It’s a glorious Memorial Day in Miami Beach. Unfortunately, I am
cleaning my old office so I can officially be hunkered down in my
new home office. After spending 10 hours sweating through the job,
(my air has been transferred elsewhere) I just have about 3 more
hours and the job will be done. But it has to wait until next
weekend before I get to it again.

Had another great GKIC meeting and then on Thursday did a program
for the alumni of Nova Southeastern University (where I received
my Doctorate in 1982) on “How to Get to the Top and Stay There.”
It was very well received and I had over 20 questions from the
group. The best thing is that a few people want to have me
speak to their group.

Saturday night I went to dinner with two couples. One is someone
I went to college with 50 years ago and the other is someone that
her husband had gone to high school with and who he hadn’t seen
in 53 years. What a reunion! Amazing how long time friends

It has been an absolutely fabulous week in San Diego. I do love the people here and all the activities that go along with them. Plus the weather has been terrific and perfect to my new body temp.

I went to a program for MPI (Meeting Professionals International) here and it was on networking. The speaker did a completely unique presentation on networking and the MPI’ers were all very welcoming. It was held at the new Hilton on the Bay, a magnificent vertically built hotel.

On Thursday, I attended a Women’s Business Conference which was also lovely. Many exhibits, 2 keynoters, and two round tables. All of the women were incredibly open and sharing. Although I didn’t learn anything new, it reminded me of some of the basics. You know when you’ve been in business as long as I have, sometimes you start skipping a few steps, and today it’s important to make sure you’re paying attention to every little detail.

Then on Friday I had lunch with two friends. One who I get together with every time I come because she is so intuitive and the other someone I’ve known since he was 20 years…

I hope you all had an absolutely terrific Mother’s Day Mine couldn’t have been better. My daughter and granddaughter came over with my great-grandson and made me breakfast. They gave me a wonderful cat statue that is on my desk with my other Siamese cat statues. (As a matter of fact, as I write this, my real Siamese is sitting on my desk as well). Then my son took me out for dinner. We didn’t do it as a group this year as my granddaughter was moving into a new living space as she starts school again today and this was the day she had to move! And she had straight A’s last semester so all is good.

Sitting in my new office in my home as I write this, but still have a full office to clean up after I get my drain out. Yes, it’s still in, but I’ve started working out at home and it feels great. Believe it or not, I’ve lost 13 pounds even with all this mess going on. Just have 5 more to go and I will be thrilled.

Started my spiritual coaching and am probably not the easiest student,…

I am one day late because I thought I would have good news for you, but I went to the doctor this morning and I still have to keep my drain in. It will be another week before it comes out. While it hasn’t stopped me from doing anything (I even got on the treadmill yesterday), it is inconvenient and uncomfortable. And I haven’t figured out how to put the drain in my workout clothes so I will probably not go to the gym and just work out at home.

Had my first video skype media interview last week, and although I had never done anything like that before, it went off without a hitch. We had to reboot once, but I did it and it went very well. Now I know I can do anything online like that without worry.

Then on to Chicago for the GKIC super conference. Had my pic taken with Kathy Ireland who is amazing. But she is so tall that even when she bent over, it looked like Mutt and Jeff. Oh well, that’s why they say “Great things come in small packages.” Lots of information given and absorbed, many new…
