Mental note: Favorite hotel is now The Allison in Newberg. No detail is overlooked–free snacks in the room, down pillows, fireplace, stunning bathroom, views of the vineyards. Really impressive.
I had the privilege of speaking at the Inspire & Aspire Women’s Conference at the hotel. I talked about the quiet courage and sacrifice of the women that came before me in my family and pose these questions: 1) Do those women matter today? 2) Will we matter tomorrow?
The answers? 1) Yes they matter! And 2) Gosh, I certainly hope so.
Our survival story has been playing out in our book, our speeches, and our ongoing recovery. Your survival story will be different. I encourage you all to ask these same questions of the people in your life. I also encourage you to consider your impact. How will you answer?
