i got an envelope addressed to "ms. shadi a muklashy," which was a little insulting. inside were two complementary tickets (a $300 value!) to the "women's conference." apparently this conference features "6 of the greatest super stars all live and in person ... sharing with you their life changing stories and inspiring you to achieve your unlimited potential." and, quoting from the rest of the invitation:

at this once in a lifetime women's conference you will learn how to:

1. use the 7 keys to build lasting relationships at home and on the job.
2. apply the 21 secrets of self-discipline to always look and feel young.
3. be recognized and rewarded for your efforts.
4. buy real estate for 31%-48% below market value.
5. rapidly expand your circle of influence.
6. develop opportunities for networking.
7. use the top money-making secrets millionaires are using.
8. improve the quality of your life and the lives of your loved ones.
9. use the essential principles of highly successful women.
