I had tears in my eyes after reading the "Here Comes the Bride" article (April 2014). –Kristy Lust, development and marketing associate, YWCA Madison Thanks for a fabulous session on leadership and emotional intelligence with Darcy Luoma. –UW Madison's Evening and Executive Programs via Twitter This email is written with sheer gratitude. Over the years I have attended and given a variety of courses, trainings and workshops. The content and venue of the Women's Leadership Workshop were amazing. I think all of you at BRAVA have collec- tively tapped into the pulse of what women are looking for in their lives—ways to be effective whether that's in business or other types of relationships. Thanks for making that happen! –Patty Castillo, Countryside Montessori Preschool Editor's note: Great recap of our first Women's Leadership Workshop by Darcy Luoma Coaching and Consulting, Patty! Don't miss the next three, including one this month! See previous page for more details. Register at BRAVAmagazine.com. Where's your secret hideaway in Wisconsin? The place I love to go in the summer is a secluded bluff encircled by towering white pines called Cathedral Point. It overlooks Trout Lake, a crystal-clear lake near Boulder Junction in Wisconsin's North Woods. Spectacular views, often deserted, best reached by bike. – Linda Abbott, Middleton APRIL 2014 $3.95 BRAVAMAGAZINE.COM women + style + substance > FRESH-PICKED FASHION Fiercely bold florals > BEAUTIFUL THINGS Vintage flair, natural beauty and a feminist forum + PERCEPTIONS Women, motherhood and eating disorders Tying the Knot Heritage weddings & spirited style BRAVA-SPONSORED EVENTS 3 | Wisconsin Women's Health Foundation 15th Annual Spring Gala Enjoy an enchanted evening at the State Capitol.
