Had a wonderful time at the Coral Springs Chamber of Commerce
Professional Women’s Alliance. What a powerful and dynamic
group of fabulous women (and men too!). Very warm and receiving.
I still believe women are a powerful force in this world and
can make a tremendous difference in everything they do.
Went to my networking group of business people and of course
you know what was on the plate. Economy, shrinking membership,
what should we do mentality. But everyone is facing it and we
all have to pull together and figure it out. These are all good
people who are trying to make it better for their peers and of
course our leaders in D.C. aren’t making it any easier.
Then had dinner with a good friend who is still in demand even
though she’s older than I am and of course that gets me inspired,
motivated and turned on all over again. Her brain is functioning
at the highest level and she never stops.
Met with another friend the next day for lunch and she is doing
great things…

The beginning of the eighth month already. My how time flies when you’re
having fun!
I spent 4 days in Philly, 3 of them taking Steve Harrison’s Publicity
Workshop. Very interesting and informative. Although I do have to say
I knew a lot of what he suggested, it is always great to rediscover things
you’ve stopped doing and to re-evaluate how it’s working. Most of all
for me, I got some key phrases to use and some new techniques. Met my
buddy Bryan Todor for lunch and had a great conversation and discussion.
Steve was very generous in all his teachings and what he gave us. He
won a lot of fans.
My sweet Abby went into some type of seizures while I was there and my
son had her at the vets three times. She is now on medication twice
a day and seems to be doing well. So now she is taking joint medication,
throat medication and her seizure meds. Oh my, see what we do for our
loved ones!
I did an interview for a teleseminar series. It…

Spent this past few days at the FSAE conference. That’s the Florida
Society of Association Executives. I have been a member forever, and
haven’t attended a conference for a while, but it was in Miami so I
really couldn’t say no. Knew some of the speakers (from NSA–National
Speakers Association), and enjoyed the programs. Plus I made some new
friends, I wore my red boa and my purple boa because they said we
should wear feathers one night and boy, did I! Of course, the red bled
all over my jewelry, my hair, and onto my towels. sheets and pillowcases.
Now they’re back in storage for another 20 years!
We hit the Fontainebleau, the Doral, the Hyatt Regency, the Lucky Strike
Lanes and everyone put on a huge spread for us. It was Miami and Miami
Beach at its best.
Off to Philadephia this week. Going to see some old friends and I’m sure
make new ones there as well.
One of the things that I am finding is much more clarity and vision as to
who and what I’m about and I get more…

Came back from the EWomen Conference in Dallas only to be waylaid
on the tarmac for 1 1/2 hours because of an electrical storm. My
poor daughter rode around in circles for an hour (because she doesn’t
have a cell phone) not knowing what happened to me. She finally
headed home and called me really upset. However, I could understand
her frustration, just not borrowing someone else’s phone to call
and find out what was happening. Anyway, I took a taxi home and
all the animals were pleased to see me.
The conference was great and I made many new friends, saw some
interesting programs and made a sizable investment in myself. I
always believe you can learn something new, so I am at it again.
Pretty soon you will discover all the new adventures I have for
you.
Still sore and black and blue from the surgery, but continued to
work out this morning and preparing for my echo tomorrow. I am
now getting them done yearly and will go through a colonoscopy
in another week. You know I believe in prevention, so…

Don’t have as much news this week as my surgery was on Thursday and
I just had my bandages removed this morning. He says I look great
(I look like a lobster on one side!) and that I will have to do another
4 or 5 procedures just to get more skin on my chest. I am sore, sore,
sore but will be back at the gym tomorrow morning.
I went to a Classical Guitar concert at the Bass Museum yesterday
(bandages and all) and it was fantastic! Met some great people there
and formed a new friendship with a lovely woman who is going to spend
the rest of the summer in France. We will reconnect in October.
Did a radio show today that will air on Blog Talk Radio on Tuesday
July 19 at 8 p.m. EST. Why don’t you tune in if you can?
Met with my new marketing team, had a spiritual coaching session and
worked with another coach this past week. They are all so talented
and such wonderful people.
See you next week.

As I write this, it’s the 4th of July and a day which we should all
appreciate as our day of independence. And as you all know I believe
we should all be independent, so celebrate yourself as well.
It is also a weekend with an extra day attached and you know I take
that as a time to do some extra fun stuff and also catching up on
opening all those boxes I have packed away. So Saturday I spent
seeing a wonderful stage show “Song Man Dance Man” a one man show
that was out of this world. All the people I was familiar with and
all the songs I love.
Then Sunday I went to see “Bad Teacher” which was a hoot. While I
stare at Cameron Diaz admiring her beautiful face and body, I also
am laughing my head off. Today, I saw “Larry Crown” and of course
appreciate the chemistry and artistry of Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks.
I think Tom Hanks is one Hollywood star where no one has said a
negative thing. And the subject is so…

End of June already–imagine!! It is hot-hot-hot. Had a barbeque at my
granddaughter’s new apartment. It’s tiny, but it is hers, and she loves
it. She and my great grandson share one room but there’s a sheet between
them so he can sleep and she can do her homework etc. Thank goodness she
has air conditioning inside. Do you know I have never used the a.c. in
San Diego? A whole different kind of temperature.
Did my first live streaming webinar in person and spotted myself on the
replay. Amazing what you look like when you don’t know anyone is watching.
Pamela Bruner was the presenter and she did a fantastic job. Wanted to
take advantage of her program that she’s doing here, but will be at a
convention instead.
Went to my my first meeting of the S. Fla ASTD (American Society of Training
and Development) in probably 10 years. I used to be Prez way back when and
there was only one person I recognized. Great program on diversity and
interestingly, the guy I walked in with was from Holland,MI, my…

I went to the movies yesterday and saw “Bridesmaids” and was very
pleasantly surprised. I thought it wwould be the typical “chick
flick: that I enjoy so much, but this was hilarious. I couldn’t
stop laughing, although there were some good points about being
down on yourself and how important self-esteem is for you. No
matter how talented you are, when you question your decisions and
let other people get into your head, you suffer.
Then I went over to “V” which is a high end adult living community
in Aventura. My friend who is legally blind and doesn’t drive of
course, has moved there. It is really spectacular and she and I
went out for dinner.Then I went up to her apartment and got a
tour of the facilities. What a view she has, and it is gorgeous
but also very expensive. Now we know why we have to make the
money!!
Went to another TCI meeting and that’s where we were given some
financial advice not only for out time here, but also when we
depart so that our families are protected.…

Here it is a wonderful day in San Diego. I spent the weekend at a weekend seminar with Lisa Sasevich and boy, what a time! Met a lot of new people, got more clarity, made new friends, and saw transformation in the process. I am so fortunate that at this point in my life, I continue to learn, continue to get excited, and continue to grow. That’s what keeps me young in spirit and attitude.
Then on Sunday, Abby and I went to Balboa Park for the organ concert and we both enjoyed it very much. She met another cute Yorkie there, and they got along great. The events in the park are fantastic and continue to thrill visitors. More places should offer all the events they do.
I’ve gotten to the gym only once since I’m here (shame on me) but will be there every day from now on. The classes are so packed here that it’s sometimes hard to find a space. But I enjoy all the sweat so you know I will be there.
Spoke to another friend of mine today (Wayne Pickering) because it’s his birthday. We’ve been friends forever and consider ourselves…

I deserve congratulations! After another 10 hours, I am finally out of
my old office and into my home office. I was dripping wet because there
was no air conditioning in the old one, and I must have made 100 trips
up and down stairs. Abby made the first 25 with me and then got tired
and just looked as I was doing my work. But yea, I am done.
I did a wonderful teleseminar last week with January Jones, and also had
a great networking lunch with my Profit group. Also had two lunch
meetings and had two personal coaching sessions. Yes, this professional
coach has two coaches herself. I am always trying to learn and improve,
and love discovering new facts about myself.
Had two personal training sessions at the gym and boy, was I getting
pushed. I grunted just the way the wrestlers do on TV. But he told me
I would never get better unless I really pushed myself because I am so
used to exercising. So here I am at my ripe old age, doing unbelievable
things!
I also had…
