Coffee Conferences

June isn't just for weddings. Conferences abound during the month too. Rich and I drove south to Boca Raton for my fundraising conference and stopped to visit a friend he first met while teaching in Prague. Would you believe she lives a mile from where my conference was held? I was even more lucky to be invited to stay with her while Rich continued driving down for his conference in Key West.


You can see my reflection in the window as I sat outside one morning preparing for the day with a cup of coffee and my laptop. My hostess was delightful and fascinating and her house came complete with a cat and a dog, Pepper, who likes to play fetch in the pool.

The most inspiring part of my trip in Boca was the lounging lady at the end of the pool. The kitchen looked out over the pool and there she was, every day just as relaxed and loving life as she was the day before. Me too! I want that to be me too!
