz
“I was inspired enough to follow in your footsteps and to
be able to start two blogs. SCG direction has been
pivotal in this entire process especially giving me
direction.” Joseph Jambu

57. Mind-blowing confessions, aren„t they?
Want to hear some more comments, about what
impact is #IS having ? Here they are:

58. Did YOU take any action, which resulted in change of
your behavior, based on inspiration from #IS?
“I‟ve added comments to our blogs to make them more fun
and connected in part because I‟ve saw how you use it to
connect yourself to your people. Hush hush, we‟re are
going to announce in a couple of days. It was hard to find
the time to implement those but we are convinced that
the power of connection will be worthy.”
Sebastian Sastre
“Started following myself, Learnt to DO IT
NOW! (started my business), Connected with great
people from SCG, Motivated friends to get here
and now many of them are here and positive.”
Waqas Ali

59. I have no further comments. SCG-ers said
it all and expressed that #IS matters.
I am speechless and grateful...

60. YOU made this one year possible
I„m so grateful to YOU for everything !

61. Please, allow me to dedicate last
words to my parents who are such
strong loving souls, supporting me
with all their love, even tough i can
see that they do worry a lot about
future of their „jobless“daughter ...

62. Mum, Dad I want you to know that
„I have faith &
drive to carry
on with shipping
& all i do,
because I want
to give you,
retirement you
so deserve....“

63. SCG, Thank YOU
for you!
