AE | The Weekend Lens
One of the biggest things I've learned over the past year is a very deep understanding of the importance of friends.
This past weekend featured an adventure to Portland to get together with some of those good friends (many of which were attending or speaking at Chris Guilbeau's World Domination Summit).
There was lots of talking (and more talking), eating, getting together with other friends, and then we went paddle-boarding on Sunday morning in the Willamette River.
It was a refueling emotionally and creatively and physically (loved going paddle-boarding for the first time).
To top it off I got to reconnect with an old friend I haven't seen in years.
And I felt so darn happy all weekend long.
Here's to finding the fun parts of yourself again.
What an awesome, awesome weekend for you, Ali. Isn't it wonderful to have the opportunity to be with other women and enjoy a special time and especially important for a busy mom! Laughter, talks, sharing...all precious!
