Dear $firstname:
JOY to you! I felt like I haven’t been keeping in touch with you as much as I’d like. I’m so sorry!! Hope you’ll understand why after reading my update. By the way, do you know you can keep in touch with me on Facebook? I’m more diligent posting my updates there. Connect to my Facebook Author Page here.
May was such a busy and AMAZING month for me. For the first time ever, I went away for a women’s retreat on Mother’s Day weekend (yup, by myself). It was actually my hubby’s unusual Mother’s Day gift for me. Yoga, walks by the lake, meditation at the labyrinth, spiritual drawing workshop, Reiki, and African drumming by the campfire. I loved my time away, and came home in time for Mother’s Day dinner with my family!
The following weekend, I was the guest lecturer at the New Age Health Spa in Neversink, NY (don’t you just LOVE the name of the town?!!) I gave two lectures: “Intensive Care for the Nurturer’s Soul” and “The Venus Evolution”. Again, an absolutely delicious, soul-nurturing weekend in nature. Totally UNPLUGGED (no Internet or cell signal up there). I especially loved quiet time in the yoga center, meditating in front of a MAGNIFICENT, GORGEOUS golden sitting Buddha. And, of course, having the hot tub all to myself, overlooking the field through glass walls was heavenly too! Oh, I LOVE opportunities to combine work and fun like this!!!
Wish you were there too? Guess what? You can JOIN ME in September (9/23-9/25) as I will be the featured lecturer at the New Age Health Spa again. Please mark your calendar and stay tuned for more details.
After the spa lectures, I spoke at the Holistic Moms Network, sharing with a roomful of moms on how to Claim Your Peaceful Power for long lasting inner peace, happiness, self-confidence and success. There were a few cute little kids in the audience too! It seemed like yesterday when my kids were THAT little. I loved inspiring those moms with young children, as I know how important moms are at instilling values, beliefs and self-esteem in their children, and what kind of lifelong effects stay with a person WAY into adulthood.
The exciting finale of May was that my kids (15-year-old daughter and 13-year-old son) and I competed in the New Jersey International Wushu-Kungfu Tournament on 5/29/11, which happened to be my dear hubby’s 45th birthday. We started Wushu training early last year, and competed at this tournament last May too (my daughter won silver and I won gold for our beginner-level Long Fist form). This year, the three of us competed in both the Long Fist form and Long Staff form competition. We even ordered traditional Chinese Wushu uniforms for the tournament. There were 20 students (I was one of only 2 adults) from our school competing at the tournament. It was a BLAST!! My daughter won a silver and a bronze, and I won 2 gold medals!! My son didn’t medal this time, but, he did very well and I’m very proud of him too!! Over the years, I have competed and won gold medals at state, regional and international martial arts championships. That was my #9 and #10 gold medals, and I am very proud of myself!!

There are other exciting new projects in the works. This August I’m invited to be a keynote speaker at the 2011 Taiwan Joint Conference in Health Care, a major medical conference in Taipei, Taiwan. I will be presenting Intensive Care for the Nurturer’s Soul to 700-800 medical doctors and hospital administrators. This is my first INTERNATIONAL KEYNOTE speaking engagement, so I’m very excited!! If you know I have a background in nursing and Taiwan is my home country, you’ll also understand why it means SO much to me to return to Taiwan to speak at a major medical conference like this. They have booked my airline tickets and a beautiful suite for me in Taipei. I’ve arranged for the conference to invite my father, who is also a medical doctor, to attend my keynote as my guest. Oh I can’t wait!!
Perhaps the MOST EXCITING NEWS of all (yes I’m saving the best for last), is that I’m invited to be a featured expert in a new personal development movie The Keeper of the Keys, starring Jack Canfield, John Gray and Marci Shimoff. I’m a HUGE fan of all three of them, so, needless to say, I am over-the-moon excited and SO deeply honored to be in the same movie with them!!! ♥ Scott Cervine, who recently directed The Shadow Effect movie (starring Deepak Chopra, Debbie Ford and Marianne Williamson) is the director of The Keeper of The Keys. The same company that handled the international distribution of The Secret movie will be distributing this movie. Can you imagine just how phenomenal this movie will be?!!! Yesterday we had a conference call with director Scott Cervine and the movie producer, and I love how Scott will be filming the movie. Next weekend I’ll be flying to Las Vegas to film my part in the movie. I promise I will keep you posted for sure.
Last but not least — Don’t forget to sign up for the F*R*E*E teleseminar I’m hosting next Tuesday! I’m interviewing my good friend Jennifer Longmore, North America’s Soul Purpose Expert. She will share the 9 most powerful questions to help you align your soul’s purpose. It’s a call you won’t want to miss! (read all the details below)
It’s been an extremely hot week here in NJ. My children’s schools were closed early yesterday due to excessive heat. I hope you’re staying cool and healthy, wherever you are!
Happy Weekend!
Peace & Joy,
