I have so much to talk about today.
Last weekend I went to Omega Institute Lectures
"Women and Happiness"
It is sooooo what I needed to do.
I renewed my spirit.
The first night was Elizabeth Lesser opening up the workshop with some inspiration. Then she would read a passage from her book "Broken Open" and David Wilcox would sing a song.
It was lovely just hearing her read her words. Love that!
Saturday was Geneen Roth and Brene' Brown lectures. Awesome!!!
Sunday was the best for me the speaker was someone not known to me. Her name was Loung Ung.
Her story is so inspiring.
I openly weeped through the lecture.
Read her story here...
Courageous is all I can say.
I will be buying her book Lu Lu in the sky
It is a story of going from a bitter angry lost child to inspirational advocate of freedom, writer, entrepreneur.
She worked hard to find happiness.
But she found it!
So inspiring.
If she can find happiness. We can all find happiness.
I spent one of the most wonderful weekends with my daughter Nelly in NYC at this workshop. Just digging deep in many ways.
Speaking of Nelly she will be Guest Curator this coming week on Crescendoh
Please go and visit her and leave a comment. It starts on Monday!! So happy for her!
Also next week is a really big week for me.
I will be in my very first exhibit!!!
Yay!!!!
And you are all invited.
I am so excited!!!
Come and visit.
Three of my paintings will be there.
Also don't forget to visit all the artist at Paint Party Friday!
