Busy Busy Time

I am gearing up for our Self Advocacy Conference on Saturday, April 4th. This is a very busy time for me -- getting everything ready and this year I am missing my assistant. And there are so many events in Boston to commemorate some of the great work we've all been doing -- feel like I should just get a commuter pass.

I love what I do. I love feeling like what I do is important in the lives of others. But I am tired and into my pre-conference crankies.

Folks in my office know to stay away from me this time of year. That's a good thing.

And the death of Natasha Richardson really threw me last night. It was an oh, so not subtle reminder of the fragility of life and a reminder to take time to value and appreciate all we have. Especially the ones we love. Just wish I had the time.

Yikes!

Wahoo!

Just found out my Guru, Dave Hingsburger, is coming to Western Mass in June. Within 5 minutes of receiving the email announcing the training, I faxed in my registration. How cool is this? Funny, I dislike the agency that is presenting his training, but I am more than willing to put that aside and go listen to Dave. I have followed his work for years but have never been given the chance to hear him up close and personal. I am so stoked.
