A huge thank you to Ashley at Centre for Women in Business, Megan and Bob at Invest Nova Scotia, Tracey, Karen and Lisa at East Hants & Districts Chamber of Commerce, Shaunna and Jocelyn at Atlantic Association of CBDCs, Donna at BNI Maritimes, and Bernice at Intentional Connection for making time to connect and learn more about me and my business.
So fabulous to reconnect with Marion and Ross from Government of Newfoundland and Labrador and Alyson of Bell Canada days.
I attended my first Canadian Association of Professional Speakers event which was amazing! Thank you to Nathalie, Tyler, Elizabeth, Corina, Faythe and others for welcoming me to this community. Excited to learn more about the business of keynoting from you.
A walk along the boardwalk in Sydney to see the Big Fiddle and side trips to Peggy’s Cove and Mahone Bay helped to provide a balance between always on-the-go and some downtime.
Grateful to celebrate my aunt’s life with family, and to connect with my son-in-law as he laid his grandfather to rest after he died suddenly early last week.
Overall, an emotional, productive, tiring, enjoyable week. Very happy to be 🏠 with my boys (hubby, Patches 🐈 and Pepper 🐈⬛). My heart is full. 💜
