Good morning blogland beauties! 

I wanted to update you a bit on my blogland absence...

I found it necessary to take a bit of a sabbatical. Taking time out for the big things in life is really important even though its not necessarily easy to find the time. 

Im glad to be back and have a new perspective!

 I've been talking with my closest friends about how as women that seem compelled to "do it all" we often feel overwhelmed but can't seem to stop the merry go round of life (sometimes we just need to give ourselves permission to soak in the tub and NOT answer the phone)!

You know the drill; kids, spouse, carpool, soccer, laundry, pets running a business and the list goes on and on. Well after a few giggles and laughs among us an amazing idea was born........as you know Launch Your Creativity is meant to inspire and encourage women to pursue their creative passions but its not easy for everyone to come to Southern California for the events,SO......I am so excited to tell you that "Truth Over Tea" a new video series is coming this Fall. More details will follow in the coming weeks. 

Im sure your heart will be encouraged as you hear what this amazing group of women have to say about juggling life! 

The amazing panel includes: 

Cheryl Turner, Paris In A Cup

Lidy Baars, French GardenHouse

Debi Ward-Kennedy, Author and Stylist

Sylvia Asmussen, Paris Cowgirl & Madam Palooza
