Time zooms by way too fast. Where has it all gone to? I left Thursday, it's a blur - packed in a frenzy, pulled things together. Acknowledged someone I'm sure, thought to myself I need to remember that and now it's all dissapeared. Friday, was intense - gave a lot of acknowledgements to those I presented for, my co-presenter, received tons of thanks and kind comments around my workshop. I still received those today as I'm ready to leave the conference. Last night, treated out to a magnificent dinner with the group and became related to everyone who went the conference and Ken and Sharon. Loads of fun. Lots of laughs and great conversations.
One of the participants is going through an intense time in her life and just needed to brainstorm, verbalize, and emote through the evenings. It was great to see her wake up calmer, peaceful, and say it was the first time in months that she laughed and slept well. All good. The best part of this conference is that it was the first time we all truly related to each other like human beings - and our stories did not revolve around art education. They were personal, real, and heart resonating.
This morning I had so many amazing things happen. Walked through the vendors to have one last look around and was given textbook and supplemental information worth $500 just because the vendor did not want to take it home. Selected 3 free books from a vendor who is woooing us because we are having textbook adoption this year and next. Was acknowledged (and gave acknowledgments) to a small group of friends - outside in the sunshine, holding hands, pretty way cool.
Good deeds: refrained from putting my name in the raffle - I always win something big, and wanted someone else to have a turn. Notified staff the general bathroom was in bad shape, posted the name and number on a conference room door (that was hard to find). This weekend was incredible, and I have tomorrow too. Love my life.
