I remember
my beautiful mother Ariel, who doubled in my life as one of my greatest
spiritual teachers, sharing with me that there would be time of intense stress
that would bring up people’s fears. She
further shared that this would be the moment when we would need to be extremely
practiced at being able to stay connected to who we truly are, which is simply
love. My mother would continuously share
with me that part of our mission on the planet is to completely identify with
love not fear, to choose embracing an open heart and not ego.
I understand
all too well that this is easier said than done. My mother understood that as well. Perhaps that is why in 1995 we created our
family business, Mishka Productions.
Ariel was a firm believer in spiritual education and wanted to do
something to help shift and uplift the consciousness of the planet. She and I embarked on developing workshops
and conferences with teachers who embraced like-minded concepts.

For many
years, we created one event a month and then in 2002, she and I created an
event that to this day brings people from all over the world to
participate. We decided to bring
together over 20 of the country’s top bestselling authors and most sought after
spiritual teachers to present workshops and keynote lectures for an entire four
days. When we started the event we had
no idea the magnificence in what we were creating. My mother appropriately
named this event, “Celebrate Your Life!”
Although my
beautiful mother transitioned in 2009, I have continued to move forward with
our mission. We have continued
presenting the Celebrate Your Life conference in Arizona and Chicago. The 6th annual Celebrate Your Life
Chicago will be on June 8-10, 2012. This
is quite an accomplishment for two Jewish girls who got started with a phone
line in her dining room.
There are
moments when organizing an event of this magnitude can be tiring, however what
keeps me going are all the life-changing and inspiring comments we receive from
attendees. Here is something from a
conference attendee:
“Celebrate Your Life is my gift to
myself. I consider this conference "food for the soul".
It renews my spirit, and I end it every year feeling euphoric.” – Janice
Z.
Our next
conference in June takes place in Chicago and features bestselling authors,
Marianne Williamson, don Miguel Ruiz, James Van Praagh, Neale Donald Waslch,
Caroline Myss, Michael Beckwith, James Redfield, Barbara Marx Hubbard and so
many more powerful life-changing presenters.
