August 2016 Sneak Peek Interview with Louise DuArt

The interview for the August Membership is one of the most delightful I have ever conducted.

I could hardly keep from bursting out laughing — and crying!

I am thrilled to introduce you to my friend Louise DuArt, the remarkable impressionist, comedian and actress.

WOF Sneak Peek Aug

 

As funny as Louise is, she is also one of the most inspiring individuals I know.

She was a shy child with a domineering mother. The one thing that set her apart was a knack for mimicking voices. Slipping into different characters became her escape.

As an adult, she took on the more traditional roles of wife and mother. Until one day, after 20 years of marriage, her world collapsed.

She seemed on the verge of losing everything.

Then, as she would describe it, God “ winked.”

Listen in as Louise describes the amazing sequence of events that launched her career:

In this interview I did with Louise on Martha’ s Vineyard, she tells jaw-dropping stories of what she calls the “ godwinks” in her life.

She also shares her heartfelt insights into how to live with faith and persistence until your dreams come true.

You’ll learn:

  • How to recognize a godwink and what they mean
  • The story of the teacher who set her on a pathway to success
  • What Louise does to get into the right mindset every day
  • Why she never gives up and what sustains her to keep going
  • The way she chooses and creates the characters who inhabit her act
  • Her beliefs and research on prayer and its power

Plus, you will meet a huge cast of celebrities who share Louise’ s world.  She brought Jane Fonda, Hillary Clinton, Barbra Streisand, Cher, Carol Burnett and many others to the studio with her!

  • The role that values play in her personal and professional success
  • How she coped with a divorce during a major downturn in her business

We have a sneak preview of what’s coming in the Women on Fire members’ care package for October!

If you attended the Women on Fire Retreat in Chicago a few months ago, and if you’re like most of the women who were there, you fell in love with keynote speaker Sheri Salata, the president of the Oprah Winfrey Network.

Who celebrates you?

Even though it’s not officially fall, today marks the day most of us say goodbye to summer.

And it’s also a special day here because it’s my husband Rob’s birthday. And I’m dying to show you his surprise!

He’s an amazing photographer and I thought he deserved a cake that was “picture perfect.”

The cake was so much fun and gave us so much joy (not to mention that it was delicious with gluten-free vanilla layers filled with chocolate ganache and vanilla mousse!)

The inspiring cake made me think of the many converations I’ve had with women who’ve discounted their tremendous creative gifts.

  • I just like to bake. There’s no money in that.
  • It’s what I do. Nothing special.
  • No one would be interested in what I have to offer; anyone can do that.

I don’t personally know the woman on Martha’s Vineyard — Cakes By Liz — who designed and made Rob’s unique cake. But I hope she knows that by sharing her gift with the world it created a ripple effect of joy and delight for us!

So the next time you choose to discount or ignore that thing that you love and do so well — please remember your gift, strength or talent means the world to the people waiting for it.

OK, today’s SPARK!  is about finding your “people” — or your tribe. What is the result for you when you answer these three simple questions?

 

Keep the quality of the people in your life high and notice the difference.

Last week I laughed at a post I saw on Facebook that illustrated the point of surrounding yourself with the best people.

It said: “I’d rather have four quarters than 100 pennies.”  To which, one very funny Woman on Fire wrote: “I’d rather have 100 quarters.” Agreed!

I wish you always to be surrounded by many great people who uplift you.  Have a fantastic week and keep me posted on you!

Love,

Debbie Signature
