My Time in Vancouver

Vancouver, you are stunning — the mountains, the ocean, the food, the culture, the architecture..., the PEOPLE. Beyond grateful for the constant reminders that we — personally and professionally — are made for CONNECTION.

As many differences as we all have, we have SO MUCH in common. Being part of the Sisters in Symphony Summit with @262womensproject and connecting on a deeper level with more women — willing to “Show Up, Step Up, Speak Up”, and GROW their God given gifts to make a POSITIVE difference, was truly a gift.

The opportunity to support Ocean - such a talented, young designer with his very first runway event featuring @natsukashiiink_nii artwork and clothing line - was a complete BLAST!

In business and life, growing deeper connections doesn’t always come easy — we’re required to STEP into the unknown, TRUST the unfamiliar, and GROW our comfort zones. When we step into new places, new rooms, new adventures,...new conversations..., we GROW OURSELVES and our IMPACT.

CONNECTION is not just part of the work… connection IS THE WORK. Opening our hearts and minds for real conversation, being active listeners, putting fear aside, these ‘things’ allow for more UNDERSTANDING, healing, collaboration, and growth on all levels.

Thank you, Father, thank you @debdrummond_official, and thank you to all involved. I cannot wait to share and grow more together! Thank you Vancouver 💙
