1- My heart is happy. Today was awesome. I led ~5 hours-worth of sessions and it honestly flew by. Our group has been gelling so well – conversations flowing so nicely. So many shared experiences and challenges.
We had a kickoff reception last night (dinner / drinks) and some people even went out afterward (impressive. Not me just because I wanted to be 100% in the morning).
Then AM beach yoga (sunrise!!!!), 3 hours of guided planning together, lunch, and 2 more hours. At least from my perspective it went FAST! I made it a combo of solo workbook time + group discussions, plus crowdsourced troubleshooting (ie if someone had a planning-related challenge everyone could contribute ideas). Everyone seemed really engaged which was thrilling and made it so much fun.
2- I am 99% sure I will do this again next year, so stay tuned for that!
3- I would love to share pix, but I want to get permission first so hopefully in the future.
4- Girl Next Door Podcast had a great episode on Early vs Night Owl Habits – it really made me think about how differently people can be wired in this regard! (I, along with Kelsey identify as an early bird. I am not someone who CAN’T sleep late but I have no trouble getting up early and really prefer it.)
5- Currently Reading: I have NOT enjoyed every single Kristin Hannah book I’ve read — but Winter Garden is my favorite by far. My MIL loved it and sent it to me because she was so excited to discuss, and now I can see why!
Incidentally, getting a book in the mail is fun. I think I will try to send out more books!
To anyone reading this who has been part of the fun in Ft Lauderdale, THANK YOU! I have had a blast and am so happy with how things have gone so far.

So happy you get to do this workshop. Sounds like so much fun!
This sounds amazing and I’m glad it’s going so well! I wanted to tell you that I kept coming across the term “quintile” in someone else’s blog, so I listened to your podcast about it (#36.) I had never listened before and your podcast is GREAT! I’m going to listen to more episodes, and I’ll also check out that GND episode- I just discovered them and have been enjoying them lately.
SO happy that BLP Live is going amazing! We all knew it would be a smashing success. ❤️
I also loved that Girl Next Door episode about early birds vs night owls. So fascinating!!!
How fun! Love your sweater – where is it from?
Quince!
