Postcards from the Past

My strength has never been looking back. I’m one of those insufferable people who declares that she seamlessly closes chapters never to look back again.  Everyone knows those experiences are always with us, so I woke up in the middle of last night realizing that I must add some special organizations and people that inspired me and touched my life.  I’ll add them randomly over time to my Links.  To get started with just a few:

I had the pleasure of spending a moment in time with The Light and Leadership Institute in Huaycan, Peru. It touched my life and I’ve watched them grow and expand their impact over the years. Someday I’ll hopefully go back. I certainly didn’t want to leave. http://www.lightandleadership.org/ 

I also had to add a new category called Special Places.  I’ve traveled a bit but there are those stand-out experiences that you know you could never replicate.  These are small businesses driven by inspirational people living their passion and purpose. And they are spectacularly special.  From a magical week in the Gobi desert to a special B&B in New Orleans to studying Spanish with a family in Peru to a yoga weekend in East Texas– each of these moments inspired me. My only regret is not buying that shirt that read, “Namaste, y’all.”
