Hello friends!
I'm back! Perhaps you've noticed that I haven't written a newsletter in a very long time. That's because I've been going through some big life changes.
In 2016 alone, I traveled to five countries including Hong Kong, Philippines, Swaziland, South Africa and China. Additionally, I moved four (yes, four) times and purchased and renovated an historic, 1920 cottage in the charming town of
Mount Dora, Florida.
On top of all that, I got a divorce after being married for 17 years.
Needless to say, I didn't have much time or energy to work on building my business. However, I did something I've never done before. I spent an entire year focusing on myself.
When life throws us unexpected (and sometimes devastating) curve balls, we need to practice "self-care." I got monthly massages, joined a gym, hired a personal trainer, started meditating and reading spiritual books. I cultivated new relationships and reconnected with friends and family.

Last year, I took the advice of a girlfriend and reluctantly joined a dating site. (Let me tell you, dating is not what it was 20 years ago!) After kissing a few toads, I was surprised to finally meet "Mr. Wonderful." I've always been told that love will happen when you least expect it. In my case, that was true.
Wow, it's amazing how life can completely change in two years! I'm happier now than I've been in years.
Did you know that you don't learn the hard lessons when you're going through joyful times? It's only when you go through challenges that you build character, become stronger and more resilient.
After going through a dark and uncertain period, I have become a more grateful person. I'm a more confident consultant and trainer and
I'm happy to say that last year was one of my most profitable years in business.
My head was clear, my heart was full, and I was completely open to whatever the universe had in store for me. I have gained many new clients now that I'm closer to the Orlando market and I have even re-launched my
"Train To Become an Etiquette Consultant"
course and helped many men and women start their own business.
I'm hopeful this year will be even more exciting.
If you're going through life changes or transitions, I want to help you overcome those challenges and get you back on track. If I can do it, I know you can too. But you can't do it alone.

If you're tired of being tired, I invite you to join me for a free group coaching session. This live, one-hour "pep" call is for anyone who wants to experience more joy in their lives. I want to teach you how to make the transition from drab to fab and create a business and life you love.
I'll be sharing wisdom and stories from my own life. You'll be able to ask questions, receive feedback, and get inspired to be the best YOU that you can be.
Please join me on Thursday, February 22nd at 3:00 p.m. EST / 12:00 p.m. PST. Please send me an email and reserve your seat today.
If you decide not to register for the call, I'd like to hear from you anyway. I want to read your stories and know how you've overcome the challenges in your life. I want to cheer you on, learn from your experience, and provide encouragement, even if we don't know each other personally.
Yes, you're going to hear from me a lot more this year. I promise. If you know someone who needs some inspiration, please forward this newsletter to them. In the meantime, I want to wish you...
Good health, happiness and brilliant beginnings,
