Well, Tom orchestrated the most AMAZING surprise for me on day one of our family vacation. After 3 flights all arrived on time in Denver, our daughter, son in law, baby Enzo, Tom and I stopped in Golden, CO for lunch on our way to Keystone. 15 minutes into our lunch this adorable woman comes up to our table and says "are you Tracey Gates, the author?" I was completely taken aback and then she said " it's Meghan Rabbit". Meghan Rabbitt is the extraordinary contributing editor for Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper. She is the woman who literally changed my life when she got me published in The Sunday Paper. We have never met but I reached out to her on a whim a few years ago and Meghan liked my kindness mission and made one of my bucket list items happen. Tom had reached out to Meghan over a year ago trying to arrange a surprise meeting for me. She lives in Boulder with her fabulous husband and they drove a half hour to surprise me. I literally cried for one hour straight during our lunch with them. I actually could't stop! Meghan took a chance on me and my life and my kindness mission got a platform I never dreamed possible. She is as lovely, warm and kind as I imagined. Meghan published her own book this January that is a must read for all woman called "The New Rules of Woman's Health". Please support her as she supported me! Tom, I will cherish that surprise for the rest of my life!
