Events

I know, it's hard to keep track of me. People often ask me, "What are you up to now? And, by the way, where are you?" If I'm not on another trip for a feature article or sharing my powerful story along with the Look Up Mantra, I'm definitely researching my next adventure.

Raving fans have joined me for presentations, book signings, and interviews in Boston, Miami, La Crosse, Kauai, Italy, Cuba, and perhaps your neck of the woods this year.
