Hello,

Well, the old saying "March comes in like a lion - and leaves like a lamb" sure held true for us on the West coast of North America this year. We had snow all the way to the middle of the month! A real shock for those of us not used to having to carry more than an umbrella! But it looks like spring is coming soon.

I hope that you are feeling optimistic and positive about the new season - and are looking forward to new business and associations.

If you're a woman in the greater Vancouver area - I hope you'll join me this Friday - March 31, 2006 at 7 p.m. as I present a workshop called "New Again" at Central Heights Church, 1661 McCallum Road, Abbotsford, B.C.

Come for a ladies evening tea. You'll be challenged to see life “NEW AGAIN” no matter what stage of life you are in. 

Special music by Stephanie and Amy Klassen, a special feature by Susan Suderman, and  delicious desserts from Marie’s Kitchen will leave you encouraged to see the freshness of a new creation this spring. 

Tickets can be purchased for $7.00 at Central Heights Church until Friday March 31

A dear friend of mine - Glenda Watson-Hyatt is a real inspiration! Due to oxygen deprivation at birth, Glenda struggles with cerebral palsy. One of the MOST positive people I know - Glenda is now putting her life's experiences into a book. You can read excerpts from "I'll Do It Myself" on Glenda's blog at http://webaccessibility.biz/blog/?p=26  You can sign up periodic updates from her book. Make sure you check it out - you'll be inspired too!
