present at an international conference in a foreign country
What a rush! 2 years ago

The other day I spoke before 1,700 people at the EARCOS ETC 2007 in Bangkok, Thailand, introducing Rischard, the author of “High Noon: 20 Global Problems, 20 Years to Solve Them”. Then, I was on a panel discussion discussing digital and video imagery. I was nervous, and glad when it was over!

sing in a band
All that Jazz 2 years ago

I sang in a jazz band last night! The vocal jazz performance was part of a fundraiser for a local charity to promote literacy. I sang “Comes Love” (a Billie Holiday song) and “All that Jazz”.

I was so nervous I couldn’t eat the whole day, and my hands were shaking at rehearsal as I held the mike, but some sort of cold, icy calm came over me when I was in front of the crowd of almost 200 people. It helped to have so many friends in the audience lending their support.

The setting was magnificent: inside a jazz club with floor-to-ceiling windows that looked out onto the lake: tiny white lights in the trees and a cool breeze, and speaker set up so those who were outside could listen to the band.

I never would have done it if it weren’t for 43things.

There’s something to be said for setting intention: if you put it out there, it just might happen!

Get my Master's Degree
It's finished! 3 years ago

After three years of study, and much wailing and gnashing of teeth, this English teacher got her MA in Educational Technology. I had never taken a computer course in my life, and knew few of the programs required.

Now, my life is “semi” back-to-normal.” Unfortunately, I can’t seem to sit still.

I’m thinking: what’s next? PhD? Second masters? Or better yet: should I finish my novel?
