Last night, Chris and I had the amazing opportunity to meet President Bill Clinton!!! Chris' former boss invited us to a reception at the St Regis to host the former President and his foundation:

The Clinton Foundation has done incredible work transforming ideas into action and taking a global stand in poverty alleviation, the eradication of AIDS and Malaria, to combat childhood obesity, and fight climate change. The results that the foundation achieved in 5 years is so remarkable because of the collective action brought forth from all citizens across the world!
The reception was in a very intimate setting, inside a Hotel Suite. I still can't believe that I was in his presence! I was so moved when I shook the President's hand...I said to him "You Are An Inspiration." His grip was so warm and confident, his aura peaceful yet commanding and quietly powerful. He looked me straight in the eye after he shook my hand and said, "Thank you, bless you."
I am moved by his call to action, his dedication to create new possibilities for the world and his love and passion for bringing people together to fight for the causes they believe in. What an extraordinary human being, what a HERO!
What is your cause - what is the possibility that you are creating for yourself?
