I love traveling and being exposed to the sites, sounds and tastes of different cultures. Being in the UAE gave me an opportunity to see luxury on a grand scale, down to the dates I was gifted from the concierge at The Burj Al Arab, which announces itself as the worlds most luxurious hotel. I have to admit those dates were different from any I had ever eaten; I think of them as the Kobe beef of dates. It seems as if they had been massaged, coddled and pampered all along the way from the tree to the gift box I received. But no matter how many gifts I receive, the biggest gift is the privilege of the platform and the opportunity to share my message with people from all over the world. I never take that lightly and am always grateful be have such an opportunity.
