Thank You Chicago!

I left Chicago this morning and now I'm in San Francisco preparing for my next event but I had to jump on quickly to THANK YOU CHIGAGO for such a warm and enthusiastic welcome to your city! The event was so nice and I loved how cozy everyone was on all of the beautiful sofas and chairs that Anthropologie set up for us munching snacks and listening intently to my presentation - it was such a nice group!

The set up, food & drinks, the mood board and "play stuff", my signing table... everything was done with such care by the staff at Anthropologie. It was so nice to meet everyone and I'm really looking forward the San Francisco event tomorrow night! I want to thank my special guest, Nicole Balch, for speaking at the Chicago event last night and for helping me as I went through my presentation by pinning things on the board as I talked. Nicole is such a nice person, really genuine and intelligent -- I am honored that I was able to finally meet her after only knowing her online for all of these years.

Thank you again Chicago for the nice welcome, a special thanks to Anthropologie, and a big hug to everyone who came to get your book signed. I had a great time and really enjoyed meeting so many of you in person. xooxo
