Hope Springs Eternal At the Essentially Women Conference

I recently spoke at the Essentially Women Conference in Charleston, SC. (www.essentiallywomen.com) I have to tell you that I was incredibly moved by these business owners. Most of the owners are women who sell prosthetics to women who have undergone mastectomies. I was awestruck by the deliberate calm and care that these women show their patients in such a highly emotional industry. These women help their patients see that hope springs eternal.

I am grateful to Sandy Carpenter and Andy Wright of Gemtress (www.gemtress.com) who were good enough to sponsor my speaking at this event. Andy has been in this industry selling wigs for 35 years. Anyone who has been in business for ANY amount of time understands that you must be passionate, customer service oriented, and provide unbelievable quality of product to be able to sustain for that length of time. In tandem, Melissa Bergel and Barb Moebs of Essentially Women deserve an inordinate amount of kudos for the success of this event.

Finally, I am eternally grateful to Cindy Ciardo, Michelle Owens, Linda Collier, and Linda Romps who helped me create and sustain deliverable content for this program.

Ladies, I am a better person for having known you. You have my heart...
