📍Location: South St. Paul, Minnesota
💗 Favorite thing about WM: Meeting new people and sharing in their journey.
📚 Reading: I keep telling myself I'll only read one thing at a time but then ... I'm reading "The EMyth Revisited" by Michael Gerber, "Explore or Expire" by Tom Wiese and "Brooklyn" by Colm Toibin
✈️ Recent Travel: I just took my Girl Scout troop (9 teenagers and 4 adults) to Savannah, Ga., which is one of my favorite places and is the birthplace of Girl Scouts
🎤 Hidden Talent: I'm learning German. Not really a talent just yet but I'm getting better!
🥳 A recent "win" that you are celebrating: I deep cleaned my fridge when I returned from our trip since it was empty. A week later, I'm still opening it just to enjoy how clean and organized it is.
🛀 Favorite way to relax: Watching TV or digital scrapbooking
🎯 A goal for the upcoming year: open a retreat business and figure out how to make enough money to be worth the effort
