Reflections, Experiences, Shared Vision
June 24, 2007
The latter half of last month was very busy with three presentation engagements, totalling six sessions. Four took place over two days in the beautiful city of Terrace, BC, surrounded on all sides by snow-capped mountains, much warmer than I had packed for, sun shining both days. The conference was a huge success as everyone had done such an excellent job of organizing and, according to the feedback, of presenting (including me). I met so many wonderful, warm people who gave me many hugs, and words of appreciation and encouragement.
I stayed at the absolutely lovely Spey Lodge, as lovely as the very hospitable family that runs it.
I also provided shorter presentations for two local PAC meetings. Again, the feedback has been very encouraging and helpful. I will be making some suggested improvements based on elementary school parent needs, over the summer.
This month, aside from increased graphic design activity I've been writing an article: Youth Drug Experimentation: Simply a Matter of Choice?. The research it required had me blissfully engrossed for days... especially the fascinating new discoveries in brain science.
I've posted two amazing success stories on Letters to Kerry this month... both must-reads for how they've managed it.
Here's hoping for a happy summer for us all (as it is raining again),
