33 years ago I got a call from Chuck Norris’s office asking me to MC his inaugural Kick Drugs Out of America gala. Every year since, I’ve had the pleasure and honor of doing so.

Along the way, my husband and I developed a friendship with the legendary actor and martial artist, and his wife, .o.norris

The news of Chuck’s passing brings back a flood of cherished memories, many of them captured in the few photos and video I’m sharing here.

It’s hard to put into words the impact he made, the lives he touched, and indeed, the lives he changed.

The tributes pouring in from students who benefitted from Chuck’s program, now called Kickstart, will tell that story far better than I ever could.

One of my favorite parts of each gala follows the martial arts demonstration by students who gave their all performing in front of their black belt hero.

Chuck stands in front of the whole group as they greet and honor Grand Master Norris, repeating the values instilled in them as part of the curriculum: honesty, loyalty, courage, discipline, dedication, kindness, responsibility, and respect.

They bow.
He bows.
The reciprocal respect and love, palpable.

He then walks among the students, shaking their hands and offering words of encouragement. Quite often, the audience is moved to tears.

Chuck Norris was the real deal.

A larger than life movie star, to be sure.

But it’s the legacy of his humanity that will most endure.

Your rest is well deserved, my friend.

Lots of people have great ideas.
Few turn their vision into reality.

Courage. Grit. Intention. Clarity of purpose.
That’s what it takes.
That’s what embodies.
That’s why is no longer an idea.
It is a vision realized.

An AI-powered platform to ensure the world has centralized access to the most inspiring women of our time — and those in history.
Amplifying their stories, their wisdom, and their legacies.

To be in the room last weekend with fellow investors and founding members was uplifting and affirming.

To meet and learn from all the women who gathered to celebrate Marble’s launch was invigorating. turner Helen “Cokie” Cox, Patricia Lizarraga, Lindsay-Bell, Katherine Dean, Laura Henson, and so many more.

To conduct a fireside chat with Kristin, Marble’s visionary founder, was humbling and an honor.

To share it all with my friend of more than 20 years, Mireille Guiliano, the legendary CEO of for two decades and celebrated author, was icing on the cake.

thank you for introducing me to Kristin a few years ago at one of your signature Collaboration Circle dinners. You are the ultimate connector and a cherished friend.

From the breathtaking rooftop Greenhouse at to the toast with V***e Clicquot La Grande Dame Rosé 2015, to the spine-tingling performance of Kristin Hoffman, to the inspiring conversations and connections — the launch of Marble Collective was one for the record books.

Kristin Thomas, you’ve already accomplished so much more than most, and the best is yet to come. I am so proud to be on this journey with you and all of the remarkable women of Marble Collective. Let’s gooooo!!!!

“You Never Know” what life has in store.

Someday you might find yourself on stage in front of 800 people interviewing a Hollywood legend you’ve admired for years.

That was me yesterday at the 10th annual Power of Literacy luncheon. Having a fireside chat with Tom Selleck about his new memoir, “You Never Know.”

And how fitting that it was in honor of what would have been Barbara Bush’s 100th birthday. Another legend I had the privilege of interviewing and getting to know through the years.

Tom instantly put me at ease with his warm smile, turning my handshake greeting into a hug. From there, it felt like talking to an old friend.

From the start of his unlikely acting career, through Magnum PI, Blue Bloods, and everything in between — we covered a lot.

And when it was time to go, the audience showered him with thunderous applause and appreciation.

I received another warm embrace and a peck on my cheek.

If you’ve ever wondered whether Tom Selleck is as nice as he appears to be, the answer is Yes!

He’s one of the good guys. Humble, thoughtful, engaging, funny, not to mention enormously talented. A genuinely lovely human being.

And yes, I’m still pinching myself!
