President's Message 

Let's be loving every day, not just Feb. 14

It's February, a month dedicated to love. 

We should be loving every day of the year, but what a great reminder for us this month. The world and our country could use a lot more love these days, and I believe it begins inside each of our hearts.

That's why I'm so excited to hear from our speaker this month, Debbie Goldberg. She's all about love! 

In my studies of personal development, I've learned that you are only able to share love with others once you've learned to love and accept yourself. Fear and anxiety can separate us from loving thoughts about ourselves and others. This can be troubling in our personal and professional lives. Hope you'll join us and learn more.

We're psyched about our March BPW Bayside and Bubbles Sunset Cruise out of Amoray Resort in Key Largo on March 15. What fun we'll have sharing time in our beautiful bay at sunset. 

Ilja Chapman of Cruise Planners is sponsoring our event with champagne and snacks. We've got room for about 45 so be sure to register early. 

We're still in limbo for a fundraiser at Snappers Conch Republic Days, so all funds raised in March will go toward our scholarship fund. It's $25 a spot for the cruise. Thanks for your support.

Happy Valentines Day to you!

See you at the luncheon.

Debbie Goldberg 

Author, therapist and spiritual mentor, Debbie N. Goldberg knows anxiety.

Walking away from a thriving career in private practice to follow her true calling was something most people could never do. 

Facing fear, self-doubt, anxiety, judgment and guilt was something Debbie, and many of us have to do, in order to realize our true purpose in this world. 

Debbie tells her story and walks you through the daily exercise of overcoming the self-defeating thoughts we have that stop us from becoming our best possible self. Realize a life of joy, work your passion and live your purpose while avoiding the roadblocks that keep you stuck.

Debbie practiced as a clinical therapist for 18 years in Pennsylvania where she specialized in mental health and substance abuse issues, and provided services to adults and couples. She is now in private practice in Islamorada. 

She brings the spiritual knowledge of her own awakening to her work with others to inspire healing, love, joy, purpose and creativity as they embark on their own spiritual journey.

As a spiritual mentor, Debbie guides people inward to connect with their spiritual guides, find unconditional love, the truth about themselves, and heal the wounds and the programming that keep them from co-creating with God and living a life of passion and purpose.

Congratulations on your Amazon Book Recognition, Debbie!
