Greetings!    

 

Summer is quickly coming to its end replaced by the business and  busyness that fall brings into our lives and our households.  For me, fall has always felt like "a beginning of an end" closely followed by winter (in my case, long Chicago ones) and the end of another year.   This year, I am choosing instead to celebrate fall fully as simply "a beginning". 

 

And the quality of this beginning has a lot to do with my most recent touch point with karma. 

 

Karma.  Do you believe? 


Karma.  Do you believe? 

 

I retired from corporate to launch my own executive and leader coaching business in 2006.  I am very grateful for the success that I have enjoyed in both my career and now with my business.  How to create success for you is what I share and coach in my executive, business and leadership coaching engagements and programs. What I have NOT shared till now is what that success enabled me to do and how that has come back to me in my life. 

 

During my third year in business I got the chance to fully appreciate the concept that the more revenue I make, the more I can give.  With the support of my husband, I took a big chunk of my revenues that year and donated it to a cause I had only just become aware of - a program that provides free breast cancer screening and diagnostics for women with no medical insurance or financial means. The program is called "Buy a Mom a Mammogram".  

 

The wonderful organization behind this program is A Silver Lining Foundation.  The wonderful person behind this foundation is Dr. Sandy Goldberg who I had just had the pleasure to get to know in the way that we coaches get to know people - heart to heart, soul to soul.  Dr. Sandy is a breast cancer survivor herself and since has committed her life to equal access to quality and timely cancer screening and diagnosis for all.  Please click here to learn more about her great work: www.asilverliningfoundation.org.

 

I had been touched by breast cancer once in my family with my closest cousin years before, once when I lost my best girlfriend and our son's godmother in 2000 and about a year after I began my involvement with A Silver Lining Foundation when my current best girlfriend was diagnosed.  The statistics are that one in every three women will be diagnosed with this disease in their lifetime and another is diagnosed every three minutes.  So when I got the call with my diagnosis on Friday, the 13th of May this year my reaction was not "why me" but rather "why not me".  

 

My doctor warned me that there are few days as dark as the one when you are told you have cancer.  My husband and I went through that darkness together for days before we were ready to tell our family, weeks before we told friends and even then we waited till we had a good sense of my prognosis before we told our teenage son.  My surgery was on June 22nd and my sisters were with me one week later in the moment the darkness was lifted by the news from my surgeon. 

 

In a few consecutive brief sentences she confirmed not only was I now cancer free, but that I would not require either chemo or radiation treatments, and I could start a five-year drug therapy that would reduce my risk of reoccurrence back to that of the normal population.  You see my cancer was found at Stage 0.  In my annual mammogram. 

 

When I informed Dr. Sandy that I was now not only one of her biggest supporters, but also a poster story for her "Buy a Mom a Mammogram" program her response was this:

 

"Fantastic!

There is an old saying that you reap what you sow. And your love and support of our ladies in need circled back to you."

 

Do I believe in karma?  Absolutely! 

 

And even more so in gratitude.  I am so very grateful for the opportunity to continue to try to make a difference with my life and my love and to support others to do the same.   I will continue to boldly support executives and leaders to soar to success and create their quantum endeavor - living their great lives doing their great work. 

 

In fact, my final SOAR to Success program in 2011 launches on 9/22 and more than half of the seats are already reserved!   Reserve yours now for you and your team as I am donating $100 from every seat sold between now and 9/22 to the "Buy A Mom a Mammogram program!" at the Silver Lining Gala on October 1st!   Make this the year that you take a stand for your great life and career!  Make this the year that you take a stand for the difference that you want to make!
