Many of you will remember the recognition and award I was to receive in Washington D. C. as a Woman of Impact. It will be an event I will remember the rest of my life. I am honored to be on the cover and centerfold of the magazine Focus on Women, Sept/Oct 2015. I will realize the benefits of this event and magazine for a long time into the future. For this, I am grateful.My hubby surprised me with this beautiful pendant he made for me for the event. It is a 7.5ct Ceylon sapphire and diamond set in white gold.
How I physically made it through this month without falling apart is a miracle in itself. On Oct 13, I left at 4:30 in the morning to catch the first ferry out of Dodge. Starting out tired on this journey was not a "good" thing. Once on the mainland, I had lots of errands to do before heading to the airport in Seattle around 9 P. M. My plane didn't leave until 1 A.M. so I had time to kill and went to the movies. Opted for a scary thriller which made the walk back to my car around midnight a bit unnerving. Then back to the airport. The plane was overbooked. NO elbow, leg or moving room to get comfortable -- or SLEEP.
