An Amazing Day of Possibilities and Connecting

OK, so, today I went to a local Bed and Breakfast: the Astor House, to tour the facility as a possible site for my PJ Wake Up Call Party.  It was the most charming Victorian House in down town Green Bay.  But what REALLY got me...what hooked me, HEART AND SOUL, was the owner, Barb.

WOW!  Talk about a heart space of sharing and connectivity.  Barb is so a part of my heart song!  SHE ROCKS!  Barb lost her husband of 35 years last year, and at the age of 65 she is working to rebuild her life without her husband.  She is struggling to put it all together and to bring order to a business and a life that was thrown into chaos with his death.  She is gentle, and kind, and thoughtful, and dedicated.  Before he died she had worked full time in Madison as a senior events planner, employed by the county.  She loved her job!  Her husband worked full time at the B&B in Green Bay.  Because of the distance, Barb had an apartment in Madison that she would stay at during the week and then she would come back to Green Bay to stay with her husband and to help with the B&B on the weekends.  The Astor House was their collective labor of love, and it shows.  It is charming and eclectic.  I am sooooo EXCITED to be bringing the PJ Wake Up Call Party to the Astor House and to honor Barb, as well as show case her and her husband's life work as framed in this lovely B&B.
 
My heart sings with this project and the blessings that it brings,  I am excited for our PJ Party and the LOVE that this project holds.  Working on this project is so much FUN!  I can't wait until the event!  We will have the option of staying at the B&B.  There are 5 sleeping rooms.  The upstairs suite is perfect for gathering together, in our PJs in front of the fire and working on our journals.  I have found the PERFECT journal to give to those who participate as a point of rememberance - to carry them back to the event and the LOVE that was shared. 

In the morning we will awaken to the joy of the final exercises, and closing with a lovely breakfast, prepared by Barb for her guests.  It will be WONDERFUL!!  How amazing is that!?!?!
