I’m back. I’m exhausted. And yet totally recharged. What is it about The Creative Connection that did this to me?

……….

I spoke in a keynote luncheon to an audience of around 700 people. This stretched me.

I reconnected with old friends. This lifted me.

I met a lot of new people – all gracious and talented and motivated. This inspired me.

I had David by my side the entire time. This just makes me feel downright blessed.

……….

Here’s a little video from The Creative Connection via my iPhone + iMovie. (iLove Apple.)
