I have been involved with the glitzy fun side of marketing, public relations, sampling, promotions and wom for the last 10 years of my life and imagine my surprise when they asked to interview me fall 08 in Toronto for a North American Trend report! I went in to their office on Bloor and answered questions for about an hour and that was it. I didn’t think much of it until I got this email. It invited me to come to the Trend Observer presentation breakfast. ^_^

This is the person who is on the go, no fixed address and alwaysmobile. Fluidity between work and life and not tethered to the computerTrend 3: everyday spiritualityFinding that we own to much stuff and it impedes our happiness, clearing mental clutter and freeing ourselves. *read Peter Walsh*
