On to the next event …

September 25, 2012 by Patricia Sands Leave a Comment

We’ve exchanged whines for wine in our home today! Woohooooo!  I’ve climbed out the trench that has been my workplace for the past few weeks as I worked on the developmental edit of my new novel, The Promise of Provence. My long-suffering husband is discovering I am capable of more than muted one-syllable responses and I might even finish the book I began reading weeks ago. At least for this evening anyway …

Tomorrow is another day. Oh, yeah! Susan Sommers and I will drive to London in the afternoon  (an easy 1-1/2 hour drive from Toronto) to prepare for our presentation at the Power Of The Purse one-day women’s conference on Thursday. We’re looking forward to having dinner with the other speakers tomorrow evening and enjoying a schmoozefest with these dynamic women. Thursday is going to be an exciting and energizing day! If you are coming to the conference be sure to find us and stop for a chat!

Never a dull moment!

      The conference was excellent, Sheri. You know how it is when you get a few hundred interested and motivated women in a room. Pure energy!

    Sounds fabulous, The Promise of Provence I love the title and The Power of the Purse sounds like an energy boosting, motivating and inspirational conference, how wonderful that you are sharing your gift and your stories there Patricia! Have a delightful time mingling with all those fabulous women and can’t wait to read all about it. 🙂

    Ahhhhmazing!! I am with Tameri, wish we lived closer together so I could attend these fahhhbulous events with you! Have a GREAT time!!!

    I will actually BE in Toronto this coming weekend for the MADD Canada Leadership Conference. I would have tweeted to meet up but from the conference schedule, we’ll be going from 8 am to 9 pm every night. LOL!! Hectic and fabulous I am sure.

    Have a FANTASTIC conference yourself and can’t wait to hear all about it upon your return!!! Travel safe…

      Oh Natalie! I just read this now (Monday evening) … I’m so far behind with everything. Darn! That’s too bad because I would have come downtown and met you anyway … no matter what time!

      Thanks, Tele! What fun to have you back on land. I’ve been very much off the radar lately too so am scrambling to catch up now. So lovely to hear from you, my friend!
