Judy--
Maybe it's just because I'm here in Florida that I hear a lot about this company(for whatever reason), this is huge for Cathe!
This will give her the resources, etc., to expand and reach people in ways that she may not have been able to otherwise. I think that's why she wanted to make sure that they fully understand her and her goals--with the people that are have been actively, thru cathe.com or fit tv or whatever means, following her and and her workouts and enthusiasm for bettering ourselves in fitness or self-esteem or both(it's much more than that, but you get the drift).
I think that she wanted to make sure that we are not lost in the "shuffle" for lack of a better term, that including more of a corporate route to reach a larger group of people that might not otherwise have access to her, that we are not left behind and forgotten(something tells me that as able as she is to push us in these workouts when we don't think we can do one more step that it carries into the corporate world in a positive way!!)
In meeting her on the trip and the down to earth person she is, she would never let that happen, you just get that gut feeling from meeting her--she and her team light up a room like you can't imagine--they turn us into giggling, smiling goofballs that we can't believe would take the time to talk to us!
I've already thrown down the credit card gauntlet--let the games begin!!
Congratulations Cathe!!
