Houstonians

Well, I've been in Houston since Wednesday evening - this is a city of BIG fun and BIG doings. On Thursday I interviewed Marla Regan, of "Organized Time" and "Shedding News". Marla has lived in Houston for 10 years, hailing originally from Lake Charles, Lousiana. Her passion is speaking, coaching and teaching - on her favorite subjects: time management, organization, and efficiency. She currently offers teleclasses, workshops and her monthly newsletter, "Shedding News".

Yesterday I spent an enlightening afternoon with Alan Davidson, author of "Body Briallance", interviewer extraorinaire, owner of Essential Touch (www.throughyourbody.com) and future climber of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Alan has devoted much of the last 20 years of his life to further his own and other's conscousness - with the intent of healing the planet: individually and collectively. Articulate, learned and gracious Alan chronicles his path, mentors he has learned from along the way and the services he's offering the world as a result. One of his favorite passions is to explore healing from the perspective of the 5 IQ's: Physical, Mental, Emotional, Moral and Spiritual; his first book in a triology, "Body Brilliance" addresses the physical realm. He is currently working on his 2nd book, tentatively titled, "Brilliant Heart, Genius Mind". He also took me to one of his favorite restaurant spots in the Montrose area of Houston, "Baba Yega". This came after a delightfully nurturing and healing bodywork session at his studio, "Essential Touch".

My host in Houston is Patty Walters, inspiration and master strategic attraction coach who has owned her own business since 2004. Patty offers corporate and individual coaching focusing on leveraging the power of positive relationships to bring us more of what we want and less of what we don't want. Some of her programs include, "I - shift now"; "Life is better with a B.O.A. (bold, outrageous and authentic)and "Your Relationship Rx". A vivacious firecracker Patty's presence creates change, magic and transformation. An experienced actress and singer she incorporates her "Improv" process into her coaching practice making it fun, spontaneous and playful. She has been showing me the "town" including dancing, texas barbecue, mexican food and a memorable visit to the Lakewood church. That deserves it's own entry so more to follow....
