Wow...it's been over a week since I got back from Danvers, just outside Boston, where our bi-annual Grand Convention was held and I'm still on a high from it. I finally got to meet my fellow Leadership Consultants and they are AMAZING, wonderful, beautiful women. I could not be more comfortable with them, or more excited about traveling this year knowing that we're in this together. Lindsay was my room mate at Convention and I can't imagine getting through recent events without her guidance and encouragement - these women are amazing.
Nothing opens your eyes to the "big picture" more than 300+ women, all members of A Dee Pi, ages 18-93, in one room, at one time. Meeting Grand Council, being there for the election of our new International Grand President...talking to past travelers and hearing of all the amazing things that could happen for us this year....It's all so fantastic!
I found out I'll travel District 3 - so basically Virginia and up the East Coast. I don't think I could be more excited. The cold weather will take some getting used to - if that's possible in a few month's time - but it's thinking about the experiences with the different chapter's I'll visit that keeps me floating on could 9.
There was not a presentation or a dinner that went by all week where I didn't tear up - it was amazing to see what amazing things my sisters and Alpha Delta Pi do for each other and our communities...I am priviledged to be a part of this sorority and I can't wait to give back in any and every way I can during my year of traveling.
