I Interviewed the Honorable Madeleine K. Albright yesterday!

Yesterday Jonathan and I had the extraordinary opportunity to interview former Secretary of State and distinguished America diplomat, Madeleine Albright in her Four Seasons' Biltmore bungalow. It was amazing to ask the first woman to serve as U.S. Secretary of State and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations on advice on how we should live a life set apart.

She is personal, friendly, funny and extremely eloquent. Hearing about how she grew up in Czechoslovakia, served coffee for many years, and is a mother of three children was inspiring.

It was magical how the interview came together. On Friday, Jonathan got her assistant’s contact info from Arianna Huffington. At 5:30 p.m. the same day, I emailed her assitant about our project and the following Monday at 4:45 p.m. Jonathan and I were sitting face-to -face with one of history's most influential women.

Jonathan and I definitely agree, that we are being "smiled" upon from above! We grateful and looking forward to passing this great wisdom forward!
