Why are venues important to the events you host/attend? It all comes down to the type of vibe you want to create. In "The Art of Gathering", author Priya Parker talks about how the size of your gathering impacts the type of experience you want to have. I share some ideas of events that I would love to have in a future event center.

But I'm willing to start small and grow along the way!Join: Are you a busy woman wanting to discover or maintain your identity? Go to aisforadversity.com/boost to join the Sunshine Community today!
