Making a good life since 2010

Ready, Set, Achieve Altitude!

I am in Los Angeles after a few days spent spreading love and sparkles for a dear friend, now I am all checked in and preparing to lift-off for Altitude Design Summit. When this post goes out to our mailing list in the morning I will be standing on the podium with my beautiful panel members kicking off the first panel of the conference on Getting Past Zero (my piece is allll about community building!). Right now my heart is swirling with anticipation, excitement, and a wee bit of knee-knocking ohmygoodnessisthisreallyhappeningness. Before I close up my computer and get ready to board the airplane I wanted to thank each and every one of you for your support and belief in me. You have made my speaking at this event possible because of your willingness to join me in playfully creative community building and I am forever grateful to you all. I am so honoured to have this chance to speak to a topic that I am so passionate about! Since I can’t bring all of you with me to be my personal cheerleading squad I wanted to share the ebook of our presentation I created for our panel, that way I can have you along for the ride in spirit if not in person.

Getting Past Zero, Altitude Design Summit

Thank you dear friends for being my safety net, my reminder of greatness, my push to dream bigger, my hug when I’m terrified, my safe place to share my story, my community of goodness, my people to serve. You have taught me to be great and I love you all! Now ready, set, lift off!
