Motivational Speakers

Does positive attitude mean anything? It sure does. We are Michael and Cheri Blood! We are so glad to be here. It's your family, the kids, the house, aging parents, the bills, and all the adventures of life! That's the normal---then the unthinkable happens.

Edina Police officer Michael was 29 days from retirement, a 9-1-1 call comes in November 16th,2000. Bank robbery in progress. He responds, and was critically wounded by gunfire by the bank robber. He was left for dead. Many long months of pain and hospitalization followed--yet so much positive energy.

Cheri was diagnosed with breast cancer five months after the shooting, and had surgery! Five years later, December of 2005, she fell and broke her leg! Ugh! We love to share our story of this most incredible time, and how we got through it all facing all the challenges!

We are true Midwesterners, growing up in Minnesota, married for 35 years, raised two children and thought we had seen it all... but no... .there is so much energy out there to see and feel. Enjoy the gift of life! Learn to reach out to others, change your perspective on life and everything around you, positive begets more positive. We work together (like Burns and Allen) or on our own sharing our story of faith, family and friends! Let us have fun with inspiration and a walk with faith!
