    ******* Thank you for everyone’s support! The event has been postponed to the fall. Stay tuned for new dates ****** Invitation to my Kelowna/Okanagan network to join me next week at the Kelowna Chamber luncheon! Sometime in January, at the start of a fresh new year, I was bold and courageous and thought I’d suggest sharing a somewhat personal journey of pushing myself to the edges of my comfort zone. Eek... now it is here and next week! If you’re in Kelowna and have time next Wednesday to join me at the Chamber luncheon, I would love to fill the room with some familiar faces. Tickets need to be purchased by Friday. Here’s some more info:   https://lnkd.in/dnz3eBJJ
