	Let's Make February a month to be Fabulous! The next 29 days will help determine the path you are on for the rest of the year. You either go after your goals or you don't. As 2011, came to a close, I sat down and wrote out my intentions for the entire year. I am proud to say that everything that I set out to do in January has come to pass. I launched talk fusion, a new way of doing business, I began work on my coffee table book celebrating all of the legendary ladies who played Dolly Levi in Hello, Dolly!... publishing date January 2014. I secured a date for a photo shoot in February. Wow, what a busy month January was! My blog continues to thrive and the readership has more than doubled. I had lunch with the managers of the Metropolitan Room and Feinstein's in hopes of bringing exciting programming to both venues. I also began the month and year by seeing the amazing Lucie Arnaz at Feinstein's. There truly was no better way kick off my year. Of course, I blogged all about it the next day. Then it was off to California for a very exciting time. It was great to see old friends again, and to make new ones. I was thrilled to meet Roberta Olden, who was Ginger Rogers, personal assistant from 1977 until 1995. Roberta was my first interview for my upcoming book, and gave me lots to work with. For those of you who do not know, Ginger Rogers replaced Carol Channing in Hello, Dolly! On Broadway. That same evening, I saw Michael Holmes' The Judy Show in Palm Springs. What fun! A couple of days later we were in Los Angeles for a special screening of Carol Channing Larger than Life, which opens nationwide February 3. What an exciting night that was. Again, you can read all about it in one of my previous blogs. And then it was off to Denver. I ended the month by seeing the amazing Anita Gillette at Birdland. I interviewed her earlier last month. And here we are in February. I'm kickstarting the month with my workshop. There are still a few spots left. I'm doing a workshop next Friday night!
