Let’s Welcome Dr. Yvonne Kaye!
This isn’t one of my more “normal” blogs (stop laughing at the normal comment), but I had to talk about Yvonne. Yvonne is one of the most interesting people I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet, having lived a very full and diverse life and kept a sense of humour (as she would spell it) about it all! She hails from England and was a war orphan, as was my mother. My mother was a bit older than she during the war, so it’s interesting to hear the differences. I have grown up hearing the war stories (my mother was from Belgium and so was invaded by the Germans very early on), and have enjoyed them immensely. Not enjoyed them in an entertainment manner, but enjoyed hearing history from the horse’s mouth, so to speak. My grandfather was a prisoner of war for almost the entire war, and my mother’s brother was forced to do – uh, let’s just say “interesting” things to help my mother, grandmother and other people during the war.
So speaking of helping people, Yvonne is the epitome of helping people. She has been a bereavement specialist, motivational speaker, humorist, author, columnist, businesswoman, spiritual coach, interfaith minister and women’s advocate. What hasn’t she done!!
If you would like to see this amazing woman in action, she is giving a free lecture on October 1, 2008, at 7:30 p.m. at Livengrin Foundation in their Shanahan Hall, 4833 Hulmeville Road, Bensalem, PA. (For Livengrin information, call 1-800-245-4746 x310.) The topic is Women in Focus – Why Rubens is my Favourite Artist – This is No Art Critique! This lecture is introducing her upcoming four-lecture series which you will not want to miss!
I hope you can carve out time to come spend an evening with Dr. Kaye. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me!

I have seen Dr. Yvonne Kaye in action and will spread the word about the October 1st event. My own mom is from London and also lived through the war. It gives one an entirely new perspective – and it is no wonder they turned to humour to try to alleviate some of the hardships. The war and its effect on them HAD to make them stronger women! I look forward to the event with Dr. Yvonne Kaye!
