It was 6:25 am when I left San Francisco to head to Vermont to keynote the women’s conference Zest Fest. My Virgin America flight to Boston went smoothly enough, and in spite of the gusty winds, dense fog, and heavy rain, the plane landed with just a few bumps. But it turns out I only had an hour to transfer to my connecting flight, a little puddle jumper that would take me to Lebanon, New Hampshire, where the conference coordinator would pick me up and drive me to Fairlee, Vermont.

Melbourne, Australia has a lot of things going for it – beautiful scenery, warm people, crazy accents. But for my partner, Kathleen, one draw eclipsed all others – Roger Federer.
Kathleen feels about tennis the way other people feel about motorcycles or wine – it is a way of life for her. And Roger, as we call him, is the crown jewel of that passion. So when Kathleen came to me in December and pled her case (“Roger might retire soon! This may be my last chance to see him play!”), I couldn’t say no. So we packed up, hopped an 18-hour flight, and staked out Roger’s favorite restaurants when we weren’t watching him on the court.
But for all the amazing things Melbourne has going for it, our two-week excursion had the potential to derail the self-care routine I’ve been dedicated to for years.

I’m no consultant, but from time to time (as in, several times a day) people ask for my opinion about building some kind of online business. I’m happy to give $0.02 for whatever it’s worth, and I’m sure there are times when it’s not worth more than that.

I knew his idea wasn’t going away when I saw him showing my three and five year-olds pictures of RV rentals online. “Come on, it will be fun…we can even bring our dog!” The three of them seemed so excited about the possibility, I couldn’t refuse them. I swallowed hard and gave two thumbs up.

I’m just back from Santorini, Greece. I was there for a little over a week on a yoga retreat. The retreat itself was just okay, though I found that the work I did on myself was far more helpful. The whole time I was in Greece, I felt myself calling love. Everywhere I went there seemed to be references to love and relationships, to renewal and the embracing of change. I discovered that over the last few years, despite my desire for love, I have been afraid to love.

Hello there, and welcome to the world of Owning Pink. I hope you find what you need here, no matter what it is. I am thrilled and honored to be an Owning Pink writer.
While I don’t consider myself to be an expert at anything, I have had many experiences in the realm of spirituality.
Read More...Three months ago, I decided my dream life would be to travel the United States, seeing new places, people, and things and taking in all the different lifestyles along the way. Seeing as how I work for Owning Pink (from my computer) and have relationships with men and women all over the country (or world, for that matter,) through the Online Pink Community, I had the resources and means to do just that. On February 16, 2010 I took off on The Magical Eyes Tour leaving Dallas, Texas and heading toward Northern California- mapping it out as I went; living my dream life.
