I apologize in advance for this super hurried post- I’m running around with my hair on fire today, trying to get everything ready for my trip to Santa Barbara tomorrow. UNITED 2014 starts on Sunday and I’m SO excited to be overwhelmed again. Hugs, smiles, a lot of laughs, and a ton of learning. It’s going to be amazing.

Also, I just found out yesterday that I’ll be going to WPPI this year, too! So if you’ll be at either UNITED or WPPI, please make sure to say hi- I’d love to see you! Now, I’m off for a Connection Mentoring session, one last stop at the JCrew outlet, and then back home to pack like a mad woman. This year, in an effort to MINIMIZE, I made the commitment to limiting any air travel to ONE carry-on and a personal item- no checked bags for me in 2014. That’ll be really interesting when I pack for a nearly two-week stint in Europe next month, but I’m sure I can make it work!

To the rest of you who are gearing up for either Santa Barbara or Vegas, happy packing! I cannot WAIT to see you all!!
