Exciting Stuff!
I’m excited to be a special guest at Solo Traveler World’s Solo Traveler Insider year-end party, as a “most popular speaker” from this year’s Speaker Series. (OK, yes, I’m bragging and getting joy from it.)
I’ll be joining guests from around the world at the Dec. 15 virtual party. And, Grammy-featured musical guest ECHLO will give a live performance.

Loved the post and the photos!
And I’d like to be able to write a witty haiku in response…or perhaps steal one from Seuss.
But instead I’ll offer this; because your post reminds me of a quote by FDR, “Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.”
EnJOY the party!!!
