ROAM – Mindful Adventuring Across the Globe
Pack your bags and join Pat Williams and Eileen Curtis.
That magic word travel! Come travel on a magic carpet ride across mountain tops from the Andes to the Himalayas. Swoop across Tanzania’s Serengeti plain. Huddle with New Mexico shamans. Wind along ancient pilgrim paths in Spain. Surround yourself with sea turtles.
From their visits to over a hundred countries, the authors share seven journeys they deem the best of the best. Each dramatic story crosshatches themes of history, ritual, primitive spaces, art, physical challenges and reflections. The narrative invites the reader to share festal meals, anxious moments, and zany episodes that bring laughter and wonder.
Eileen and Pat have been friends for 25 years, working most closely together leading the Dulles Regional Chamber as CEO and Chairman of the Board. They share complementary motivations in travel. Eileen is the student of history, music, and art. Pat searches for experiential opportunities, physical challenges, and the unearthing of commonalities with strangers that lead to lifetime bonds. Each time they return from a trip, their executive women friends want them to spend an evening sharing each moment, traveling with them vicariously, or following in their footsteps!

Pat's Pearls
What people are saying
“Say The Right Thing, a thoughtful and heartfelt book, reminds us that there are appropriate and engaging ways to communicate with others in all life stages.”
Dee Cascio
LPC, LMFT, BCC
Pat was motivated to study leaders who demonstrated appropriate, assertive, and sensitive ways to communicate. As a result of Pat’s research, she filled a book with gems from CEO’s, pastors, coaches, community leaders, and even her mother, Grace. Her book, Say The Right Thing, teaches us how communication makes a difference whether we are growing our businesses, serving on Boards, confronting a bully, calling on a friend in grief or who is terminally ill, becoming dementia friendly, and more.
Around Reston Magazine
“Say The Right Thing is terrific! I have already recommended it to some friends who are experiencing difficult situations. It helps take the awkwardness out of tough situations and provides so many common sense ideas that you just can’t think of “on-the-spot” or if you are experiencing emotional pain. Great job!”
