The sdp in Arizona!

OOOHHHH 

ARIZONA

!

            The sdp conference was amazing!  For those of you who missed it…….”Vision Board” your way to next years! I for one am inspired by all who attended. All these talented folks in one place is truly invigorating.

I’m finding it difficult to put into words how my journey there has touched my life.

            So often we let our fears and having to be uncomfortable keep us from experiencing life’s magic!

Let me tell you….I REALLY DON”T LIKE TO FLY AT ALL and I also DO NOT respond well to HOT WEATHER! So often we find as Entrepreneurs that we need to push ourselves past our comfort zones.

resort was the perfect setting. Thank you to the sdp Development Council and our founders

for the choice of venue.                                                                                                                                                As I was looking at my photos I saw so many connections to where we were physically to how many of us feel.

So often I feel that I have been in the desert. Then right there in the harshness we find extraordinary beauty and strength.

            There were so many nuggets of wisdom to learn from my fellow friends & colleagues that I had wished for more time. So many GREAT presenters, so little time. Mary Carol Garrity and Terri Bowersock were so generous to us. Truly amazing women. These two women were in their own deserts, yet they found a way to find strength & beauty.

            My business and myself always grow after attending The sdp conference. I try to put into action the things I have learned as soon as I can.

            I was so happy to be a part of the Accessory challenge. To work with other amazingly talented folks to bring together a room in 30 minutes is great fun. I felt like a kid again.

            For those of you who couldn’t be there, you were truly missed and it is my deepest wish that you will be able to join us next year!

            I’m now going to spend the rest of the day with my “boys”, my hubby & son!

My very best,

Hi everyone!
I have my first vision! I WILL be attending the SDP conference in Kansas City next year...and I can't wait!
It is so much fun to renew friendships and make new friends, with each of us sharing the same passion. I swear that the
creative enegy in the air was tangible.
I love gleaning new ideas, feeling the enthusiam and coming home with an "I can do it attitude".
Thanks to everyone who organized the event. It was awesome!
I really enjoyed the Conference center also with all its history.
The food was awesome and displayed so beautifully.

So now I'm home to reality with
a broken chopstick, many torn business cards and ... YES AND
...5 extra pounds!

Can't wait to see you all in Kansas City.

DesAnn said it all but it doesn't hurt to say again what a 'wonderful' conference this was.

It is so great for other business owners to come together and share their knowledge with those of us just getting started in this business. They help to educate and encourage us to move forward and not give up.

I have made great contacts and look forward to meeting with everyone next year.

Nicely said DesAnn,

I wanted to thank everyone personally as well for an awesome location selection and all the hard work that was put into the conference. I realized afterwards that it is truly a cummlative of events that one should walk away with not just one of the breakouts, but all of the events combined. I look forward to Kansas next year and extremely excited to visit Mary Carol Garrity's home. She is an amazing business person and extremely talented. We are all so fortunate for the SDP to have had her at the Conference this year...THANK YOU!
