I've been traveling a lot lately and thought I had adjusted to the rigors of the work.  Then this last week really took the cake.  It began with me awakening on Monday morning at 4:00 am for a 6:00 am flight to Michigan.   The flight was late departing.

On Tuesday evening I had to take a connecting flight to get to my next engagement.  To make a long story short, I didn't arrive at my hotel until 1:30 am.  Got to bed at 2:00 am and arose at 5:30 am to deliver my Leadership Skills for Women seminar.   I was welcomed by the attendees and received positive feedback from them.  If only that was all for the week.  But no there was more to come.

The League of Black Women 2007 conference "Strategic Power Plays" started with a wonderful reception and a presentation of the 2007 Black Rose Award to NASA Astronaut Joan Higginbotham. As she shared the story of her journey from her hometown of Chicago, Illinois to the Kennedy Space Center, I realized how far we have come as women of color.
