Thanks so much Heike!
Your presentation and resources at Roots Tech were worth the entire conference fee. I am working on two projects now. I have lots of organized storytelling material, but now know how to get the stories out. The projects are so meaningful, I hurry with my chores to get back to them. Thanks sooooo much!
Chris – what a wonderfully kind thing to say. Thank you for taking a moment to leave this note, because as we recharge and think about what is next hearing from you is like gas in the tank. Which class(es) did you attend? You are very right that your projects are meaningful. They matter – a lot! Yes, hurry and get your chores done so you can finish these stories because you just never know the impact that your words will have on others, now and in the future.
