New Energy – Golf anyone??

Hi All!!
One thing I determined to do while on sabbatical was to embark on new opportunities and activities. So far, I have zip lined in Cabo, snorkeled and played with monkeys in Roatan, been caught in a sandstorm in Egypt, and attempted horseback riding here on Texan soil. In addition, I took golf lessons and fell in love with the game..or at least what little I do know about the game – LOL!!
So, it was right up my alley when I saw the Women on Course Luncheon event notice. This organization is all about the golf lifestyle – the game, the fun, the travel, the networking, and most of all, the relationships. I had to be there!!
Mmmm…who could I get to go with me? I wanted someone to share my joy – Ahh haa…At that moment, I immediately contacted my savvy friend Dr. Laureen Wishom. She is an award-winning success coach, strategist, entrepreneur and author. Since she is all about promoting women, I knew she would be interested.
The luncheon was FABULOUS!!! It was held at woman-owned Fleming’s this past Saturday afternoon. The agenda included a fashion show, financial tips, food, and fun. I met so many wonderful women like Iman Houston, who “worked it” as one of the fashion show models. Her mom, Ty, appropriately coined the term New Energy to describe the joyous and excited atmosphere that was created by new relationships being formed during the event.
Oh, I want to mention that Sandy Castillo shared such an amazing healing story (can’t wait for the book)! I was also very much delighted to meet Meredith Raine, Stephani Tipton, Susan Kramer, Denise Marks, and Jane Seaman. We were all pleasantly surprised and energized with all the great conversations going on between like-minded women.
On the way out, it seemed like no one wanted to leave. We were all still talking, laughing, networking, and trying to decide what size/color jacket we wanted as our membership gift. It was at this point that I met Susan Deison, Connie Warner and her sister Linda Peck, who was visiting from California. Although a golfer for many years, I talked Connie into signing up for membership as well. This was definitely an awesome way to spend the afternoon. We all had a great time and left with high expectations for the upcoming events.
Thanks Leslie Devitz, Shelley, Shirley, and Women on Course !!

Thanks so much for your wonderful words regarding the WOC event on Saturday. It really was one of the best events we’ve had and you’re correct in that it seemed that nobody was ready to leave.
I hope to see you at the play date on the 24th and if not please make every effort to make the clinic on the 27th at The Village in Panarama (Conroe) and then play the 9 hole scramble.
As you know, Shelley and I are interested in working with “women” and helping them achieve their financial goals. If you are interested in putting together a group for a “Pearls of Wisdom seminar”, we’ll bring the wine. This is a very low key, but educational seminar that really brings up some important issues that face women.
Love your blog. See you soon.
