Hey my fellow connectors!
Life is funny! I left the city to head to Florida thinking I would avoid the 285 closure and then I here has been moved due to weather. But Atlanta got me again! And I don’t have a smooth transition to this week’s email but I do want to share words of encouragement to keep going! Last year, when I started this brand, I had a vision of hosting an event surrounded by art, culture, and meaningful connection. Last week, I realized that vision is finally becoming reality. The Art of Connection has been in the works inside my head for months and I’m happy to see it come to life. The venue is booked and the room will be filled with an all-star lineup of professionals, creatives, and entrepreneurs ready to connect intentionally. So keep it moving forward connector. You honestly only lose when you stop trying. Stay consistent, stay patient, and remember that success is a marathon, not a sprint.

Random Fact: The greatest officially recorded number of children born to one mother is 69, to the wife of Feodor Vassilyev (b. 1707–c.1782), a peasant from Shuya, Russia. In 27 confinements she gave birth to 16 pairs of twins, seven sets of triplets and four sets of quadruplets.
Happy Mother’s Day!
