Friends - since the conclusion of my campaign, one of the questions I've been asked the most is, "What's next for you and Susan?" The answer to this question is longer than a single post or conversation. We have so many journeys to embark on, and we'd love to bring you along for the ride.
To that end, we're starting an email newsletter to share what's next for us. We'll send out emails 2-3 times per month focused on writing, coaching, and growth. We'll also be sharing links to interesting articles, books we're reading, and more.
This newsletter will largely replace posts here on my Facebook Author Page, though we will share infrequent updates here as well. If you like keeping in touch with us online, you'll love the newsletter even more.
So here's to next steps and new beginnings! We'd love for you to join in - subscribe to the newsletter using the link below. The first one is scheduled to land in early December.
A change is in the air: Our final word. It’s been a few sobering “days-after” the election since Tuesday, November 8th and I wanted to write to you; to all those that supported me.
(Before I did that I needed to catch my breath. I was exhausted.)
A few days of good rest worked wonders. I’m headed back to my business coaching and beginning my next book - the final in my trilogy on historical science fiction time travel!
Thank you for everything you did for Susan and me in this 2022 race. It’s very humbling.
Those who financially gave received nothing in return from donating to our State Senate race - not even a tax donation! Ha. And yet your giving was extraordinary.
Thank you so much, my friends.
The race was run well, the team of Colin Mansfield, Susan Mansfield and David Ripley was exceptional and the results were, at ALL times, left up to the Lord.
What we planned for was a strong Red Wave. What we actually saw nationally (and locally) was a pale Red Ripple. It was disappointing to us all.
And still, we all worked so diligently. When the final results were “in”, my campaign team and I KNEW we’d left nothing on the table. We gave it our all.
Thank you for being Susan’s and my FB Friend and for supporting us in this election. This will be our last post on this FB page. The page will soon be taken down, along with my campaign page.
I believe that America is great because most Americans are good - from the center of who we are.
Be encouraged for the long term future - even into eternity - because the Lord knows what He’s doing.
And He doesn’t make mistakes. The best is yet to be.
Big News: I’ll keep you updated on what Susan and I are up to, as the year unfolds, that is, if you desire to stay in contact with me, please see below. Otherwise, this is our final farewell as the FB Page is soon shuttered and the campaign comes to its official end.
Throughout 2022 it’s really been a thrill connecting with you.
Please email me at Me@DennisMansfield.com if you desire to receive regular personal email updates. My plan is that as I shut down my FB Page, I’ll be communicating more regularly via email. It’s more direct and less dependent on an undependable platform.
One of the greatest joys of our lives has been to help families in Idaho who have arrived here from other lands. Susan helped a young boy named Jackie, whose family arrived as political refugees from Haiti in the early 90’s. She home-schooled him and he became a member of our family along with his folks. Now he is a 38-year-old businessman in Meridian.
Lupe Corona grew up in Tecoman, Mexico. He is a hard working “green card” holder who we’d know in S. Cal. He moved to Idaho and started his own landscape company in the mid 90’s. After working hard in Idaho for many years he eventually retired and returned to Mexico to be with his full family. It was an honor to see him work, pay taxes and help so many families.
A few years back I had the honor of using my 35 years as a soccer coach to help put together a soccer team of refugees from Africa. It was a terrific time of reaching out with my coaching skills to help encourage individuals excel with their “football” skills. The team is now in its next season. It’s name is “Bowazee” - named after the city they moved to in Idaho.
We decided to open our home to foreign students a few years ago. For two separate years we had Shuann and Jo-Jo live with us and learn about the US. This desire to serve remains with Susan and me - each and every day.
We believe that putting solid teams together is vital to our community. Like soccer, the State Senate race is an opportunity to help families throughout Idaho - and “coach them up”.
We will continue to do so. Because it’s part of our lives. ... See MoreSee Less
