Be Who You Are

Author: admin

Last Wednesday I attended the California Conference for Women. The theme for this years event was “Be Who You Are. Feel it. Live it. Pass it on. This event is the largest of its kind in the country with the goal to educate and inspire women from all walks of life. Hosted by California’s First Lady, Maria Schriver and some of the notable speakers were; Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger & Warren Buffet who discussed the state of the economy. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, CNN’s Christiane Amanpour and many more. What I took away from the day was feeling more empowered and focused and a desire to connect and inspire other like-minded women.

Some of the comments that I found most thought provoking for me were;

“It can take a really long time to be the person you want to be”

“What are you going to do with your one wild and precious life?”

“Fear keeps us from who we want to be”

A great read is Maria Schriver’s book called “Just Who Will You Be?”

Here’s a few photos’ from the day.
