KGAN CBS 2 :: Top Stories - Engineers at Rockwell Collins Proud to be Part of Boeing 787's Development

This week, aviation had a great achievement in air travel. The Boeing Company revealed the Boeing 787 "Dreamliner", which is the most sophisticated aircraft of its kind. Having the Boeing campus in my backyard, per se, I am proud of them! I know many computer engineers at Boeing and value their dedication to make this great. Equally, the Dreamliner wouldn't be a trendsetter if it were not for the futuristic work of the engineers at Rockwell Collins. A true partnership leads to great things. A fantastic team effort.

As most travelers board planes today, most will never realize the hours of work from committed people that help ensure air safety and comfort. As a frequent business traveler, it is very exciting to see technology improvements! Knowing that this is just the beginning to what aviation will look like is exciting. KGAN CBS 2 :: Top Stories - Engineers at Rockwell Collins Proud to be Part of Boeing 787's Development.

Next time you fly think about the hardworking people who made it possible. I do, and I thank them for getting me there and back safely.

Stealth Doesn't Mean Gone

For the past year, I have been "stealth"! If you think I was gone, well, not exactly. Stealth to me has been a quite and reflective period in my life. I highly recommend everyone to seriously disconnect and go STEALTH. Here is what I did.

First, deactivated my FaceBook account, then reduced or eliminated any social media chatter, finally became an observer of those around me and learned a lot by listening.

During this time, I navigated through two immediate family deaths that left a question I am still trying to answer. "How do you want to be remembered", and does it really matter. Having the honor to speak on behalf of the family that had passed, allowed me to learned about who they were and find deep meanings in the way they were. Connections soon became obvious where they weren't noticed before. This happens only when you go STEALTH.

Another task I took on during my STEALTH mode was purging. Everything that didn't have a purpose went to charity or Western Waste (our trash company). This included my office, home and vehicle! I loved the simpler and cleaner environment. Now I make it a point to purge weekly and either value what I have or move it forward. My daughter isn't too keen on that yet and manages to hide the crippled dolls and other tokens.

I also, began calling people more. I read and observed so much during my STEALTH mode that I realized people (including me) were not talking. Me a PR girl, who loves to communicate suddenly felt lost without being able to do a status update. So I called people, I called my parents, I called my brother and sister, I called my friends and coworkers. I tried calling before any electronic communication. It was nice and most people, at first thought, what is wrong (why are you calling). But soon, it was obvious I was just calling. Then I called those people who come to mind but you never follow-up on. I called them too. It was great.

Now after being STEALTH, I am reformulating myself to move forward in a new way. Just because you tweet, FaceBook and text doesn't mean you communicate. After all the social media buzz some will return to talking and writing with a pen and use social media to strengthen their relationships. There isn't anything that can replace a conversation or a face to face meeting. These encounters are refreshing. Isn't that amazing? As you take part in the very important social media chatter and online, tweeting parties, ask yourself... Can You go STEALTH and observe and talk to someone?


As for me, I am surfacing but still have a lot to learn and I am enjoying being on this side. Don't worry, just because you don't see me, doesn't mean I don't see you.

I will be posting some of my magical STEALTH moments in the upcoming days, including my experience with Eat, Pray, Love, which you will love.

My dear Jetsetters, remember you don't have to hop on a plane or sail the sea to escape.

Lots of Love,

Have you ever thought it was time to live beautifully? It’s called The Science of Cellular Water™

Dr. Murad, Energetically Explains the Water Secret and What You Can Learn From Your Cells.

On a clear and cool Thursday night, El Segundo was abuzz with the reveal of a secret about water. I thank my dear friend Kim Shultz, who highly encouraged me to attend and learn more about improving what I am already doing to transform myself. Kim is a remarkable speech therapist who works with children at a local school.

Dr. Murad, launched his 10 week Inclusive Health program at the Murad Inclusive Spa in El Segundo, California. More than 250 people attended eager to learn more about how to transform their person from the inside out. This innovative program runs a series of tests that tell you what your cells say about you! Your cells talk? Apparently, technology has catapulted and yes they can and will tell you what you have done. The result is a number ranging from 0-100. As I sit in my office with a low-carb yogurt filled with almonds, flax seed and fresh berries and a tablespoon of olive oil alongside a bottle of water, I think “what would my cells say about me?” Everything is tailored to me! You have to love that. It is that spy or the fly on the wall that will talk. Jetsetters, our indulgent lifestyle may no longer be a secret. Caviar, sun, champagne and chocolate…. Oh no!

The Murad Inclusive Health program launch party included nutrient dense snacks to ensure everyone was alert and energized. The event’s attention to detail was complete with the spa signature orange and lemon ice water. Somehow, I still can't replicate that at home. I saw some familiar faces including an old friend and Murad esthetician, Rosa Ramirez, who gave me my first AHA Glycolic facial 15 years ago! Rosa still looks radiant and youthful. What a treat to see her last night. She is bilingual and perfect to take your jetsetter latina mom to. Call the spa, 310-726-0470.

As the event began in standing room only -- the suspense grew. “It is the water secret,” says Dr. Howard Murad, a pioneer in AHA and BHA skincare treatments and an award winning dermatologist.

Estheticians evaluated sun damage on spagoers' faces in a blue light device that spotted all the damaged areas. Amazing gifts were available in a drawing, which included two 10 week Inclusive Health programs. My friend Kim won one of the 10 week programs. Our little Naked Truth Girl Foursome (Kim, Ruby, Theresa and Me) couldn’t believe it as we cheered her in the front row. The prize valued at $1500.00 is a true gift for health and will tell Kim exactly what her cells need to maintain water in her body and help her stay youthful and energetic.

Kathleen Cox, an esthetician at Murad, was very kind to speak to Kim and our Naked Truth Girl Foursome about the benefits of the program. As she gave us her card she extended a sweet 10 percent off a future treatment with her! Kathleen’s vibrant passion about Murad was contagious. I just had to get a picture of her and Kim at the event. Kathleen motivated our foursome of girls to return and make a difference from the inside out. My sister, Ruby, is celebrating a mile-marker birthday (seriously its only 35) this month and feels she needs to integrate skincare at a more aggressive level. Ruby, Kathleen will strip your epidermis and reveal an amazing glow. If you want Kathleen to evaluate your skin email her and tell her dRV Public Relations sent you.

Dr. Murad is an amazing person who enjoys giving back to the community and will not hesitate to discuss how to improve your health, generate better skin through nutrition and the secret of water. Kim and Dr. Murad took a moment to pose for the cameras and showcase her winning program!

I also received a gift bag complete with an explanation of the Inclusive health program and a few product samples. As i got ready for bed, I lathered my eyes in the rich treatment night cream. Wrinkles and damage go away! Ok, so I am hooked and plan to return and to stock up on the Environmental Shield Vitamin C line of products. It has a lovely orange branding and smells so good.

As I embark in more activities through work at dRV Public Relations (which is a great place) a program such as this is interesting to integrate into my jetsetter lifestyle. Everyone needs to focus on making themselves a priority and ensuring they are happy to give back to everyone else around them. If you Jetset to the soccer fields or across the Atlantic, people depend on you. Improve yourself and others will benefit.

Kim, congratulations, I can’t wait to travel your "transformation journey" vicariously and learn about what your cells need.

Jetsetters, think about what your cells say about you and how you can live beautifully from the inside out. It’s more than topical! Until our next tryst!

Lots of love,
