1. The Business Boutique Event in Phoenix
I flew to Phoenix last week for a few days to speak at the Business Boutique — a new event for women entrepreneurs from the Dave Ramsey team. It was a BLAST!
Not only did I love getting to meet so many amazing women and be inspired by other incredible speakers, I also was so honored to have the opportunity to share about a subject I’m intensely passionate about: monetizing your online platform.

Psst! If you live anywhere near Dallas, there are still a few tickets left for this weekend’s event! 3 reasons you should come:
1) It’s one of the most actionable and inspirational events for women in business I’ve ever attended.
2) It’s only $99 (that’s a STEAL for all the info you’ll take away from it!)
3) I’ll be speaking there — and I’d LOVE to meet you!
2. Hot Weather & Quiet By the Pool
While in Phoenix, I got to enjoy some time soaking up the sun and quiet by the pools at the hotel we were staying at. I ended up getting to swim a little all three days I was there. This was exciting and unexpected since I’m usually so busy at speaking events that all I get to do is speak, meet with people, eat, blog, and sleep. But this event had a little down time for speakers built in which was such a blessing and I soaked every bit of it up.
3. Golfing With Friends
After the conference was over, the four of us (me + two of our team + a friend) headed to Top Golf for a really fun evening. We laughed until we cried while playing the Wii, had yummy food, and I golfed for the very first time. (Yes, for real!)
I actually wasn’t half as bad as I thought I’d be at golf. In fact, I surprised myself by how much I loved it!
4. Colors of Goodbye book
On the flights to and from Phoenix, I read most of this book. It’s beautiful, heart-warming, touching, and inspiring.
It’s the story of walking through great loss and pain and seeing the beauty in the middle of the brokenness. Have you read it?
5. Milano Cookies
I woke up 4:45 am PST the first morning of the conference (thanks, time change!) and was so hungry but I didn’t have any food in my room other than the overpriced items in the hotel room mini bar and Milano cookies I had picked up at the store the night before for a special on-the-road snack. Guess what I chose to eat to hold me over until breakfast?? The cookies, of course!
So much for the post I wrote last week about food being fuel and making sure you fuel your body well… I guess I’ll make an exception. Because every once in awhile, it’s okay to have store bought cookies for breakfast. Especially when they are your very favorite in all the world cookies!
