GAIA owner/founder Paula Minnis had the opportunity to speak to a growing network of professional women in Dallas at the FORWARD event this past December. At the December gathering she shared her thoughts on "innovation," and in this month's FORWARD publication she sheds light on her definition of "the good life." Now don't you all go quitting your jobs, buying one-way plane tickets, and dreaming of romanticized hostels throughout Europe… but it wouldn't hurt to plan an "educational" adventure for 2014 instead of a 10th trip to your regular beach haunt. Start saving, future world-traveler.
