Van, how absolutely lovely you are. Wonderful dress and of course always a source of wonderful support and inspiration.

I was wondering about how your food intake is. If I remember correctly, you have trouble with solids has that improved? My sister has been dealing with a stricture and has been on pureed foods for quite some time. I would love info on whats going on and what the original problem was/ is.

thanks Rain

You look fantastic as usual, Van. The only thing that could make it better is if you were to post a few pics of you lying on the beach in a bikini like you did... um.. maybe a year or so ago. Now THAT would be GREAT!

Okay, I was thinking about my conference trip to Florida in April and the very first person that I thought of and is anywhere near Orlando and Key West is Van. So, I'm thinking, how will I ever get in touch with her????? Then I come accross your beautiful picture and btw congratulations on your success. So, what are your plans for April?

Call out to you my friend...I arrive in Orlando April 18 and the 19th I can invite someone else to attend the conference opening at Epcot center all expenses paid. If you can make it on the 19th and are interested - privately email me, I give all the details. I would absolutely love to meet up with you. It's Sunday the 19th from 5:00 to 7:30 pm.

We are also taking extra time on the end side of the conference to travel to Key West, someplace I've never been before. I would love it if you could join us there too!

Let me know!
