Oh Happy Days



The show was amazing, the standard of the advanced students was high, of particular note was the elevation, strength and the fouettes were royal ballet standard! Working with this small company also showed me that dance unites people. I have been welcomed into the Viera dance community with open arms, I'm sure it helps being an ex dance teacher and having a shared love of dance.

The shuttle launch did happen on Sunday, people congregated on Satellite Beach to watch this spectacular sight, it's a shame the pictures of way less than David Bailey quality I know, aren't able to convey the noise and the atmosphere created.

Back to work! I am attending a seminar on Saturday and one of the speakers Monica Wofford has agreed to meet with me personally. For this alone I am already excited as Monica works alongside my own heroes of the training and personal development industry..........Steven Covey, Jack Canfield and Ken Blanchard and is a successful business woman in her own right. The local SBA (Small Business Administration) whose purpose is to help the start up and small business community is only a 25 min walk away from where I am staying, I went along last night and participated in a seminar which was delivered by a really inspirational guy Bill and again had some good ideas for the training that I deliver, I also survived the 'car dodge' on the walk home. No-one seems to walk here!

There is another story going on here too. My friend Karen is staying in my house as 'Mum for a Month' looking after my three daughters. This has caused much hilarity among her colleagues at work as Karen is a focussed and excellent business woman, Karen has brought her organisational skills to my home and is behaving like 'Supermum' from what I can gather, I have very big boots to fill when I arrive home! Karen is also great fun and has already thrown a party, rumours of my daughters getting tattoos and clubbing all night are all a joke, or so I hope! Anyway, poor Karen did have to deal with a ground floor sewage leak last week. I did feel guilty then, not guilty enough to not go Jet Skiing though!

a>Some good news too....... Josephine and Beth (her Mum) went into one of the large Barnes & Noble book stores to buy a copy of our book 'Making It' and it is sold out!!! I did sneak off to the beach for a couple of hours this morning too, when I checked my emails later our publishers have got us a translation deal, to translate 'Making It' into Russian.....................making money whilst on the beach, that is my idea of business!!! Happy Days to you all, Lou x
