The Empowering Effect of Conventions

Besides performing at conventions, I've been an attendee of many such events over the years because the effect is so very empowering. Meeting new colleagues with similar interests and mutual goals has always proved to be stimulating to my creativity and motivation. The depth and breadth of information never fails to give my brain a much needed re-charge. Now I find myself in the Mecca of conventions and grand events -- Orlando! I particularly delight at the happy attitudes of people at the conventions, and they make wonderful participants in the fun (and funny) segments of my interactive shows. So, if you are considering if it would be worth it to attend a special event or convention... take my advice -- go! You'll be glad you did. Those close to me know that I am also empowered by the income I receive performing, as it helps fund the free events I enjoy doing at schools, hospitals, libraries and nursing homes. I look forward to playing all of the food-related events, as well as all the other events where a sit-down dinner is part of the festivities, so I hope to meet you at your next event in Orlando, and if you have someone in a hospital or nursing home in the Orlando area, please send me their name and location if you'd like me to stop by and perform to put a smile on their faces. In the meantime, please remember to empower someone today with your thoughtful words and deeds. God bless!
