Lorrie Sullenberger is married to US Airway Captain Chesley B. "SULLY" Sullenberger, who famously landed Flight 1549 in the Hudson River on January 15, 2009. They live in Danville and Lorrie is the creator of the television show Fit and Fabulous Outdoor, which inspires women from all fitness levels to incorporate fitness and outdoors into their daily routine.

Tonight Lorrie was the guest speaker at Mt. Diablo Business Women's Dinner Meeting. She shared how their world turned upside down in an instant. "We have to be Ready. We must be prepared, mentally and physically." Her message was very inspiring and she spoke with such conviction.  Lorrie said we must be mentally and physically fit for our big moment-it may be tomorrow.  Sully had been expanding his knowledge on safety for years.  She has experience with media-they were completely prepared for their big moment! They are truly grateful they were!!

Lorrie is spending her days speaking to women's group, organizations and schools on physical fitness.

Sully is completing a book on the landing of Flight 1549 and will return to flying in the late fall of this year.

Mike Robbins was the guest speaker at CCRIM yesterday.  He gave an inspiring message to all in attendance.

Mike, a retired professional baseball player with the Kansas City Royals, believes the key to success is found in the power of appreciation and expressing our own authenticity. He shared a few amazing personal stories that challenged many of us in a very positive way. He used specific examples of ways to connect and show gratitude to those around us.

His new, best selling book was released in April.  

Mike believes insight without actions makes no difference.

To your success!  Cathy Lee

In my staging business, I believe the key to increasing the size of any small area is to maximize the function of the room while minimizing the clutter.

Clutter is a reflection of chaos in ones life. If you are preparing your home for sale, it eats equity! Discard, organize, donate and you will create an efficient feeling throughout the room.

A simple decor works best. Light fabrics, absent of print or pattern will in enlarge the area.  When selecting furniture, try to choose pieces that are taller or contain hidden storage spots.

The final way to inflate your space and add appeal to every room is with light.  Three sources of light is ideal when possible.
