COOL STUFF GOING ON!!

Last night I dreamed I went to France without any Francs. Maybe this dream stems from the fact that I rarely have cash money in my wallet. Since my kids don’t accept debit cards yet for allowance, they are more than a little accustomed to IOUs aka broken promises. Pretty sure you can’t pay for a cafe au lait with broken promises.

I think this dream relates to my anxiety about so much cool stuff going on and a fear of finding myself unprepared. This fear manifests in reality when I forget to tell the people closest to me like YOU dear reader, when cool stuff appears on the horizon. So! Join me!!

In Madison:

In my capacity as chair of the Jewish Federation’s Family Ed committee I’m helping bring scholar, chef, culinary historian, and amazing author/blogger/writer Michael Twitty to town. He’ll be here next week! Click on the picture for more info.

Also, LTYM announced our 2016 Non-profit causes, which will bring the project over $100,000 in giving to local causes that support women and families in need (including Madison’s own Literacy Network).

Speaking of Madison, Tickets are on sale for our 7th annual Mother’s Day LTYM show! Check out our amazing cast, and learn more about these fine storytellers here.

On The Internet:

Last month I was a guest of the lovely speaker coach Sally Koering Zimney on her This Moved Me fabulous podcast which is “Creating Talks That Move The World.” Here’s a Facebook link to the episode.

At The Iris Awards (at Mom 2.0):

LTYM was nominated for TWO Iris industry awards (in the “Gamechanger” and “Most Entertaining Content” categories) thanks to the thousands of hands that help create and power this live-storytelling video-sharing female-empowerment social-giving social media phenomenon! I am honored to represent LTYM’s third consecutive year as a nominee at the ceremony (and even more super psyched to celebrate with dear friends and colleagues from all over the internet, as we dance the night away at the after-party).

Alas, not in France…yet.

That’s all for now, and that’s plenty of fuel for anxiety dreams through Mother’s Day. Hope to see you at The Barrymore on May 8th!!
