On November 3rd we held our Sac City fashion Show with
Magnum Opus at the Clairon Hotel because of the overwhelming response to this amazing event. Everyone was at their best
that night; the designers out did themselves or sure! We appreciate all the models that donated their time for two and a half
months of Saturday practices and extra photo shoots in between. We couldn't have done it without all you. Thank you from
the bottom of my heart.

I went
to Japan on the 8th for a five day engagement as a guest of The Mainichi Newspaper, Japan's oldest daily newspaper. I was
excited to say the least! I was so humbled to be asked and thanks to the generosity of the Mainichi Newspaper it was entirely
paid for!!! Renee Byer and I along with a Japanese mom and a Japanese doctor were invited to speak at a symposium . The
photos were shown and I was asked in Japanese (thankfully it was translated to English) about them...It was a powerful moment
to see so many interested in what we had to say. Renee happened to be a guest of "Days of Japan" magazine which
happened to feature "Our Journey" front cover with several photos inside. I visited the AFLACK house that
gives a family a place to stay when their child is going through the long hospital stay and allows them to be close to their
child. I also had the chance to meet other moms that lost thier child to cancer and share the pictures with them. It
was a special moment knowing that without saying a word that they too shared my pain. I know I will never forget those five
days ever.
