what you will learn

All of us have been in sticky situations.

Some situations you can look back on and laugh, however, some stories aren’t so funny, and most all are filled with fear, regret, or embarrassment. Through humorous stories, as well as heartbreaking ones, we can learn wonderful lessons in the oddest predicaments.

In a society where women are made to feel they must be strong and independent, we often find ourselves facing struggles alone and isolated. God did not intend for us to walk through our lives without support.

Join women from different backgrounds as they come together to share their own experiences of disappointment, discomfort, and determination, first-hand and in heartwarming detail. We hope that through their stories, you find you are not alone. Because we all struggle and we have all survived; we hope we can learn to struggle and survive together.

If you’ve been following along via my Stories, you If you’ve been following along via my Stories, you know we hopped a flight to Saint Lucia yesterday and took a five minute ride to @serenityatcbay - We originally had planned a family trip, but when an article assignment presented itself, we decided to combine business/leisure and arrived a few days early to get the job done. 

@dalpozzal is currently napping on the swing bed in our private beach cabana, and it is a well-deserved rest. He just completed his latest annual ground school and has been working hard flying everyone else to their vacations. It’s time for his, now.

I am so grateful for these types of moments and it reminds me of that balance I frequently refer to. As difficult as life can be, it is equally as beautiful. Today is one of those beautiful days. And I am pretty sure this whole week will follow suit.

I am looking forward to celebrating my uncle’s retirement and spending time with him, my sister-ain’t, and their best friends in a few days.

Until then, I’ll continue my “research” enjoying frozen drinks in my Stanley cup. #hosted

After the morning keynote at #STCGlobal I had a fe After the morning keynote at #STCGlobal I had a few minutes to check out some booths. Caught up with some New Englanders before the press events began. There was a Holland America Libe announcement I live-streamed for the @hollandamericafansofficial group I help manage, followed by an Alaska party and the kickoff reception featuring a mariachi band, paella, and maybe a few glasses of wine before the sun set. Tomorrow will be even busier but I have loved catching up with a few cruise industry friends!
This next session I attended at #stcglobal was mod This next session I attended at #stcglobal was moderated by @fran_golden_cruise - great discussion about private island destinations and this cruise trend for passengers. It isn’t about taking away from other port stops but more of an added value for guests. I’ll post more from the session later. So much goodness for future cruises!
