I was “ Moonstruck ” when the Empowerment Tour stopped in Portland, OR … not only by the chocolate store by that name, but also by the people who came for coaching. The tour was set up at a rotunda in the Pioneer Place Mall . We had the good (though dangerous for our waistline) fortune...

I got lost in the Mall of America. I expect that happens to lots of people. No wonder! It had five hundred specialty stores, fifty restaurants, seven nightclubs, fourteen movie theaters and an amusement park in the center.

I am curious as to why in some places, people don’t seem curious to find out what the Empowerment Tour is about. We were set up at the Greater Des Moines YMCA downtown by the river, and less than a handful of people stopped by. A few blocks away, there were crowds of people at a Farmer’s...
