Women Wine and Wellness – March 2012

Date: Thursday, March 22, 2012 Location: A Touch for Wellness – 10050 Ralston Rd Suite A, Arvada, CO 80004 Time: 6:30 p.m. Barb’s Topic:  Be Brave One New Year’s Eve Barb Tobias wrote down and committed to one resolution … “Be Brave”. This one pact changed her life.  She implores others to invest in its power.  Her energy is infectious, inspiring people to go beyond their boundaries, to get uncomfortable, to strive and push … while being gentle with themselves.  She uses humor, stories and energy to spur her audiences to think, reflect and commit to doing one thing that will change their lives forever.  Be brave, she dares them … trust that step into the void. Mark Twain said, “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born, and the day you find out WHY. “  Impacting the lives of women is her “why,” as she reaches across the globe making a difference … one woman at a time.
