Why share this?
That’s a fair question.
Big picture thinking can land a wide variety of
opportunities.
Speaking begins at libraries, schools, social clubs, grows to corporations, then Cruises, even Hawaii.
Yup, that’s what I said.
This coming Thursday Rita will leave for Honolulu where she will speak to orthodontists. All hotels and meals are covered by the client. The speaker before Rita is Captain Sullenberger, the pilot who landed the plane in the Hudson River.

This little ditty about the pursuit of getting a clear
picture of the name of a boat is a good example of the type of person Rita is.
She sees signs in everything; is a great motivator and just plain silly.
This is Rita’s tale of the photos,
We were getting on the ship for our cruise. Dad took my
picture, we turned around and saw another ship in front of ours (over my right
shoulder), and the word on it stunned us.
We both shouted, "We gotta take a picture of this for
Dave."
So after a very early start to the day, waiting for and
taking a long sweaty bus to the ship, waiting in long sweaty lines to get on
board, we got to our cabin, tossed our stuff in, and headed out to take a photo
for you.
Our cabin was on the 4th level, and all we had to do was get
to the front of the ship to take the picture, but there are signs that say
"No Entry." To add to the challenge, the doors are locked (we tried).
A guy says, "Try deck 3."
However, to get to the front of deck 3, we had to run to the
middle of the ship, go down the stairs, then run to the front. Gotta hurry cuz
the ship in front might leave any minute. Deck 3, blocked also.
Another crewmember says, "Try 9."
We asked if he would go into the locked door and take a
picture for us, no he cannot.
We try 9, go down to 5, got sent to 8.
Each time, running to middle of this huge long ship (see
pic) and back to the front.
FINALLY, on deck 11 (the very top deck) we got to the front
to take the photo.
BUT the front of OUR boat was blocking part of the name.
So 3 days after hearing that SOLSTICE Publishing Co. will
publish Dave's book -- out of all the ships in all the world -- the one ship we
see is "Olstice".
Well, that's what YOU get to see.
What startled us and began the race to get a photo, was looking in front of our boat and seeing huge letters that
spelled SOLSTICE.
So we took the pic, went to our room and collapsed and one
minute later it was time for the MANDATORY life boat drill. LOL

"So our talks have taken us to many beautiful places and we've met some very cool people.
The last cruise/speaking engagement took us to Spain, Italy, Greece, Egypt and Malta, and that was all free for both of us." Rita
