Life is a riot..if you're open to the humor and abundance, everyday is a new adventure. Had the great fortune of meeting Freehold Rotary President Jack Marin, CPA who graciously asked me to come and speak to his club in the new year about Passion & Possibilities...Not only did I get to meet more "Service Above Self" pals in the Rotary bond, but i also got to raise awareness for Leiomyosarcoma and rare cancers. The winning proposition didnt end there. I got to chat it up with several members about what they're passionate about this year and how i might help them. I got to honor my supersurgeons,(yes! he had operated on more than one of us in the room!) and was generously blogged about by co-chick athlete, Elyse from www.healthywomen.org. Even picked up several more speaking gigs to empower others in business, wellness and life. Win/Win/Win w the rockin Rotarians! I hope they agreed that "Passion is Always in Fashion." The pleasure was all mine.

 

Who knew?! Been busy keeping health, wellness and advocacy balls in the air for three years while maintaining business, family and life committments...how do we do it all?

Friends have been telling me for three years after a Leiomyosarcoma life saving surgery that I needed to go deeper. "Deeper?" but what if I drown first from all these irons in the fire that i'm equally passionate about? So I tersely post speaking gigs, event info, & award deets that might empower you. Who cares about all the details? Well, apparently many.. which is what blogging is supposed to be all about. Gee, i guess that's why I dig Twitter. Brevity is the soul of wit, no?

Bottom line. Give value. Don't be boring.  Life has never been boring but if the last three years get more daring, I may throw myself under a bus! So here's the daring challenge for a new year. No resolutions. Just a dare to be a better blogger. Still sharing, caring but now daring to go deeper in hopes of helping you..in life, business, fitness, or adversity. In the meantime, i'll stay away from bus stops:). Speaking to business leaders tomorrow on "Passion Being in Fashion"...better blogging up next!

Support rare cancer research at Sloan-Kettering with pal and co-sarcoma survivor, Jen Linn. Our stories are featured at the event website. Big Cycling day, Big Energy, Big Results for rare cancer research. Thanks Jen & Dave!

I will be speaking at the Freehold Rotary Club 1-19-2010 Topic entitled "<strong>Passion is Always in Fashion</strong>" on anything is possible themes.

Ringing in the New Year with numerous speaking gigs..so far booking to present to Female Executives for O'Meara Financial Planning in Red Bank, leading a Women's Wellness Retreat at Deerfield Spa in PA and sharing How to Work a Room fundamentals at Monmouth University. In the meantime, consulting with insurance clients and contemplating a temporary jaunt to Little Rock, AK...stay tuned for the wild ride!

I will be judging National American Miss Pageant to support the development of talented young women in 2010. Another opportunity to raise awareness for LMS as a survivor and pageant winner platforming for sarcoma cancers.
