Y'all - our stay at the incredible Deplar Farms from was simply amazing, from start to finish. If I tried to explain it all to you, it would be a true Icelandic Saga, so instead I'll hit the high points.

1) The location is stunning and worth the long drive from Akuryeri. We were WOWed by the North, from the dramatic mountains, coastlines, and lakes - plus the Auroras came out to play every night we were there!!

2) The staff are so wonderful and attentive. Our adorable guide, .tejerina took such good care of us on our activities and made sure we had the itinerary that worked best for our time & the conditions. She even helped set up photoshoots for us. 😆 The bartenders were incredible - and they even brought in one of their cute pooches for me to cuddle while celebrating my birthday! (I think everyone wished me a HBD the second they saw me that day - it was super sweet.)

3) The facilities and food are top notch. Honestly, there were so many cool & cosy spots to curl up & relax in that we didn't even hit them all. Excellent yoga, gym, sauna, hot tubs, cold plunge (! I abstained!), treatment rooms, and even isopods (I also abstained). Books everywhere and the best playlist ever to keep you in a great vibe. Snacks & drinks were basically everywhere, and no request was too outlandish. My daily yogurt/granola/blueberries bowl was so good I had to take a pic. We also got to experience a few of their "outposts" that allow for additional cool experiences (like a full-on recording studio!).

So, Yeah- I'll stop before this gets to be any longer, but hopefully these shots give a glimpse of how awesome our stay was (especially in our little cubby room!!). Big thanks to my travel buddies for this adventure - and - y'all are the best!!....

Today was too good of a day not to live on my feed forever.
1: Working backwards with the "raisin at the end of our hot dog" - the clouds shifted just enough for our first taste of the Auroras!!! ✅ 🌌
2: We had a delicious & fascinating dinner in a cave!! ✅ 🍲
3: We hiked a glacier (and even had a champagne toast ON the glacier for a milestone birthday & retirement in our group)! Massive thanks to for keeping us safe! ✅🥂
4: We saw the last of the big 3 waterfalls down south, Scogafoss, which was swollen & brown from all the rain. ✅🌈
5: We got to see actual lava & felt it nearly burn our faces off!!! ( - so cool!) ✅🌋
6: We got to see the black sand beach & basalt columns in Vik, and didn't get washed away by a rogue wave! ✅🌊

Honestly, it's a day I won't soon forget. Much more to come, but thanks to for inviting me along on your meticulously planned trip with - it has been beyond incredible (and we're on like day 4!), and of course, . Thanks for being a great roomie (again)!!
Time for 😴😴😴😴!!!!

Before I head out on another adventure, I just have to share about the fabulous, inspiring, and revitalizing conference I just attended with my host agency, .
.......

I enjoyed basically every minute of the past three days, from powerful speakers (like pictured here and who I missed snapping a pic of b/c I was too busy writing down all of his brilliance), to connecting with so many of my amazing partners who make things happen (like , , and one of my first partner-friends, from ), to laughing and collaborating and yes, dancing with colleagues and coaches (too many to name & tag and too few pictured!). I got to advise the general session on a panel about my successes, and then masterminded with my fellow million dollar producing advisors on how to get even better the next day.
.......

It was exhausting but oh so fulfilling. I can't wait to implement so many of the nuggets I've brought home with me to improve my business so that my clients have even better experiences working with me and discovering that "je ne sais quoi" while out on their trips.

"Everything you lose is a step you take... So make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it, you've got no reason to be afraid..."

This night will stay with me for a long time. It's just a concert, and it's just pop music, and it's just a bunch of songs about breakups... Blah, blah, blah.

It was incredible.

Taylor Swift has figured something out. Something important, I think. The love, enthusiasm, and supportive nature of the crowd was something I haven't experienced in all my concert going days. It was well over 3 hours (plus Paramore's excellent set), and we walked nearly an hour there & back... And I'd do it all again in a second.

That's crazy talk, but it's the truth.

Make it happen. Take the trip. You can't get memories like these back.

Thanks to for joining me in this crazy trip - it was worth every penny!!!

80 years ago this morning, this beautiful area looked quite a bit different. It's still the most incredible thing that happened, and I'm so moved every time I visit.

Feted the Moms in my life today in my brand new screened-in porch! Can't wait to dream of and plan fabulous adventures around the world for my clients (and me!) from my own little slice of paradise. Of course, my own dear Mom had a huge hand in not only making this room happen, but supporting me in this crazy life I lead. Hugo may be staring adoringly at my sister (an amazing Mom in her own right), but make no mistake - "Nana" is his fave.
Hug them if you've got them, and if not - know they're always with you.

Well this was a fun designation to hear about yesterday!! Selling $1M has always sort of been a benchmark in my business, but a goal I let go of post-pandemic because I realized I wanted more balance in my life. Funny how I finally made it in 2023, my 10th year in the biz!!! Huge thanks to all my clients who have trusted me with their vacation plans over the years, and who have helped me soar but allowed me to maintain a better balance in my life. Here's to an even more amazing 2024 with more incredible adventures for us all!

Wellness is a big buzz word these days, and it can mean a lot of different things to different people.....
I really appreciate the approach takes with their "Live Well" retreats, which I have just finished in the snowy mountains outside Crested Butte. They focus on four pillars: move, breathe, nourish, and connect - and all that means is that each day of the retreat features lots of each of those. We were active each day and pushed ourselves (sometimes FAR) out of our comfort zones. We did lots of yoga and meditation (sound baths for the win!). We ate a TON of delicious and nutritious food - most of it gluten free and all of it freshly prepared with fascinating flavor combinations and textural elements. And more than anything: boy did we connect. There was so much togetherness with my 14 beautiful fellow retreaters, it was nearly impossible to get this shot!! Such wonderful women, many of whom I didn't know before this weekend, all of whom I know I could call anytime for anything. ....
I am so thrilled I got to be a part of it. Huge thanks to my friends at and for putting together such an amazing group (and inviting me along), and to the fabulous Caith, our gentle and loving retreat leader from Eleven Experience. Much more to come - it was an incredible four days!!!

When in Rothenburg, you must see some Christmas goodies, whether you're there for the famous markets, or in July, like I was. This wasn't the"Wienachsmuseum" next door, but just a store!!! It was incredible and we spent our entire free time drooling at all the treasures inside. Some purchases were obviously made, despite the very stern frauleins guarding the expensive stuff, and it was highly enjoyable for any Christmas fan!
