Braveheart Women's Rise Conference, Los Angeles

I have been to a lot of events, but none have been more inspiring than the Braveheart Women’s Rise Conference last weekend. The back to back notable speakers were brilliant-- gorgeous, intelligent and well-spoken. It was like watching “The View” on steroids. All we had to do was to keep up with all the information and upliftment coming at us.

A full spectrum of women’s issues were presented and discussed; everything from health, spirituality, abusive relationships, dream analysis, finances, and pole dancing to awaken the inner goddess. ☺ Even the breaks were a lot of fun as people danced in the aisles to loud, upbeat music.

There were so many highlights. Let me just name a few. Ellie Drake, founder of Braveheart Women, gave an overview of her driving vision that was so high minded and passionate -- it still give me chills. She is out to change the world by empowering women and bringing us together in a global community to help bring about healing and world peace.

One of the things that I really learned during this star-studded week-end. (with Maya Angelo, Muriel Hemmingway, Marla Maples, Michael and Ricky Beckworth, Kate Eddlemen, Stephanie Powers, Delta Burke, Courtney Cox, Rolanda Watts, etc. etc.) was that, without exception, every celebrity that I met — all of these great talented movers and shakers on the public stage — are genuinely philanthropic individuals with passion for their causes. Like all of us, they are interested in making the world a better place. Bravo to all you Braveheart women!

It was an amazing experience to be in a congregation of women all devoted to raising the planets energy by being authentic to themselves and their intrinsic feminine power. I was able to network with women from around the world. I’m telling all my friends about Braveheart Women. See you online!

Carol Channing is 88 years young. Her comedic timing is pitch perfect, as was her delivery of "Hello Bravehearts" at our Braveheart's Rise award ceremony. She is dedicated to bringing the arts back into the education system and says that creativity training grows the brain. Bravo!

Ali Brown has been my marketing mentor for three years. She is an online information marketing guru par excellence -- and an all around amazing woman!

Muriel Hemmingway is so down to earth and authentic that everyone wishes she was their best friend. She has started her own brand of health and beauty products and recently invested in an organic farm. The produce from her farm will be used in developing her products.

I wish I would have asked her what she does to stay so seriously fit. Genetics? - or Pilates?

Peggy O'Neil is on a campaign to teach girl's self-esteem. "Look for the diamond within." This 3'8" international speaker is the author of "Walking Tall."

I love Stephanie Powers! In the 80's, I was a big fan of ABC's "Hart to Hart and wanted to be just like (the fictitious) Jennifer Hart." Stephanie would rather be remembered for her many philanthropic causes. She is the president of the William Holden Wildlife Preservation. She is an international speaker for her causes and is fluent in six languages. (- and she is drop dead gorgeous!)

Ellie Drake. Remember the name. This woman is out to change the world. She is the founder of Braveheart Women. Her global vision is powered by integrity, stunning intelligence and an incredible personal magnetism. I want whatever she's having!

I was impressed with how kind and genuine Marla Maples is. She uses her celebrity to put the spotlight on global healing. Spiritual inspiration and metaphysics are what concern her most, as well as being Mom to her 16 year old daughter. But I've just got to say it ... she has the best legs in the whole world. ( ! )

Kim Kiyosaki, (wife of Robert Kiyosaki who wrote Rich Dad, Poor Dad,) has written her own book, "Rich Woman; Take charge of your money. Take charge of your life." She has some amazing statistics about women and finances. For example: "In the first year after a divorce, a woman's standard of living drops an average of 73%." and "Of the elderly living in poverty, three out of four are women, yet 80% were not poor when their husbands were alive."
I got her book and I'm going to read it.
---- Live long and prosper!
