Strive and Thrive - Creating lifestyles with impact

Everything we already know...
And it’s sometimes such a challenge!

Thanks to the Awesome Northern CA Chapter of the Huntington's Disease Society of America for the opportunity to help with their silent and live auction a couple of weeks ago. What fun it was to auctioneer along side emcee Max Moon. Thanks to my dear friend Wendy Hill for connecting me to the group. I'm excited to help this powerful organization with more events in 2019.

The GREAT NEWS....I'm headed back to school -- auctioneer school that is -- with Missouri Auction School. Missouri Auction

Help me help women-led non-profits who are apprehensive about fundraising put the fun back in their fundraising. Together we'll create engaging and memorable events that will have donors wanting to come back for more.

Just over the last few weeks, I've had the privilege of talking to many non-profit directors who are looking for support around fundraising. If you are affiliated with a non-profit who wants to put together an event, let me know. I have tools to help!

Hello Facebook friends! We are prepping for our next adventure in the Winnebago. My intention for this trip is to connect with others on what leadership is and what being a courageous leader means. As we travel through Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Idaho and Oregon I am looking to connect with small groups to start the conversation. I'm excited to attend networking events or to host small groups along the way.

Let's work together to create positive and lasting change!

Off for another Winnebago Adventure soon....Heading through Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Oregon. Stay tuned!

The Fight with Food! Many of you know me as a “skinny” person, whatever that is. The reality is, I am not a naturally skinny person and I struggle with food every day.
