Welcome to Postcards From Millie
Our passion is about providing totally unique and life-transforming experiences for modern women. This enables them to connect with their own power and become changed by their experiences.
We believe that the modern woman is a high achiever. She works long hours, has high expectations and is under pressure to perform at peak levels in all areas of her life. This makes her not only physically tired, but mentally, emotionally and spiritually exhausted and disconnected from her “Self”.Our unique and life-transforming experiences... Read Full Article >>

By Victoria Ugarte
I had to have some publicity shots taken. I had just appointed a top notch PR agency to handle my Media Release, and I had nothing better to give them than the shots Peter had taken of me with our digital camera in Prague and Toledo. The idea of being on the receiving end of the lens had me more than a little frazzled. I’m more at home on other side, styling the “shoot”. I wouldn't know my good side if I fell over...

Just a Broadway Baby

“I'm just a Broadway Baby.
Walking off my tired feet.
Pounding Forty-Second Street.
To be in a show.”
When Stephen Sondheim wrote those words for his musical ‘FOLLIES’ he was writing about the dreams of countless young performers across the world who practise long hours with the hope of one day making it big on the musical stages of New York.
