I returned from Sydney, Australia a couple of weeks ago. Sydney is a beautiful city. I saw as much as I could in the relatively short amount of time I was there. My main purpose was
to attend the Summit conference for Liberty League International. We stayed in a fabulous
hotel - the Intercontinental Hotel.
The hotel was right across the street from the Botanical Gardens where I took a walk every morning. (I never did adjust to the time change completely. I got up around 4am and fell asleep around 7pm each evening). The Gardens area has gardens (of course) , various birds that we don't see in the US AND thousands of bats!! I have never seen such a thing. Thousands of bats
hanging from trees and making lots of noise.
I also very much enjoyed a tript to Taronga zoo where I took a "Behind the Scenes" tour with one of the keepers. I spent 5 hours there and took lots of pictures. If you look at my web site, there is a picture of me in front of the Sydney Opera House and also at the Taronga Zoo next to a Koala. I really wanted to touch him (her?) but it now against the law in most states of Australia to touch a Koala unless you are a zoo keeper or have some sort of special authorization. I did pet a Wallaby and Kangaroo though.
It is fantastic to be part of a company that has such a strong, supportive, family oriented community. The conversations and level of thinking is a cut above most (or maybe all) other companies. It's not just me who thinks this - many others who get involved express the same sentiment. If you love to travel and want to live an exceptional life - this is a great place to be.
Being back in Chicago is always good too - I love this city!

Trip to Sydney
I am getting ready to take a trip to Sydney, Australia on Saturday (a mere 20 hour flight!) for a five day event with Liberty League International. I will be traveling there alone and a part of me gets the feeling of "I can't believe I will soon be on my way to Australia." This will be my first trip to Australia.
I am very much looking forward to hearing Bob Proctor, as well as other inspirational and informative speakers. We will also be doing a fire walk (which I have done two others times in my life, but that doesn't make the actual walk easy!)
I love speaking with people who are not satisfied with mediocrity and the norm in life. LLI has a strong community of like minded people. It is important to surround yourself with uplifting people if you want to rise above the norm. It is so easy to get caught up in the "herd" mentality.
"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform (or pause and reflect)." - Notebook, 1904 (Mark Twain)
This will be a fantastic event, as well as giving me the opportunity to have a photo opp with koalas, kangaroos and other Australian animals. I love animals and am really looking forward to the animal interaction.
I'll let you know how my trip to Sydney turned out a couple of weeks from now.
