Beth Aldrich, FHI Founder, author, Joan Borysenko, PhD and Karen Wicks (Beth's mom) at the Celebrate Your Life Conference in Phoenix.

How do you celebrate your life? I had a special weekend this past month with my mother, Karen Wicks, as we attended the Celebrate Your Life Conference in Phoenix. We had access to many inspiring authors and speakers as they shared insightful ways to live your life "full" and "alive".

Check out the write up from FHI writer/editor, Sharon Meyers as she shares some pretty neat information about one way you can celebrate "life" this week!

Just the Ticket for a Value Added Night Out that Showcases Women and Supports Dance
by Sharon Meyers

While many of us are optimistic about the future, the facts of the current economy are with us; we are all looking for real, solid value, even a great deal. So, it is refreshing to see a new photo art show that offers a full evening of admission, organic catering by Sweet Dreams Bakery, a hosted bar and two dance performances, all for just $20 in advance, $25 at the door. Students with ID are only $10. Opening Friday, November 21, 'Spirit & Movement: The Dancer Project in Sedona' also reveals real dedication to a dream. It represents a 20 year collaboration, love of dance and photographic imagery between Chicago businessman Joe Murphy and photographer Christine Tenenholtz that has now become a reality of grace, strength and beauty, embodied in nearly 50 images of dancers, photographed within the Red Rocks of Sedona. Murphy explains: "We spent nearly two weeks on site in Sedona to photography these dancers, who hiked two to three hours each day to get to areas between 4,000 and 5,000 feet in elevation for the images. The project was challenging, because the dancers were photographed in natural lighton site; mornings were often 30 degrees and yet afternoon temperatures climbed to over 100 degrees. This is the first time anything of this scale has been attempted with dancers within the open space of the Red Rock; we are showcasing these fine art photo images to the public for the first time in this exhibition opening."And, in these challenging times, this show is giving back to the community. Ticket sales and live auction of two photos, along with a limited edition Andy Warhol print all benefit DanceWorks Chicago.

Go. Be Inspired. Support the Arts. Have a great time at great value!
