What Did I Do All Year?

It seems like a good time to ask that question, right?

• Spent January and Febuary in India, Singapore and Bali. Taught, watched classical dance, ate great food and spent time with good friends.
• Was certified in DISC Profiling at Ken Blanchards in San Diego. Totally abused the champagne brunch at the Hotel Del Coronado with Angie, Tomo and John.
• Was certified in Six Thinking Hats in Phoenix. Visited Taliesen and Sedona.
• Taught in beautiful Tucson. Hiked the desert country.
• Was certified in Leadership Challenge at Sonoma Learning Systems in Sonoma, California with Brent and Ken. Drank a little wine.
• Taught a number of sessions in Yokohama, Japan. Sang some karaoke with Haemi-chan.
• Started my Masters in Adult Education. Completed 5 out of 13 courses by the end of the year.
• Worked with Nancy Duarte (author of Slideology).
• Went to Los Cabos. Spotted whales, coyotes, and Ryan Seacrest. Released baby turtles to the wild.
• Worked towards certification in High Tech Speaking.

Turns out, this was (in the words of Tori Amos) a "Pretty Good Year".
