Hello, friends! I’ve been traveling this morning. I left New Jersey in the wee hours of the morning & hopped on a plane to Charlotte, North Carolina. From here, I’m headed to my final destination, San Antonio, Texas! I’ve got a speaking engagement tomorrow morning. (The talk is about Living & Leading with Passion.)
I’m really looking forward to it. Sometimes, like right now, I have to stop & pinch myself. Someone is really paying for me to fly across the country & speak to their group about a topic that I love so much?! I sure am a lucky gal.
I miss home already, but I remember… A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are made for. 😉
Every Friday, I post my favourite links, posts, & resources from around the Web. Expect to learn, grow, & be inspired.

1. The Rebel’s Manifesto: “1. Do the opposite of what you were taught in school.” This is just chock-full of superb advice.
4. Post Secret: If you are one of the ten people left on Earth that isn’t following Post Secret, then I suggest you start now. 😉 PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard. It is completely ad-free & gets updated every Sunday. It’s incredible.
5. A critical message about food. Yes, it is a bit lengthy, but worth every moment of your time.
Additionally, last week I watched Food, Inc. and to say that my perception about food is drastically altered would be a catastrophic understatement. Every single person living in the USA (perhaps others, too) must watch this film.
6. A happy mayor: “Not only is Mayor Hazel McCallionhappy of the City of Mississauga in Canada happy at work, she is also 88 years old, has been elected 11 times, has a 91% approval rating AND has kept her city debt-free.” Dear Heaven: Give me a fraction of this woman’s health, enthusiasm, and spirit! I’ll be set forever.
7. The Crushing Problem of Student Debt: Excellent post about the growing problem of student loan debt faced by so many Americans. This is an excellent follow-up to my two part series about my own financialjourney.
8. Overcoming Fear: I write about overcoming fear quite a bit here; but every now & then it is nice to hear someone else’s perspective on the subject. I really enjoyed this post about overcoming fear, particularly Jared’s personal story about where he allowed fear to take him in his own life.
10. Renegade Health Care Reform: Don’t worry, I haven’t gone all political on you! Just click it. I’m sure you’ll agree, no matter which side of the fence you’re standing on.
To all of my friends that celebrate Easter, may your Easter be filled with love & light. To all of my friends who do not, may your weekend be full of passion & grace. xo

Sweet Dena,
How exciting this is! You get to share what is important to you. Go on little lady. You are leaving gold dust on your way.
