*** Childhood dream achieved *** I'm headed to the Olympics in Paris. 🥇 Ok, ok, okkkkk! I'm not attending exactly how it looked in my dreams... Running the fastest mile in the world, barely breathing hard... taking a victory lap with the American flag... waving to my family in the stands... standing on the podium listening to the anthem... getting a little teary-eyed... then signing a big contract with Nike. 💥 ### WOAH, snap out of it Heather! ### I went right back to dream land. 😍 The reality: I am headed to Paris for part-work and part-play. This is still a dream come true. That's the amazing thing about life... There's the way we envision things happening and then there's the way it happens. That's the secret sauce. Being open and grateful. Having persistence and passion Also, willing things to happen! Let's gooo! 😁 Join me on this journey! I'll be sharing observations and moments from the #Olympics #ParisOlympics #sports #insights #brandbuilding #wellplayedlife P.S. This photo is courtesy of my imagination, my daughter entertaining the photographer role, and the magic of Canva adding a microphone. But, did I get you for a second?? :) P.P.S. What are must see/do stops in Paris? I've never been. 👇 Share below!
Heather, we are proverbial peas in a pod! I'm also making the trek from Chicago to Paris for The Games. While I won't touch out Katie Ledecky, I will be in the stands — though I clearly need to level up my Canva game. Can't wait to keep up with your updates. Perhaps our paths will cross?

Paris Illinois is a lovely place. You have the Edgar county courthouse, a lovely stop, you have Eagle ridge Golf course a fun but challenging track, and off course the world famous Bubba Lubba BBQ. I am sure you will enjoy your trip! 😂
Can't wait! Staying tuned ... ready w w my 🍿
Hurray for seeing your dream come true in a somewhat different form. My advice is to walk as much as you can and see things at ground level, get lost only to find you were just a few street away from your destination. Eat a lot of small meals and delight in the sights, sounds and beauty that is Paris.
This is awesome. Enjoy every crazy moment. Can't wait to see it through your eyes.
Sounds like a dream. Seeing these high level athletes from across the globe has to be a dream. Have a great time and keep us in the loop.
Maybe I’ll see you there! Has been on my bucket list forever - making it happen!
