I’ve been on vacation these past few days and can’t wait to tell you some things I learned while taking time off. (Funny how it works that way! When the vessel is empty …)
Also, I’m losing my mind NOT to tell you what I’m doing in Chicago on Monday. 🙂 But don’t worry, you’ll receive a full report next week!
And the best part of all is what YOU are up to! Below is a quick catch-up with a number of Women on Fire.
*This week’s Pinspiration*
Pin to share the love
You know I believe a “rising tide lifts all boats” and when one of us shares a joy or an accomplishment, it can inspire us all. So thank you to the women who shared your successes and congratulations to each of you.
Wendy DeSimone celebrating at the top of a high ropes course.
Wendy DeSimone of Northport, New York, recently celebrated her 50th birthday with her sister at the Miraval Resort and Spa in Arizona. During her five-day stay she opted into their adrenaline pumping challenges course of ropes and high wires that tested her limits and pushed her way beyond her comfort zone to 45 feet in the air to be exact!
Throughout her trip, she climbed up and ziplined off of a 45-foot telephone pole, balanced her way across a log 25 feet in the air, jumped from a 25-foot telephone pole.

After returning from Tucson, Wendy said “I truly felt like a Woman on Fire, from the top of my head all the way down to my toes.”
