Be Inspired to ‘Bring Out the Gutsy in You’
Are you ready to take the next gutsy step in your life? I’m hosting an event in Orange County on Sept. 26 that will inspire you to act on that dream you’ve been holding inside.
I’m thrilled that author and intrepid traveler Marybeth Bond has agreed to be my keynote speaker for this launch party, which will introduce the My Gutsy Story® Anthology – the first book in the “Gutsy Anthology” series.
Marybeth Bond is a National Geographic author, contributor to LA Times, USA Today, PBS, CNN and guest on Oprah.
This event is free, and you’re invited.

When: September 26, 2013.
Where: Regency South Coast Village 3, 1561 W. Sunflower Avenue, Santa Ana, Calif. (MAP)
Time: 6 to 9 p.m. (Photos of where we shall be here.)
There is no charge for the event, whose theme is “Bring Out the Gutsy in You.” I hope attendees will be inspired to step out of their comfort zone, take risks and follow their passion.
Marybeth, known as “The Gutsy Traveler,” is the author of 12 National Geographic travel books, including two Gutsy Women books. She’s traveled to more than 100 countries. Two summers ago, she biked 3,115 miles across the United States with her 22-year-old daughter and raised $52,000 for women’s osteoporosis research. Marybeth’s goal is to encourage women to step out of their comfort zones and travel beyond the group tour.
You’ll also hear from a panel of authors featured in the My Gutsy Story® Anthology.
Moderator: Marla Miller, Author and founder of The Marketing Muse workshops
- Sonia Marsh: Award-winning author and founder of the My Gutsy Story® series.
- Linda Joy Myers: President of the National Association of Memoir Writers and co-president of the Women’s National Book Association, SF.
- Jason Matthews: Hosts a weekly Indie Authors Google+ Hangout, and is an e-publishing expert.
Marla Miller, will serve as moderator, asking questions about how to make “gutsy” happen. I’ll be one of the panelists, along with Linda Joy Myers, and Jason Matthews.
A percentage of the proceeds from book sales will go to WomanSage, which provides opportunities, experience and education to enhance and empower all women.
Please contribute to the PUBSLUSH Campaign to help support the event, and OFFER YOU REWARDS in exchange.

What an exciting event. I surely wish I could be there! I’ll be doing my own launch event on the other side of the country, but I will salute you and wish you well.
I know this will be wonderful and that you have found the Gutsy core of your mission in life.
You are also going to build a publishing dynasty. Mark my words.

Shirley,
I am so excited for you as well with the launch of “Blush.” I wish we could jump across the continent from one coast to the other. Next time.

This is wonderful Sonia! I wish I could be there. I agree with Shirley. Sonia is synonymous with gutsy and you are already a celebrity so the next step is dynasty. I’m thrilled to be in your “tribe”:-)
