Cruising the Pacific Coast Highway

I was very fortunate to have spent several days in California last week attending a networking/marketing conference held by Wake Up Live.  I met a wonderful group of my Wake Up Women co-authors; we were all very happy to finally meet each other (after spending 12 weeks on weekly calls), we learned a lot about each other and enjoyed spending time together.  I am really looking forward to a continued connection with this dynamic group of women!

An exciting development for our book is that the galley copies (which we got our hands on over the weekend!) will be in attendance at the Emmy Awards this week!  Our publishers were taking them for promotional photographs with the actors attending the Emmies – can’t wait to see those pictures!

Cruising the Pacific Coast Highway

As an added bonus to the weekend, I rented a brand new Sebring convertible and spent a day cruising up the Pacific Coast Highway from Newport Beach to Santa Monica.

I had moments when I doubted my decision to do this on my own; parts of the highway were not the most scenic and I felt a little uncomfortable passing through some areas of some cities; I felt a little panicked when I found parking on Venice Beach to be VERY tight, and when I couldn’t figure out how to open the fuel cap while sitting at the gas pump (it was simple, really – but I couldn’t find it in the owner’s manual!!); then it was dark by the time I was driving around LAX to find the car rental return.

In the end, I did not regret my decision.  I’m glad I took the risk and am convinced that it was a very fun way to round out my trip!

A Coaching Moment:

• what is something you would LOVE to do?
• what’s holding you back from doing it?
• what support can you create around moving forward on your dream – just one little step?

Warm in sunny California,
