ETF-Women & Work

Tonight, i pack my bags and leave for Torino, Italy where the European Training Foundation (ETF) is organizing a conference entitled Women and Work, on the occasion of International Women's Day.

It promises to be very exciting, both as an opportunity to meet other bloggers as well as an occasion to make a difference at a large scale.

FOr me, it has been a call to action, to rededicate myself to this blog, and to remember the power of words to inspire + to heal. It's also a reminder of the power of collective action, and how the ripple effect of a positive thought can reach beyond our imagined scope.

Im looking foward to discovering the city, and  coming up with some creative proposals!
