I forgot to format my memory card and it ran out of space.
I'm smooth, I know.
Anyhoos, I act like a big ol' dork
and use my hands like crazy.
It's kind of dark cause I had to cut the
front lights so that the projected images could be seen.
Other than that, I feel pretty good about it.
I thought that y'all might enjoy watching me in action.
Then, if you scroll down,
here are the materials to my talk
along with all the links to the posts
that I discussed.
I will put that fancy little button in my sidebar
and it will link to this post.
Okay....I'm done babbling about the awesome conference.

The Road to Hanna is such a beautiful metaphor for your talk and for life. You looked So relaxed, polished, and approachable. I believe you inspired some moms that day! Well done!
Can't believe I actually watched that whole video. I meant to watch only five minutes because I'm in a hurry this morning, but you caught me!
And it was so much fun to "see" you in person, Leigh.
=)
Very cool- loved seeing YOU - great job!
You are just so lovely :-)
Leigh--I scrolled (and clicked the older posts button) all the way back to this because weeks ago I watched this and then got interrupted by the kids before I was able to comment. Just wanted to say that--YOU did such a great job. THIS is another avenue for you--you're a natural.
And also, I don't want to bug you about this, but please visit this website

and tell me if you want to join this group on FB. I'm a member and it's just such an awesome group of women. You can post links to your new posts on the FB page. I can either add you to the FB group or you can I think add or request an add through the link I'm sending where you also register. I just want to keep mentioning it to you because there are members of the group (who I don't know by the way) who read our FB posts and then seek us out for things/opportunities.
Just think about it, okay?
Love you. xo Caroline
