Hello All, TLI was fabulous! I made quite a few good connections and also reconnected with old friends. It was encouraging and beneficial in so many ways. It was also very good to catch up with my Frontrange friends. As most of you know I'm attending a counseling training class on Thurs evenings for what will actually be several weeks.....but I do miss you all! Ed Tate, as always, does not disappoint.....as he would play in his presentations.....tap the person next you and say "I told he was good!" But Byron........in only about a year of being in the public speaking arena is sensational! Obvisously he is gifted and has a strong stage presence....but REALLY....showed what could be achieved in a short period of time. The one thing I captured from his speech.....is that a gifting is what we have been given. And talent is what we make of that gift......I needed to hear and understand that! Have a fabulous day, and again I miss you all, Ray thanks for driving for a few of us, June I know you'll say enough already, June, but one take away from the day that I hope those who attended will pass on to you in a more powerful way than I can do in email. Is when anybody asks you what you do....for a living/career. Don't tell them what you do......tell them what benefit for THEM there is in the service/activity you provide to the community---and in 7 words or less.
