Postscript - I have a cowboy hat!

 

I am ready for my next trip out West!



I have been back from MT for a few weeks and was no longer worried about appropriate Western apparel. On to the next summer event in my schedule, I flew down South to attend the biennial convention of Tri Delta sorority. I had dinner the first night with both old and new Tri Delta friends, one of whom, Susan, is from Oklahoma and she had the best hat!  I had to have it!  I called the Anthropologie store near my home, had it held for me and I picked up the Sparkle Cowboy Rancher today. 

I don't know when I will next be in an area where cowboy hats are customary, but I am now prepared and excited to don my new fashion accessory! It is a neutral beige, but the flecks of gold glitter throughout make it very fun. 

Keep connecting with people, you never know what opportunities will open up!

This blog post is part of a series documenting my trip to Montana where I am performing non-traditional executive and personal assistant services with creativity, humor and through strategic relationship-building. Please contact me to discuss how I can help you expand your bandwidth with fractional lifestyle management.

As some of you know, I provide outsourced lifestyle management services, meaning executive assistance, personal assistance and estate management services to clients who typically have busy complicated lives. I take things off their plate to quiet the chaos and preserve their time. This trip to Montana is a work trip with several objectives. I will make and build relationships with people with whom my clients do business that will enable me to b

Photo credit Matthew Paulsen My Montana trip has been peppered with opportunities to support the Old Salt Co-Op , primarily for the Festival, but also with other facets of the organization. I have spent a few dinner hours getting to know not only the Old Salt team, but also their customers as I circulated among them to promote the Festival. It's funny how opportunities pop up. Last Saturday I met Matt Paulsen , a local marketing entrepreneur and photographer,  to have some professional photos taken for my marketing purposes and he invited me to the Helena Young Professionals (HYP) networking social that followed our session. On my way to the social I popped into The Union, grabbed a stack of Old Salt Festival postcards and arrived at the HYP social ready to share the event details. The Festival was a great talking point as most of the attendees had some knowledge of the event, or at least the two sister restaurants in town, and welcomed learning more.
