Yes, I got up at 6:30am today (April 21, for the record). If you know me, that's way too early, especially because I go to bed in the madrugada (Spanish for wee hours of the morning).
What I loved about this day was that a collection of people who are important to me were collected in a room. I didn't even know Tonya would be there, so it was as exciting as seeing a rockstar!
In that conference room at Sparq, connections I've made led to attendance, and new connections will lead to coffee and discovery (and ideally, collaborations).
Afterward, Melissa and I went to the Chamber Lunch & Learn where one of my favorite people, Taryn Jerez of Go For It! Creative, led us in crafting a marketing plan in an hour.
While there, I connected with the fabulous staff of the Chamber, and then many people in the room. I point this out, since it brings me joy to see faces that share history and moments. I am a connector, so being the wingwoman with Melissa was satisfying as well.
So, at what point did I crash and take a nap, despite 4 cups of coffee? Around 2pm!
I exercised the breadth of my brand today, and I must say that my brain and heart were happy.
Do you ever have days like this? Where you get to tap into your diverse interests and talents and end the day with a smile?
