Thank you MORE!

"And to think, if I hadn't picked up the April issue I might have missed this!" Our stories all seemed to have this common thread. With apologies to Julius, we saw, we read, we responded. Most of us not totally sure why, just that we felt compelled to do it.

So thanks to you, Lesley Jane Seymour and everyone at MORE and CARE. Thank you for making this possible and writing the letter that got us all here! See, we really do read every one of your carefully crafted words!

I met so many amazing women tonight that I can hardly think about sleep! And this is just the start. LOL Everyone of them has their own very unique story. Many are exploring new options. Some are shifting gears and careers. In fact, re-invention was the byword of the evening.

And bravo! Re-invention seems to be a specialty of women, but more on that later. For now, let me sit back, settle in and savor the new connections we've made tonight. Because 6:45 will be here before I know it, and I don't want to miss a thing!!!!
