Leap and the Net Will Appear

When was the last time you actually did something based on sheer faith and faith alone? What happened? Did that something turn out as you felt it would or were you disappointed by the results?

Just this past week I took a leap and had faith that the net would appear. And guess what? It did, and the net was even bigger and better than I could have ever imagined.

What did I do?

I went to Fargo, North Dakota to participate in the first of many

Why was that a leap?

Well, first I have never been to Fargo so I had no idea what that would be like. And second, I had never participated in a conference that used . So here I was traveling 1200 miles to attend a conference with no true set agenda.

Where did the faith come from?

My faith was the direct result of the enthusiasm and energy that came from an amazing woman who held the vision of inviting and creating deeper dialog. It was utterly contagious so how could I not participate!?

What was the result?

All I can say is, “WOW!” I gained so much from being at this incredible, life-changing, positive impacting, action-driven event. I gained:

  • A wonderful friend in Jodee. (Thank you, Jodee for everything!)
  • Some amazing connections with some of the nicest people. (Let me tell you, Fargo has heart!)
  • Insight and great ideas.
  • The chance to share in some deep and meaningful conversations.
  • The opportunity to find out what my is. (Thank you, Dick and Melanie for sharing your wisdom and genuis with all of us.)
  • The energy and motivation to take action on the things that are most important to me.
  • The drive to make a difference in the lives of others and in my own life.

I could go on and on about all the great things I took away, but instead I want to invite you to experience it for yourself. Take the leap next year and join us for the second . I promise you that the net will appear bigger and better than you could ever imagine.

Wow Pam, now I know I missed even more than I thought I was going to. I'll see you next year at Bigger Small Talk for sure. Thanks for sharing a bit of the experience with me, both in this article, and with your phone call to me!

Hi Phil,

It was a wonderful experience -- words just couldn't possibly describe it! Not to worry -- next year is going to be awesome too!!

We were so sorry you could not be there, but even sorrier about your grandmother. I do hope your family is OK.

Please take care and we will see you next year.

Jodee, you are so welcome. THANK YOU! I cannot wait until next year. My sister wants to come with me next year and even offered to assist with planning. We will have a great time once again!

Thank you, Jodee for sharing your vision with all of us.
