Putting it All Together
It’s hard letting go at any age. I remember it being particularly difficult at 5, 11, 16, 20. Looking back it was about every 4-6 years! Each time it felt like they were going FOREVER! I realized they are like boomerangs! They return when you throw them! They can’t return if they’re not thrown!

I was recently at an event where Ellyn Spragins, author of Letters To My Younger Self, spoke to a group of Women Entrepreneurs at the BIG Summer Summit at Skylands Castle on July 22, 2010. Her wisdom and experience spoke from the heart to ALL of us.
