SEE YOU TONIGHT, DENVER!!!
Hey Mountain Folk —
Here's a photo of me speaking yesterday at the (awesome!) Emerging Women conference in Boulder.
As you can see, I am wearing GREEN DRESS.
So you guys know what that means, right? If you're keeping track of the whole carry-on-luggage-only-book-tour-wardrobe-rotation? That's right: Tonight it's RED DRESS.
So come see me and RED DRESS this evening in Denver!
You can find all the details here, addition to info about all my upcoming events:

Big love, and see you there!

A friend of this page named Michelle sent me this today…I love it. It reminds me of my gardening mother's wise adage, which she used to tell us all the time when we were kids: "Every day that goes by that you do not touch the soil, you aren't really alive." The honeybees in this image also remind me of my father, a beekeeper, and brought me a memory of the sweet smell around our house every year around this time when Dad would extract the honey from the hives. I also remember the lazy buzzing sound of autumn bees so drunk on honey that they were rendered staggeringly and adorably harmless.
In other words, Michelle, you just gave a complete sensory 3D childhood earthy memory experience with this quote…and from right here in my hotel room on the road.
THANK YOU!

My favorite quote so far, especially since it's Girl's Day: "At no moment in history has a bright young girl with plenty of food and a good constitution perished from too much learning."

BRENÉ BROWN!
Dear Ones —
So I'm here in Boulder, CO. I'm speaking today (in just an hour or so, actually) at this great event called "Emerging Women". When I heard that the great Brené Brown would be speaking, I changed around my own tour schedule so I could fly in on time to hear her speak.
Oh, you guys, she's so great. Last night was one of those moments where you just feel like somebody has tapped open some lost valve in your heart, stuck in a funnel, and just poured you full of love and wisdom.
At some point while Brené was speaking, I almost got anxious, thinking "I wish I could be writing all this down, every word of it, hoarding it"…and then I just relaxed and thought, "Just let it wash over you." Which is probably about the time I started crying.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Brené's work, do go read her books. They will change you.
Or watch her famous TED speech, right here:

I felt like the luckiest person in the world last night, to be the one sitting in an audience in the dark, being moved and stirred and inspired.
And I love this photo. This is our kicking-ass posture.
And man, does she ever kick ass!
Onward!
