There was no featured presenter at last week’s meeting.

The speaker was Ms. Patty Marlowe of Heartfelt Sedona. Patty was born in Ft. Sumner, NM, had loving parents, grew up in an 850 square foot, 2-bedroom house, was told she was beautiful and smart. The town had 2000 people at the time, and everyone knew everybody else’s business.

Patty married young, her husband was a shrimper, and took off to find shrimp. Then Patty found Steve, “the love of my life,” 44 years ago.

In 1974, she saw Art Linklater ask little children, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” They answered with the standards: policeman, fireman, nurse, etc., but the last little boy answered,: “OUTRAGEOUSLY HAPPY!” “It was a big moment in my life. It became my mantra, and sometimes I remind myself of it two or three times a day.

I’m 67 years old, have done 6 years of karate and other martial arts and went to pilot school.

Patty practiced real estate in California for years, and managed a Coldwell Banker office with 75 full-time agents. She still maintains real estate licenses in California and Arizona.

Her daughter, Shaun, has two daughters, and I have a great granson that is 11.”

At 50, her husband Steve decided to become a lawyer. “What a life!!!,”

Patty Marlowe beams at us, and we truly understand the name of her company, “Heartfelt of Sedona”.
