The Comeback Canadian Rides Again

Last night,  I gathered with some very lovely ladies, and a beautiful dog, to wish our friend, Shannon, 
the best of all things as she makes her voyage back to her motherland,  
Saskatoon, Canada.

The intimate gathering took place in a spectacular Tuscan villa, nestled in the bosom of a Phoenix mountain range, where Karen and her clan call home.

Shannon has a magnificent network and supportive group of friends.
Let me introduce you to a couple of key players in Shannon's life.


One part of the network is
 Karen,
Friend, Life Coach and 
2010 Mompreneur of the Year.

Karen has helped Shannon

 unleash her creative thoughts,
her potential within,
and has provided her with guidance and support to help Shannon steer her way towards her heart's desire.  


We all could use friends like Karen, right?

Another instrumental person in Shannon's network is 

Ms. Holy Yoga herself,

Brooke.

Through her spiritual guidance and yoga instruction,

Brooke has become Shannon's daily

living, breathing, all natural, anti-stress remedy.

She is Shannon's 

"peace by piece."

We could all use friends like Brooke, right?

                                            

You might wonder, as I often do, what part do I play in Shannon's life?

Hmmmm???

 I'll have to get back to you on that one.


Saying goodbye is never easy.
 Shannon has a way of making her way back to the states and into our lives, so I don't think this goodbye is going to be long lived.  

Besides, come January,
 when her lips are a curious shade of blue,  
our envious soothing sun will get the best of her.


My Dearest Shannon,
"May no border,
keep us apart."
