June 26, 2008, Vol. 6 Issue 10 Dear Friends, You may have heard it – “stay-cation” – this summer’s term for vacation. There’s no escaping the rising price of fuel, the hassles of airline travel, and generally rising prices of everything, which are forcing us to change our habits. In the meeting business, I’ve noticed… read more
June 12, 2008, Vol. 6 Issue 9 I like Linda Ellerbee’s attitude. She went on a 200-mile hike to celebrate her 60th birthday. I like her attitude for a lot of other reasons, as did the foundation luncheon audience where I heard her speak in May, but the hiking resonates with me. I’m drooling to… read more
May 29, 2008, Vol. 6 Issue 8 Dear Friends, I’m on the mend. It’s been six weeks since I got my new knee – an upgrade we’re calling it. I like that term better than replacement. The experience, from the surgery and hospital stay, to my early graduation from the walker to cane to walking,… read more
April 3, 2008, Vol. 6 Issue 7 Dear Friends, Well, it’s almost here. Monday morning, April 7, thanks to modern science, I get my first bionic part – a new knee. This is my first-ever surgery so I, of course, have some apprehension. Thanks to a little help from my special friends in the healthcare… read more
Mar. 20, 2008, Vol. 6 Issue 6 On Monday morning this week, I woke up as a Queen. Did I marry a King over the weekend? No, I took the Queen course. Actually, the official course title is “Celebrating Women: Regarding Ecstasy and Power,” and it’s put on by PAX, the company that taught me… read more
Mar 6, 2008, Vol. 6 Issue 5 It’s been long winter, eh? Many of you have been inundated by unusually heavy snow and bitter cold. It always feels a little indulgent to talk about the early spring flowers we get to enjoy here in the Northwest, yet I like to share the joy and give… read more
Feb. 21, 2008, Vol. 6 Issue 4 Dear Friends, I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “Bless her heart.” While the nuance may vary from conciliatory to sympathetic, it is undoubtedly said with a Southern cadence. It’s one of the things that Southern women know how to do well. I was recently introduced to Ronda Rich,… read more
Feb. 7, 2008, Vol. 6 Issue 3 Dear Friends, Hearts are in the limelight this month – both romantic Valentines and our body’s hearts that pump our blood. We’re all being exposed to lots of advertising for chocolate and wine and . . . dining out. One of the biggest challenges when it comes to… read more
Jan. 24, 2008, Vol. 6 Issue 2 Dear Friends, Since my last issue, I made a trip to the bookstore and I didn’t have to look far to find that the diet book industry is alive and well and thriving. I was greeted right inside the door with a tiered table overflowing with books enticing… read more
Jan. 10, 2008, Vol. 6 Issue 1 Dear Friends, As I was thinking about topics for this new year, I realized that (surprise!), none of my speaker-authors are debuting new books this January.
