dedicated significant funds toward charities focused on helping other women.\u00a0 People shared stories of best practices, what types of charities are having the biggest impact, etc.\u00a0 It was incredibly educational and I was grateful to be a part of it.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately I came down with a horrible sinus cold mixed with a fever and the flu bug and I have spent the last two days down in bed sick.\u00a0 Being sick has to be one of my least favorite things in the entire world.\u00a0 Being confined to bed with no energy to do anything but blow my nose for the ten millionth time ranks right down at the very bottom of my things I like to do list.\u00a0 If it wasn\u2019t for Nyquil I don\u2019t think I would be able to survive this flu!\u00a0 So what is on my mind this weekend is thank heavens for chicken soup and Nyquil.<\/p>\n<p>The down side of Nyquil is it doesn\u2019t exactly give you a clear head when it\u2019s time to type your daily blog, so I am going to keep today\u2019s message brief.<\/p>\n<p>As always, I was trying to think of the positive side to what I have learned this weekend\u2026.but because I have been so sick I was struggling to think of a positive that is coming from being sick, until I saw the following picture:<\/p>\n<p><a
