Once a year I take a vacation day from work, spend a couple hundred dollars and trek across Atlanta in the early morning traffic for two hours. It is so that I can attend Leadercast, a motivational event that focuses on leaders worth following. We all need that. The world needs it. And I like seeing all of the good that can come from our human potential – the creative, the imaginative, the kind, the funny, the brave. It’s worth a day of my time and a couple hundred bucks.

I have tried for years to obtain beauty, never quite meeting mine or others expectations. And then it occurred to me.
