tgif + some hot air

June 25, 2010/ Brené Brown

So, what takes more courage: Floating 3,000 miles over Utah in a hot air balloon with Karen, or using this song for my video? Yes, it's straight from the jukebox of cheese - but I love it! Here's how I spent my morning:

Today:

I'm trusting that it's okay to stop and spend an hour floating through the air when there are a million things on my to-do list. (At 8AM I was trusting Logan - our handsome balloon pilot).

I'm grateful that I said, yes when Karen asked me if I wanted to join her for her life list adventure.

I'm inspired by the beauty of Utah and the lovely organizers of the EVO Conference.

Happy TGIF!

What are you trusting, grateful for, and inspired by?
