It's Here...

The summer issue of elan woman is on it's way to you! If you are looking for an adventure this is the issue for you. The pages are full of vibrant women taking in life with the fullest of breath. Thank you ladies for sharing your stories and emulating courage to "move" through life with a huge splash of excitement.
I am currently on location at the Radisson Resort in Fort McDowell, Arizona - an oasis in the desert. While working on stories and distribution in the area, I'm also taking in my son, JorDan's, 6 hour off-road endurance race (he races ATVs). Fortunately this race is at night...the desert's summer sun is at full strength so the roar of the engines will wait until sunset before hitting the rough course. Racing has allowed me to experience so many places along the highway. Fort McDowell has an enchanting beauty all it's own. Growing up on a reservation myself, I honor the open spaces that the tribes work so hard to perserve.
What is great about Fort McDowell, among other things, is that I get to visit my lovely daughter, Sara, who lives with her husband in the area. We had the opportunity to shop yesterday and I'm proud to say I wore her out. Yes, mom still has it...stamina and dad's credit cards.
Watch for the beautiful July/August issue of elan woman, in stores next week!

DEADline!!!

"There is a reason the week before we go to print on the upcoming issue is called DEADline! The office is buzzing at elan woman - ads are being designed, stories are under edit, and we're choosing photos for stories...as my mother use to tell me, I'll look like, "death eating a graham cracker," when the week is through
(where did she come up with that???).
A visit to Salt Lake City came in the midst of chaos. I had dinner with my forever PTA friends at Archibald's (oh, do I love their green fried tomatoes). Caught up with my girlfriend's Shelly and Angie for a photo shoot on location with Sabina, an artist who is daring, creative and simply a lovely woman. What courage she has..what talent...and what a gorgeous lady, inside and out. Writer Lynda Bernal, will share Sabina's depth and creativity with you in the July/August issue of elan woman.
Thanks to all you Utah PTA ladies who make my life so full, hugs Angie for your great photos...and Shelly, thanks for making me laugh so hard I have to consciously "hold it."
