M crazy goal is that in the next 10 years I’ll make it to the list of World’s Most Powerful Women and then when you’ll come to interview me I’ll say ‘No’…..well I might say ‘Yes’ but you’ll have to wait till then to find out.

Rich, just a thought–if she’s a Chinese lady then you’ll likely need an introduction before she’ll feel comfortable speaking to you directly like that. Maybe next time you can find someone who knows her to give you a proper introduction.

On another note, I can relate to what you felt. “Pride comes before the fall” is something I’m reminded of over and over again. Over time, I’ve learned to relish falling flat on my face–there is so much to learn from it. I think people who are confident naturally need to bite the dust from time to time in order to stay on an even keel.

Hi Rich,

I was doing some research on J. Ulrich and read about your Am-Cham incident. Thanks for sharing; the world needs more people like you. I have some good stories like yours too, run-ins with famous ppl, etc. Perhaps we can share tales; shoot me an email whenevers.

Best, White Bruin (from SF)

@Bekka: I LOVE your big dreams. I have no doubt that you
are one powerful woman and you can create your world just
the way you want.

Hmmm… Humility. I work on that one too

@Monique: I prefer to think that there are 94 more amazing women
that I’ll interview before I go back to Jing! Lol!

Hi doll! Great connecting and scheming with u!

My dream: To be on local talkshow “A View From The Bay” sharing about green organizing and event production, and doing my rockstar organizer thing…perhaps with my book on the subject. And then doing the same thing on OPRAH.

Then having the bountiful abundance to travel for as long as I want to Africa and India to do service ( organizing, sound healing, bodywork, cradling and snuggling, cooking and feeding, listening, growing spirulina farms,for example) of all kinds with sick, dying (hiv), abandoned, starving, neglected human beings, especially children and mama’s.

I really can’t think of a fuck up right now. I guess I take it all as a learning experience and don’t dwell on it, to the point where I can’t even remember one. Whatever they are…they have to do with getting off hearing myself talk and not being humble.

Wow…that was fun getting clear on that! Thanks for asking the question.

Blessings and love, Bekka

you’re a rock star. i am so proud of all that you’re doing. this was a funny read. 95 out of 100, not too impressive…but in the context of all the powerful women in the WORLD…95 out of infinity, that’s pretty cool for her.

I loved your story and the five lessons learned are so true. Best of luck with your book.
