I'm glad your surgery went well and your trip to London was great!

Good luck with your story! You're a great writer so I'm sure this one is too!

Thank you! My trip already feels like a dream. I can't believe I was really there!

I'm not sure Dream Spinner will agree but thank you!

Thank you! I'm still trying to get over the stupid London cold I brought back with me, but I'm doing much better.

I wasn't able to get tickets to the show while I was in London a few weeks ago. Didn't think about it until too late. BOO. It is very cool that you got to see it.

Sorry to hear about the sinus surgery. That doesn't sound fun.

I'm sorry you missed the play. It was amazing (and not just because of Colin!). Hope you had a good time in London!

It was rough for a while, but I think I'm mostly recovered now.

So I saw Dr Brene Brown speak yesterday, and one of the things she spoke about was the need to be vulnerable and put yourself "in the arena" if you want to live life whole-heartedly. Re-phrasing the "What would you do if you could not fail" to be "what is worth doing even if you do fail". Must say, it came at the right time to hear that. You've been brave enough to send something in for publishing - that's an amazing thing. Between the two of you, I'm inspired! I need to put myself in the arena! So thank you!

Best of luck with it - the fingers are so very crossed for you!

Hope you're feeling better and that you're still not over Colin staring at you! :)

I'm usually not this brave. I don't know what came over me!

I'm so glad her talk was worthwhile to you. Good luck! What "arena" are you gonna put yourself in? :D I'll be cheering for you on the sidelines, whatever you do!

I don't think I could ever get over Colin looking at me! I'm surprised I didn't spontaneously combust!

There's a very real chance that in my next job I could step out of PA-land and into a communications role. This is mega-scary for me, because I'm untested in this arena. But this is my chance to get a start in it working with people I like and trust. But if I don't give myself the chance to fail, then I will never give myself the chance to succeed either. This is what you have done! It's a great thing!
