Step by Step

My memory fails me - but I vaguely remember a Huey Lewis song when I was in college with a lyric about step by step. It's playing like an earworm in my head right now. A good feeling really.

The logo for the conference is done. I'm making some progress on building the website and hope to have that and the registration forms all done by this time next week. Nothing is ever quite as easy as it looks, which is sometimes very frustrating for a determined person like me.

Probably most exciting though is the line-up of experts that are finalizing their commitment to this event and their enthusiasm. Makes me think of the movie "Field of Dreams".

"If you build it - they will come." Well the speakers are coming. And soon enough hopefully some participants will be coming too.

Blocks to Stones?

I like being barefoot - there is something freeing about it. There is also a risk - I stub my toes a lot and hate the painful sensation associated with it.

Seems life is a lot that way too. I really like living. . . just every now and again something comes along that totally derails what I thought would be "the Plan". Those experiences hurt. Although I'm beginning to see that what seems like stumbling blocks are actually stepping stones. What seems like obstacles are actually opportunities in disguise. It's a matter of finding resources, trusting my intuition, and setting intentions.

I've found a lot of good resources in recent years and have been inspired to share them. So I am planning a conference for women this November 14 called Stumbling Blocks to Stepping Stones.

I'll be posting more to let people know what it's about and how they can take part.

Right now, I'm just feeling blessed to be able to take some action to hopefully help others who have stubbed their toes and need a little extra help.
