I started blogging the other day and then I fell off. But I am now back, so let’s catch up.

Stopped by  Books and Books, Coral Gables  for  Carla Harris Book signing. For those of  you who  might not know her. Carla is one of Wall Street’s  most powerful women, a Super Star. Her Book  Expect To Win. Proven Strategies for Success from a Wall Street Vet. This book is a must read for anyone who want to succeed in business and life. One Tip from the book.  Be yourself. Let me know how you like this book.

I am out again, this time to Mansion Nightclub  to see a different fashion show produced  by Leah Kiss. Catch!. It started at midnight, Wow. So I went to sleep, woke to the alarm from my IPhone at 11:30pm. But then I fell asleep and did not wake up until 12:30 a.m. I got there at 1 am. I was back home at 2 am. The show was great. Thank Leah. But I am too old for late nights like that.

My monthly Women Series at The Ritz Carlton.  Serena Minotte Esq was amazing she shared her legal knowledge fully and passionately. You cannot imagine the energy. Women of all ages and enthicity all sharing and learning. It was so good to see Shaloma Shawmut Lessner. It felt like the young learning from the elders.

We are very happy we will be expanding into The Instute where we will have some serious classes just for women. There will be nothing like it in town. Stay tuned.

Went to Church at All Soul s Episcopal Church. It is so good to go to church and have a moment when you get centered. Nicest thing we had a full Cuban Brunch. Thanks to Berta Carral. Love the conversation during brunch. Would not miss it for the world.

Had the pleasure of been one of the Authors for the Caribbean Book and Art Fair. Such a pleasure to spend some time with the great Paule Marshall.

Paule Marshall was born as Paule Burke in 1929, in Brooklyn, New York. She visited her parents’ homeland, Barbados, for the first time at the age of nine. She graduated from Brooklyn College (1953) and conducted graduate studies at Hunter College (1955). Early on in her life, Marshall wrote a series of poems reflecting impressions of Barbados, later, she turned to fiction. She has published short stories and articles in various magazines. She is best known for her novels and collections of short stories: Brown Girl, Brownstones (1959), Soul Clap Hands and Sing (1961), The Chosen Place, the Timeless People (1969), Praisesong for the Widow (1983), Reena and Other Short Stories (1983),  and Daughters (1991). Marshall has lectured on black literature at universities and colleges such as Oxford University, Columbia University, Michigan State University, and Cornell University. She holds a distinguished chair in creative writing at New York University.

SISTERHOOD ALIVE AND WELL

Last Saturday got an invite to join Kathryn Sullivan and friends for wine tasting at her beautiful Condo. The wine was good and it flowed. Kathy is an amazing hostess. The food was great but it was the company that overwhelms me still. I cannot explain how warm and how special it felt. It is so powerful when women get together. You must try it sometimes. When you do let us know.

Kathy thanks for my gift.

Good luck and much support to Sherry Roberts running for Commisioner ,Miami Beach   

For today Sherry is having  a good time with her gift. Thanks to  Charlotte Libov  for taking the pictures. Ladies thanks for the laughs.

THE LADY LAWYER

I get a lot of questions about how a lawyer could defend criminals. Now most people want to know how I could defend Maria Catabay. There are no easy  answers. State v. Maria Catabay is a horrible case. Two very good people were killed execution style for no reasons.

You have to understand how I got this case. I  used to do a course in jail for women. My program is called Women Behind Bars. One day some of the women came to me and begged me to take Maria Catabay’s case. I thought about it long and hard then decided to take the case. I believe anyone charged with a crime deserved the best legal defense they can find.

I still believe that Maria did not intended for anyone to be killed. I too feel badly for the Jarrett family. But I had a job to do the best for my client.

My solemn promise to all my clients is to give them the best defense. The rest is up to the Jury.

Now what in store for the Lady Lawyer, I continue to defend women charged with horrible crimes,write my book and speak around the world.

UPDATE

Lisandra Cordova got out of Jail shortly after her testimony.

David Waksman the lead prosecutor has retired

J C  Fernandez is now competent to stand trial

Maria Catabay is appealing the verdict.
