Workshops & Speaking14 Dec 2007 11:25 am

Last week I got a voicemail from a husband in DC area. He wanted to surprise his wife for Christmas by sending her to the Wine Country Workshop. We talked over the phone and worked out a plan. He was going to give his wife a song and dance about how he didn’t know if it worked for the workshop to happen this year, and in the meantime he’d buy her spot and wait for me to call his wife, Wendy, so I could tell her over the phone that she was coming to Napa Valley in April 08!

This poor guy! Our plan was for me to call and surprise his wife on Wednesday night. But we had our annual PUG Christmas party that night, and I had so much on my plate. Well if you remember, registration opened Wednesday night, and Wendy was ready to sign up right at that moment. But Scott, knowing our plan, came up with more reasons of why she couldn’t do this workshop just yet. I’m talking “very brave man”!

All the suspense made it that much more fun to call Wendy myself on Thursday night and surprise her! The funny story in this all is she’d been really frustrated with how blurry her photos were. From her blog, it sounds like she reached a peak of frustration on Thursday when the doorbell rang and DVD 2, Beyond the Green Box, was on her doorstep! Isn’t this crazy, you couldn’t plan better timing!

When I called that night, Scott answered, and I heard him say to Wendy “Tech support for fuzzy pictures is on the phone!” I loved it! And then Wendy came on the phone!

What a sweet, wonderful woman! I can’t wait to meet in person Wendy! I hope it’s okay to share this, but Wendy is one of those amazing women who has had to share her husband with the war. Their baby was born on 9/11 (can you imagine going into labor that day?), and Scott was allowed to stay for the birth, but then he had to take off for several months. Wendy was alone, with a newborn, and need I say more…

Wendy, you deserve so much for all that you give as a wife and mom! I’m so excited for you to come to the workshop, be filled up, laugh, cry, and be inspired and empowered–with some wine and cheese in between!

Much love to you!

Me Ra

    Oh that is such a wonderful story - I had to go to Wendy’s blog and read all about it. Now I have to have SOMEONE ELSE send the links on to my husband, so it’s not coming from me as a suggestion! But Wendy’s husband did it all on his own! How beautiful!

    What an incredible gift! AND what a sweet hubby. You’ll love the workshop, Wendy. So nice of you to call, Me Ra. I just think your personal touches are fab!

    Congrats Wendy - great hubby and great story. Had to laugh at the previous comment. Thought the same thing “how can I get this link to my husband without it coming directly from me?”

  11. on 14 Dec 2007 at 7:58 pm Amie

    I second that Tami - Me Ra - you have to come to Arizona!!! I would just be so happy!!!!

    OK, I went for it & emailed my husband this link….I want to join Wendy in Napa or another workshop - I hope that there are openings still!
