I wrote a post last week about practicing what you preach and today was the day of my big adventure. I expected to walk away from the conference feeling inspired and motivated. What I didn’t expect was a collision of synchronicities that turned today into a display of full-blown magic. Let me preface the story by … [Read more…]

As I mentioned on my meet wondergirl page, I’ve been on a journey of self-discovery these last two years.

While on vacation, I had the most wonderful lesson in being open and present.
