Living Your Dream
Did you ever have something that you've always wanted to accomplish but didn't know how? Regardless of how big or small, independent of what other people have said? Have you ever had something burning inside of you that you've wanted to manifest, but were stopped due to concerns be it - how you're going to make it happen or how you'll be perceived? In this session, you will be inspired by an enigmatic speaker who has manifested her dream by creating an international organization empowering people, children and communities, after having lost everything in Hurricane Katrina. You will walk away motivated, clear, and empowered to "Live Your Dream."
