Today, with my friend Debbie, I went to a Women in Business Leadership Conference sponsored by FedEx and held at the Ritz Carlton. The two keynote speakers were the authors of the book Leading from the Front Angie Morgan and Courtney Lynch, two former Marine Corps captains. Their message of becoming leaders in our lives, our businesses, and our families was powerful and inspiring. I'm energized and ready to make some changes in my life.
There were a few wonderful giveaways, including a grand prize gift certificate from the Ritz Carlton. Oh, and guess who won it? Me! We also received goody bags including products from Amore Pacific and cookies from The Best Cookie. What a fun day! To top it all off, I treated myself to a new pair of jeans.
Coming up next? A whole lotta new. All at once...no teasing or showing just one thing per hour. ;)

the birthday girl
I'm going to a birthday party for my friend Irene today. She's such a hoot! We call her the Diva, a name she's earned with her style and attitude. I'll bring my camera and take pictures of the party.
For her birthday, I made a tower of gifts. I didn't think to photograph any of the gifts before I wrapped them. The best gift is an extra long necklace with two gold puff hearts and a key. It's so beautiful. (I've requested one for Valentine's Day!) Most of the rest of the gifts are just for fun. I bought a set of body markers for a temporary tattoo (just in case she's always wanted a tattoo!), chocolate covered oreos, those things you put in the water that grow 6 times their original size, some fairy magic dust, a tee shirt that has "birthday girl" written in rhinestones, monogrammed post-it notes, and a few other things I can't remember.
Happy birthday, Diva, my friend!
