I WROTE A SONG!

"Don't Say Goodbye,
Say I Love You"


I wrote this song at the ripe ole age of 82. Sharing this song with the world is like Christmas every day! My hope is that you learn to say I love you to the people who matter in your life, while they are still around. Don't regret missing the opportunity after they are gone and you've said goodbye to them.

TESTIMONIALS

Hi Jim,
      Occasionally, I recall the assembly that you spoke at during my freshman or sophomore year (1986 or 1987). More than 35 years later, I am still amazed by the reaction you received by the students that day. You are a very powerful speaker with a special ability to connect. I googled your name today and saw your website. I am very pleased, but not surprised that you are still making a large impact on peoples lives.
      Just wanted to let you know that many years later; your message is still in mind; and perhaps, I need to keep it at the top of my mind more often. Wish you the best,
      --Bill

My friend Jimmy Tuman is a real inspiration. He is true to his word and exemplifies what he encourages and lives to serve us all. His life experiences are incredible and have helped to shape his view of the world and his vision of what it could be. Please invest your time into exploring some of his content and thoroughly considering how his teachings can improve your life and those around you.
      I have only known Jim for a handful of years, but I feel like our friendship goes much deeper than that. I always know it's him on the phone when I pick up and am greeted by "Hey buddy..." His honesty and compassion are apparent no matter what the topic is, because he cares. He speaks with so many people every day, and still makes a point to follow-up on my personal concerns. He makes it a priority to ask about my family and things that are important to me. Jim has a wonderful way of making you feel special. If you listen, not only hear, but LISTEN to his message; you will learn how great it is to be that person for people in your life.
      He is celebrated by numerous organizations, including congressional awards and countless school systems. More importantly, he is celebrated by those who have met him personally. He makes you feel so special and so valuable. It makes a person feel even better when it's possible to elicit those emotions in people around you. We need to spread kindness through our communities and do what we can to improve our piece of this world. Jim's impact is seen through his non-profit (Jimmy's Kids), the inspirational messages in his motivational speeches, his books, his podcasts, and his actions. I am honored to call him my friend and view him as a mentor that anyone could learn from. I am excited to share more about my experiences with his concepts and successes I've encountered.

ABC-7 History & Mission for Jimmy's Kids







After speaking to over two million young people in more than 2000 schools, I have coined the phrase "Safe, Valued & Loved" for the mission of schools and parents. In our culture today, it is just not happening. What would you give as a parent, educator or great friend for ideas to help your son, daughter or others feel this way, both physically and emotionally "Safe, Valued & Loved"?
