On My Mind – Celebrating!

See those fireworks?  I had to set them off because I’m celebrating.

First of all, I’m celebrating TODAY – February 2nd. No, not because it’s Groundhog’s Day, although it’s nothing wrong with celebrating that if you’re so inclined.  Groundhogs are kinda cute and I loved that silly movie with Bill Murray.

The first thing I’m celebrating is my anniversary!  Seventeen years ago today, Bob and I took the plunge and got married.  We were both long-time singles and pretty set in our ways.  No…incredibly set in our ways.

We had a tiny, tiny wedding (just the two of us with a Unitarian minister.)  We had a lovely dinner at Raphael’s in Little Italy, and took off the next morning for two glorious weeks in St. Lucia.  The day we left, a huge storm hit the east coast closing down airports from D.C. north.  But, we made it out before the storm blew through Baltimore and only heard about it from someone at the front desk of the fabulous Anse Chastanet, the paradise we played at while everybody at home was sliding on ice and shoveling sidewalks.

Wow…seventeen years ago, and we’re still here!  Lots of challenges along the way, lots of growing up, and lots of love, too.  I believe that’s what pulled us through it all.

I’m also celebrating another anniversary of something I love…and, that’s WomanTalk Live.  This week marks the end of the fifth year of the program.  260 radio shows – talking to wonderful, interesting people about a variety of topics.  People I would have never met or been enlightened by – and, being able to share those guests, stories and their wisdom with you.

WomanTalk Live has also been incredibly fortunate to pull together a team of experts who provide on-target, valuable advice every week in the newsletter and when they join me on the show – advice that can make a real difference in your life or the life of someone you care about.  And, along with those experts, there’s a great collection of sponsors and advertisers who are the very best at what they do.  I sing their praises!

WomanTalk Live has evolved from “woman stuff” in the very beginning back in 2007 to “conscious conversations about topics that matter most to women, and the men who care about them.” And, I look forward to continued growing and evolving. Stay tuned for the Conscious Conversations Cafe lecture series we will roll out later this year.

And, last but not least, I am so very grateful to you for making the past five years uber-fabulous.  The best.  The most fun.  I am grateful for your support, encouragement and kind words along the way.  You really do rock.

In fact, I look forward to this coming year – this year of the Dragon -  as it brings more good blessings for all of us.  Yes. 

Happy Groundhog’s Day!
