We have so MUCH to talk about together on the blog this week with the Five Finalists from the Water Themed Photo Contest to getting your vote on a combo type of workshop to a new photo exercise for you to try! As Fay and Karen would say, “All kinds of delicious stuff happening this week!”

Aside from still not understanding San Francisco freeways, my weekend in Berkeley was wonderful. I was filled to the rim with rich conversation about being a wise woman in our life, love and leadership.

But nothing is ever richer then coming home to these three. Today I’m making this post short as I soak these three back in to my being.

Oh, I almost forgot. I had my first experience of a dog being thrilled to see me home again. Wow, these little pups can make you feel good! Rosie totally remembered me and went crazy happy when I came through the door! I have to admit how good that felt. I get dog owners even more!

Here is Pascaline taking Rosie swimming for the first time. If only swim classes for kids could go as fast as dogs learning to swim! I think Rosie had the whole swimming thing down in her first try!

Have a beautiful Monday.
