Time Out!

Last weekend I was able to attend Time Out For Women. This year’s theme was ‘Infinite Hope’. It was a great experience. If you have never gone to Time Out For Women, you should definitely check it out. It is a Friday night and Saturday filled with uplifting and inspiring talks and music, as well as plenty of laughs, too. We went last year, and I think it was even better this year!

There were so many great speakers that said so many great things. But, I will only post one little tidbit each speaker said. Hopefully something posted will touch your heart and help you out today. By the way, Pam, when I was taking pictures of each speaker I totally had it in my mind to do this, but then you beat me to it! Oh well…great minds think alike, I guess. ;)

Like I said, it was a great event. All the speakers and performers were great.

During the lunch break we had a little picnic at a table outside of the convention center. The weather was perfect, as well as the company. I can’t wait to go next year!
