Penny Lopes and ‘The Magic of Dreams’

"We are happy to be here. And by we, I mean me and the 3 layers of clothing I am wearing." From the second Penny Lopes stepped into our studio, she radiated an energy so bright and intoxicating. She was funny. She was smart. She is a wonderful storyteller who leaves you wanting more. "The Magic of Dreams: An American Diplomat's Journey" is her memoir. Lopes reminds us that we "all seek to be important and recognized, respected, and shown compassion."
