Good bye India. I will be back.

More beautiful women of Nomi. Women who have never had life goals, now have career goals. Woman who were illiterate now can write and get a job. They are women who are going back to their communities and sharing their knowledge and skills to better others lives. They are women who are encouraging other women to place value on themselves as they now do.

Coro-NO-NO-virus. Not taking any chances.

This was just the beginning of an inspiring week.

Love my office space.

“Get to Know Me”...thank you Chicago for such a fabulous turnout and growing support. And thank you Barton G for creating such a beautiful venue and showstopper eats and drinks. And did I mention out dedicated board members who joined from the coasts?!? Join the Chicago Project to support a cohort of women move through the Nomi training program in India. @ Barton G.

Went to the American Craft Council show yesterday at River Centre in St. Paul. So much beautiful jewelry, leatherwork, woodwork, clothing, pottery...and brooms. Yes, I bought a broom. 3 actually. And they’re beautiful. I am clearly very pleased with my broom. So go to the ACC( ) show today to look at Hannah B Quinn’s ( ) beautiful handmade brooms. Or the other artisan’s clothing or jewelry or pottery. Whatever gets you to smile.

Someone around here must be Irish.

Nothing like getting on the plane and discovering a maintenance guy has your seat totally torn apart. 10 min later all was good and I could recline. Good thing he was fast cuz all flights after mine on United from ORD to LGA were cancelled.

Not a bad view for my morning coffee.

“Sweatpants are a sign of defeat.” Rest In Peace Karl Lagerfeld. Thank you for the beauty you added to the world and for all the things you said, good and bad, that made us think and debate.

Sweets and flowers crafts...workplace happiness. @ Industrious Minneapolis North Loop
