Europe-bound, DTour Style!
Very exciting things happening! Please follow A Lady Away for updates on the DTour competition and my upcoming European Adventure!
A Lady Away
The past couple of weeks have been exciting. I've been lucky enough to book out of town work in truly beautiful locations offering the opportunity for one adventure after another. From driving around Northern Arizona for a week to networking in Toronto to family time in Michigan to experiencing history in Virginia and Maryland it's [...]
Blackhawks Celebrations
