We dreamed of Downton Abbey meeting the beautiful tropics... and we experienced it with this part one of our three-day event. Sara built an inspiration board around it, Pinterest inspired us, and the creative team drew a dream into reality.
It's hard to put into words how this event and experience changed my life way beyond the professional, but into the personal realm. It may have started out with a tweet, but it now continues with future adventures, cat mom socks twins, Hemingway to my Radcliffe, collaborative partnerships, and one special friendship.
And like all poignant moments of my always-a-literary-reference life, I feel only Jane Austen has the words for this:
"There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature." ― Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
