*Yes, Sarasota
County is the first county, as far as we
know,
anywhere in the World to totally eliminate
Violent Crime
for the day. Congratulations everyone!
Methodology:
In each
county where we had registered participants
Sheriff's Departments were requested to
provide "violent-crime-call" statistics for
these dates: Wed. 9/10/03, Thur. 9/11/03,
Fri. 9/12/03, Sat. 9/13/03, Fri. 9/10/04, &
Sat. 9/11/04.
Conclusions:
First we
wanted to see if there was a relationship
generated by a perceived emotional impact of
9/11. There is none. A random dispersal of
crime call statistics showed some up, some
down and others without change between
9/10/03 and 9/11/03. The same random
relationship exists between Friday and
Saturday as illustrated by the figures we
obtained for 9/12/03 and 9/13/03.
The only dominant relationship was a
decrease in violent crime calls on Saturday
9/11/04, when compared to Saturday 9/13/03.
The intention of
"Hello, From My Heart"
Day is proven. We can create a happier,
healthier, and more peaceful planet.

2005 RESULTS
2005 was a year of expansion
as registrations came in from 40 of the United
States and 30 Nations worldwide. Most notable
results came from Cinncinatti, Ohio where
violent crime was down by 57%. Cinncinatti is
listed as one of America's ten most violent
cities. These efforts were led by Barbara
Dixon.
For results in your county
you are invited to call your local Sheriff's
Department and ask for the violent crime call
statistics for Sun. 9/11/05 and Sun. 9/12/04.
The difference is then divided by the '04 number
which then shows the percentage increase or
decrease. If you'd like any further info please
call or email
Gary@HelloFromMyHeart.com and type "Hello,
From My Heart" in the subject.
