Hello
to each and every one of you!
Summertime......and
the livin' is easy. Famous song lyrics by the legendary George Gershwin. If
George could see my summertime schedule, he might be singing a different tune
entirely!
So
much going on, and so long since we've communicated with you. Let me take a
few minutes to share some recent highlights as to what's been happening with
"Lunchmeat & Life Lessons."
- London
Calling: I've just returned from a trip across the pond, where I was
honored to speak at the CIETT 2012 World Employment Conference. This was an
incredible global event, as 28 different countries were represented in
the worldwide recruitment industry. I gave two presentations during the
conference and audience feedback was so high I nearly floated back home
on it rather than boarding an airplane for the return trip. Even better?
I think my appearances have opened avenues for even more globetrekking
in the future. Cheers to that possibility!
- Crossroads
Hospice: I was asked by the earthly angels of the Crossroads Hospice
community to speak to their compassionate organization recently. I was
honored that close to 400 attendees listened to me as I shared the
Butcher's Wisdom with medical professionals who provide comfort and
dignity to those in their final days, who then share his stories with
their patients. Incredible, isn't it? That the common sense approach to
life my father championed also resonates among those who have so little
time left to live it. An enduring legacy I am always grateful to share.
- Lunchmeat
Legion Book Clubs: I am getting more and more emails lately sharing how
Lunchmeat is making the book club circles in living rooms and board
rooms all over the country. One of my favorites? A spunky group of
retiree readers who regularly gather to share books and discuss them. I
was charmed and captivated when I received a recent letter from one of those
readers who shared a member comment about my book. A retired
psychologist was asked to give her perspective on "Lunchmeat and
Life Lessons," and she had this to say: "Thank God Mary Lucas
didn't write this when I was still in practice or I would have never had
another patient!" Imagine that! And proof positive that it's never
to late to be learning.
Finally,
Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there doing their best each day to
raise our next generation. You know who you are, and here's to a job well
done. There's a special Dad in my own home that I'd like to thank for giving
me the two greatest gifts of my life, my sons Chase and Nick. Happy Father's
Day, Scott.
Well,
friends, that's a Lunchmeat Wrap. As we find ourselves immersed in the
busyness of June, July and August, I hope you'll take a moment to catch some
fireflies, swing in a backyard hammock and treat yourself to some lemonade.
The home made kind, because summertime livin' is as tasty as it ever gets.
