Catching my breath

Oh my, the past couple of months have been so full of travel I have not done much else. It started with an event in Toronto in September, with our biggest sales partner, to meet and recruit new resellers. I took a couple of days of personal time and took Amtrak from Toronto to Rochester, to visit. That was a first for me. The train ride was great. The food was unbelieveably bad! Like sandwich machine food. Yeech! There were several Australians on the train too, and none of us could concieve that this was all there was to eat.

Had a great visit with family in Rochester. Had gotten back to CA, and was just getting back to west coast time zone, when I was asked by the east coast sales rep to cover an event for him - in Rochester! What a great perk!! So I got to go visit in October, too.

And I have been on the road every week since. 2 weeks ago, Phoenix. Last week, flew to Newark, NJ; drove down to Eatontown, then to Shelton, CT; then back to Newark. This week, Minneapolis. Week after, back to Phoenix. Then I plan to stay close to home for a while. (Do I hear God laughing??!?)

Work is crazy busy, and getting busier. I keep hoping this is the lead-up to a quantum leap, where we organize at a higher energy level and can take a breather for a while.

Fun side project has come to fruition: I am one of the authors of the Scrappy Women's Guide to Business: Living Proof that Bending the Rules Isn't Breaking the Law

My friend Kimberly concieved of this book a couple years back. I wrote a chapter; as did 10 other women. She edited, and we got it published a couple months ago. It is so cool to see it in physical form. And it's selling on Amazon! Whoo Hoo! It's packed with great advice and wisdom from 11 Scrappy Women on our paths into, out of, and through the business world. Check it out!!
