and awayyyy we go

Wow! what a difference a month makes!

I promise my future blog postings will not be so tardy. After an amazing week in New Orleans I was confined to the "black hole" of Paw Paw, MI for 9 days and didn't have internet access (except for the occasional slowww wireless to check important emails).

ZTA Convention 2010 was an unbelievable experience. I made so many great new friends (including 16 instant BFFs in my fellow TLC Sistas), I learned so much, and I truly 'Experienced the Sisterhood' in ways I never knew I could.

It's hard to explain how truly moving and inspiring Convention is to anyone who wasn't there, so I won't try and convince you. But after a week of of bonding with all my sisters both young (all the collegiate women there) and old (former national presidents of years past), I can truly say I know without a doubt that I am doing EXACTLY what I am supposed to be doing, traveling as a Leadership Consultant for ZTA.

So, after an equally but completely different amazing week with my Haley side of the family, I am spending my last 2 days saying my goodbyes (to mama, my JEMS and my second family the O'Sullivans), packing,packing (and more packing), and enjoying the peace and quiet before hitting the road running.

I leave on Friday for training in Indianapolis and couldn't be happier to REunite with my fellow TLC's (a.k.a the DREAM TEAM) These girls are the only ones who will truly know exactly what I'm going through this next year and our bond was instantaneous. Much like the bond I felt with the girls of my Eta Phi 07 pledge class, the 2010-2011 TLCs are a group of VERY different personalities but with a sisterhood unlike anything else. I love you girls already more than you know!

Thanks for patiently waiting for my update and as I said, I promise the next will be more timely (and even more fun-filled)!

As always, thank you all for your support and love.
