I’ve been invited to speak at a special hosted event on March 18th (my birthday!) in California for the United Nation’s International Day of Happiness that recognizes our right to pursue meaning, purpose, and fulfillment -https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2017-international-day-of-happiness-a-free-event-tickets-31719084636. It’s the biggest opportunity I’ve had to get my introverted self out of my cave and share my message/work and make a difference, so I’m beyond excited and a wee-bit challenged!

It’s going to be a TED Talk style 15 minute talk to 250 people of all walks of life including community leaders, business owners, teachers, parents, students. I’m calling it Living Your Passion … and Happiness. It’s going to be both inspirational and practical where I talk about living your passion and then walk them through one approach I have for freeing up the mind of the doubts, fears, limits and other constraints that hold us back and keep us from experiencing peace of mind, fulfillment, and happiness.

I could use all the help, inspiration, and encouragment possible, including crafting my talk … and … advice/help with finding potential sponsors to help raise funds for the trip and marketing materials – I recently got slammed with major expenses (including yet another surgery for my pooch, Sophia) so I simply don’t have a budget for it, but I must find a way! So I’m reaching out to the community for any suggestions/tips/advice on how to best find sponsors, which I’ve never done before!

As some of you may know, I’ve been developing my life’s work, Untapped Genius and Life as a Wave, for several years, and I now find myself in the best position yet to get it all happening and do my part to uplift and inspire the world!! YAY!! :-)
