"If you hold on to the handle, she said, it's easier to
maintain the illusion of control.
But it's more fun if you just let the wind carry you." -StoryPeople
Being in sales for the better part of 20 years I am nothing if
not persistent. I was never one of those 'in your face'
sales people but my knowledge, patience, care, professionalism and
most of all, persistence brought me great success in the corporate
world. I have been trying to add Brian Andreas and the
StoryPeople collection to La Muse beginning 6 months before I even
opened the doors ... and I am proud to say that on Friday a
boatload of StoryPeople goodies will be delivered to our front
door! Woo Hoo. For those of you who aren't familiar with
StoryPeople - here's a line taken from their website
"Our wish is that other people experience this amazing world we
live in as a world of imagination & possibility & healing." How
La Muse is that? The crew uses vibrant color and images to tell
their wonderful stories through books, prints, cards and
sculptures. Come on down to La Muse and take a peek into the
world of Brian Andreas and StoryPeople. For those of you that do
not live in the area a full collection is offered on the
StoryPeople website.

Join Debra & La Muse in the fight against
Breast Cancer:
I am oh so excited to tell you that
just yesterday I committed to walk 60 miles October 3-5 in
support of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation! La
Muse is putting a team together and we're looking for
members, not just from our area but anyone from around the
country who would like to join us! Take advantage of the
beautiful DC fall weather and come visit us. Let's have fun
with this! Please visit
3 Day La Muse to see what I've
posted so far. If you're not all that jazzed about walking
60 miles please consider supporting my efforts by donating
(since I just signed up I'm at a big fat zero at the moment
and can use all the help I can get!) 3

Stuff
to Share:
FREE MUSIC
Two weeks ago I discovered an AWESOME free
on-line music service called
Pandora.com. Until now I was paying
each month to listen to XM radio on my computer -
it's a nominal fee that I didn't mind paying but
they tend to play the same songs over again and
you have no say in the music selection. Enter
Pandora; not only is it free but they build your
own personal radio station around the artist or
song that you designate. Check it out!
WANT TO GET AWAY? Here's an awesome
deal! Months ago I booked a timeshare
for Myrtle Beach February 29-March 7. Since
I found a 'too good to pass up' deal to go to
Ireland instead I am offering the timeshare on
eBay. It is a 2 bedroom condo at Marriott's
OceanWatch Villas at Grand Dunes which is on the
same property as their resort and spa. It sells
for $275.00 per night plus tax for those dates
on the Marriott website. A perfect early
spring retreat for the golf lovers and spa goers
in the family.
