girls' lunch

I played hookey on Friday and went to lunch. I suppose you could call it a networking lunch so maybe that counts as work. The emphasis wasn't really networking but getting a group of gorgeous women together.

Although I love people, I'm often not overly social. I see a handful of good friends and spend lots of time with my own little family and that generally keeps me busy enough. But over the past few years I've met some wonderful women and I felt it was worth bringing them together.

They have things in common - all are business women, most working in small creative businesses and each is a warm, interesting and vibrant woman. So I invited them to lunch. Every one of them said yes which was a lesson in itself. I'm sometimes hesitant to be the organiser of things. But I did it and I'm so pleased...it was one of those truly memorable days.

I knew everyone but they were strangers to each other. Yet the conversation flowed and as I had guessed, we had much in common.

Apart from the fact that the day was uplifting, it felt like another sign that I'm in the right place. With the right people. Hopefully...doing the right things.
