Last night, I had the honor of speaking at the Go Red and Jafra Cosmetics conference. Thank you to Jafra Cosmetics for making me feel so welcomed and for having Go Red be a part of the event.

Side note...while going through my camera, I came across photos of the Renaissance Festival with the Linz clan....yes, I rode an elephant! I could camp if they only had plugs in trees!

Homes for OUR TROOPS in Honor of CPL. Joshua Hoffman


The evening was a wonderful one with an attendance of over 200. Josh and Heather looked wonderful and Jan Taylor did an amazing job with the benefit. There were many speakers including Senator Valde Garcia, Dr. Joseph E Thomas Jr and CPL Todd Caccamo, USMC. Surely there was a VP in the bunch! Dr Thomas held atleast 4 degrees and multiple certificates alone!

No doubt an emotional night and I was also honored to have Cay Stout there who read a letter from George W Bush...THANK YOU CAY FOR BEING SO AMAZING AND SO UNSELFISHLY INVOLVED. Beautiful soul....

So a few bits from the evening, I did have a lady tap me on the shoulder and asked me if I took credit...she looked JUST LIKE SARA PALIN....after my initial , "excuse me" and , " I do declare"...it was for the silent auction :))))

Andy emceed with me and was my usual hero. Baritone meets high squeeky voice...we are the perfect couple! Baritone me of course:)

Josh, Heather...we love you both! What a journey and what a love story. Jan, YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE EVERYDAY AND ARE PROOF TO WHAT ONE HEART CAN DO!

God bless...good night....

Deanna & Andy

PS- Along with the ever pondering question as to why yawns are contagious is the one...why is my face always FIVE shades lighter than my body...must just be my internal glow....:)))
