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.

Oh Maine. Today requires wine. And a land line. 😅 Oh Maine. Today requires wine. And a land line. 😅 

Since we had to hang out in the cottage for a while (that’s a long story), we decided a fire in the wood stove was necessary, too. 

Just going to watch the fog roll in to complete the mood. #maine

Good morning from Central Florida! Cool morning on Good morning from Central Florida! Cool morning on the lanai with a @dollyscupofambition in my coffee mug. The sun is peeking through the Spanish moss and palm trees, the birds are chirping their dawn greetings. A somewhat quiet start to a busy week! What’s brewing in your cup today? Anything exciting in the works?
From Wisconsin cheese and wine to conversations ab From Wisconsin cheese and wine to conversations about culinary travel, storytelling, and the future of travel media, this year’s @ifwtwa1 Conference in Milwaukee was full of opportunities to learn, connect, and be inspired.

One of my personal highlights was stepping into the role of speaker to present my workshop, Media Kits That Work: Turning Your Journey Into Opportunity. Sharing what I’ve learned over the years with fellow travel writers and content creators was both rewarding and a reminder of why I love this community.

Throughout the conference, we explored @wisconsincheese and @wisconsinwine offerings, learned more about @hollandamericaline culinary programs, and heard from talented chefs and industry leaders, including @chefpaulbartolotta . Of course, there were plenty of memorable meals and conversations along the way. All in the name of professional development, naturally. 😉

But perhaps the funniest twist of the conference came with the announcement of our 2027 destination: @visitcentralfl in Polk County!

After traveling to @visitmilwaukee for this year’s gathering, next year the conference is coming to the very county I now call home. Apparently, sometimes the best travel opportunities really are in your own backyard.

Grateful for the friendships, fresh perspectives, and inspiration I’m bringing home from Milwaukee. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Central Florida in 2027!

On my flight back to MCO I opened the pages of my On my flight back to MCO I opened the pages of my dear friend’s first fiction novel and couldn’t put it down. Can’t wait to finish reading the pages in my hand. It was just right for stepping away from electronics. Kudos @wanderwithwonder Susan Lanier-Graham (this should be made into a @hallmarkchannel movie)
