One of my bucket list items was to meet Wayne Dyer and I did it! I went to the Hay House "I Can Do It Conference" in Vancouver and had a picture taken with Wayne. It is such a bad picture of me, but I didn't care, I was thrilled to be there. It was a double pleasure, as I also got to spend some time with my son who lives in Victoria. First about the conference, every speaker was so good, there was a spiritual and weight loss theme about the event, which I liked. My only disappointment was the seating arrangements, I thought that people attending this conference would be of higher consciousness and would not create such havoc every time we left the room. Unless you held your seat, someone, in their infinite wisdom would try to get closer to the stage and would take it. Which of course caused a ripple effect. To me it seemed so simple, stay put and everything would go smoother and less chaotic.

During a long walk last week, the first in a very long time, I had some time to clear my head of all the planning and details that I feel the need to go over and over in my head. I started to think about my November 7th tradefair and my motivation for putting it on. I feel so blessed to be at the place in my life with a clear vision of what my passion is, and the reason I am here is because I took some risks and stepped outside of my comfort zone. I began to think about how difficult it is for people to let go of the past, sometimes there is comfort in holding on to their baggage. As I was thinking of this, I realized how at the other side of this, is that so few of us enjoy being in the moment. We are here and we wish to be there, then poof, the moment is gone. Guilty.... I am so busy DOING, that I forget to BE. This is a lesson I have learned before, but one that is obviously...

Re: Are you an original? Break Free From the Mold.
Thank you for speaking into my heart this morning. I have always been "the original" one - the one that never stayed with the status quo. Visionaries are like that. It is only recently that I can truly say that I am gifted and talented and YES Different than the woman who must please each person and put herself last. I still do please people and still do put myself last, but I do it because I want to- not because it is expected of me.
How do I become a part of the tribe you are running with?

Hi Diana. Belated congratulations on being awarded the WMCA Women of Distinction award! I just want to say hello and let you know I am thinking happy thoughts for you. I traveled in from Cold Lake for your first Fabulous @ 50 at the Lions Centre with my hand painted silk scarves. All the best!
Re: Are you an original? Break Free From the Mold.
My grandmother used to say "If you never looked in a mirror you would never know you were getting older". I have now lived long enough to know she was right. In her honor I am going out today to buy a perfectly fitted red bra, and I'm going to live, every day, at the age I feel when I don't look in the mirror.
Love your blog, thought provoking as always.
Cheers,
Lorraine
