Dream It! Wish It! Do It!

Three months ago, I was feeling like I was missing something! With my previous job, I had a rich social life. I belonged to a wonderful group of supportive women who loved to have fun together. I felt very socially connected to them and they provided such a fun and invigorating part of my life! I missed my group terribly! And so “Invigorate Your Life” became the dream of an idea! I went on a quest to create an event for women who needed to connect for friendship, support and networking! I wished to connect entrepreneurs who worked from home, stay at home moms, empty-nesters and women who for some reason didn’t have lots of opportunities to connect with others.  I wanted to pamper them because self-care is the last thing we women think about!

I didn’t know if it would work! I experienced many agonizing hours thinking “What if it’s a bust?” But my vision became a reality when last Saturday I did it! At Invigorate Your Life, the speakers really connected with their audience! Speaking on how they had transformed their life were Nicole Gervais from Goodlife Fitness, Ann Bacciaglia, Founder of KickAss Ottawa and Angele Lafond, Founder of Shoe Box Be Gone as well as myself. I spoke about my experience, Invigorate Your Life with Real Food! I also got the opportunity to debut my new business, Sandra Butler Coaching. Women left the event having connected with other like-minded women and after having made a new friend or a new connection. The exhibitors took their job to heart and really gave the guests a morning to re-connect with themselves. Christine Tripp from Tripp Photography allowed the guests to let their sillies out by getting into costume while she took fun pictures. The guests let loose and even danced to the catchy, popular tune, Happy! (I hear there is a blackmail video out there of me!) Lots of guests left with a door prize which had been donated by many of our exhibitors and other wonderful, local businesses.

My dream became a reality and it was better than I could have imagined it! Dream It! Wish It! Do It! What dreams do you have and wish for that you want to make a reality? I can’t wait to “Invigorate Your Life” all over again soon!
