Tomorrow is my last day of work and if we are as slow as we are today, I don't know what I'm going to do! Too bad conference is only 3 days, it's over before you know it!

It does go by sooooo fast! It's a whirlwind....it will be so much fun when everyone is back, and we can talk about it freely on CS - fingers will be flying!:D

Thanks !It was so great to see you, too!!
And how 'bout the look on our faces when we got to our next class and saw the presenter...AGAIN???
BAhahaha!!


Yeah, we were both thinking the exact same thing :) I think the second class was really good though. I got a lot out of it. Now, I just need to implement it :) I still haven't typed up any of my notes...hopefully by Wednesday. As soon as I get them typed, I'll send them to you :)

Diane - my director (Jennifer) fell in love with you being "Your new best friend" in that workshop! When you walked across stage, I was cheering so loudly for you, and so was she! She isn't a Cheffer, but after meeting so many of my cheffer friends, now she knows why I love it so much!

She wants me to send her your email so that she can send you some stuff. I figured it was okay with you.:D

Of course that is fine! She was so fun! I LOVED that seminar I was in with her. Now to put it all into practice!
 
JAE, you asked where Gratitude came in with the Gratitude Recruiting workshop. I think gratitude itself was only mentioned briefly. According to my notes she at one point talked about the importance of working from a place of gratitude for where you are now and what you have at this moment. Moving forward from that point is much easier than moving forward from a position mired in want and disappointment in your current situation.
 
Where do you order your CS buttons from?
 
Thanks Ann
