This is my final post on the More magazine Reinvention Convention.

The luncheon keynote was Dana Delaney, probably best known for her time on China Beach and most recently, Desperate Housewives. She was interviewed by Lee Woodruff and they discussed a lot of things, including the causes Delaney is passionate about, how she feels about injectables, etc and her passion for yoga. For the record, her skin is flawless and she looks fabulous. She had an awful experience with one cosmetic procedure and will do no more. “We all have faces that we earn,” she said.
Delaney knows a lot about yoga and the breathing techniques that come with it. Bottom line, yoga=better sex, according to her!
She also has a theory that a lot of her hot flashes went away when she took herself out of situations she did not want to be in. Mmmmmm – try it, who knows!?

Dana Delaney sat next to me during the next session – she was nice enough to take this photo and said she would leave her glasses on!
After lunch I went to listen to Jenny Sanford, former wife of South Carolina governor Mark Sanford. She was interviewed and answered the questions with grace and humility.

Here are some of the notes I took during Sanford’s interview:
– You can control you world (not his silly decisions)
– I chose not to let his actions make me a victim.
– Life is how you live it
– At the end of the day, what you have are your relationships – with yourself, family, friends…
– Know why you are doing something (Sanford said she wrote her book Staying True for other women)
– Don’t just survive, thrive
