You're at the age of not believing

When all the "make believe" is through
When you set aside your childhood heroes

It was GREAT to bump into Janette Philp today in Broome and to reconnect after a few years of not being in regular contact. She's a pretty inspiring woman with lots planned for 2013, so if you enjoyed and got something out of her first book, Live Love Laugh, coauthored with Michelle Ferry and Terri Gibbs in 2009, watch this space....
Chatting with her made me want to share this past Flourishing Woman profile: the Three LLL's. Janette Philp, Michelle Ferry and Terri Gibbs with you.
So enjoy.
