I never posted about my trip to Portland with my long time friend and former V.T. Companion Marilee Stewart.
We have been friends for 8 years now and really enjoy each others company. Clear back in May or June of last year (2012), she asked me if I would come with her to Time Out For Women.
Those of you who know me well, know it is a hard thing for me to leave my family for very long, much less for an over-nighter. This time away, however, proved to be of great value for me and the things I learned from it.
Friday night was spent listening to motivational talks and music from President Oak's daughter, Jenny Baker. She is a superb concert violinist and played so beautifully. The following day was enjoyed with a talk from Sheri Dew, as well as a few other amazing speakers, with music by Hilary Weeks.
The talks were full of so much inspiration, but what touched me the most, was a song Hilary Weeks sang. It was the thing I needed to be reminded of the most. It actually caught me by surprise, the way it made me feel. The tears just came...
It reminded me that we need to just enjoy life. Not to let things get to us so much that we forget to recognize the joy.

Isn't this why they have "Time out for Women"?
