Planning a Conference is So Easy!

If you’re planning a conference in Wonderland with unicorns and rainbow fairies, that is. A make believe conference where you have no day job, no family and every possible connection; more so then the Mafia. What a year it is has been.

Keep Moving Forward…

Sorry Jill! I’m not trying to kill our favorite quote! Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths Felt appropriate as I close out this chapter in the book of life and move forward to the next.
