We’re almost there
Posted Monday, February 19, 2007 by Leanne Davis
In just under two weeks, CR will be starting. I’m psyched. How about you? We have some fun times planned and Kansas City is a great place for us to be. Now, if the weather will just cooperate, we’ll be all set.
We’ve juggled the schedule this year so that there won’t be so much sitting on Saturday. We’ve moved some talks to Sunday and shortened the time of the booksigning. All this in response to the comments we’ve received over the last two years.
My life has been in constant upheaval since last fall. In desparation, I quit my job without a new job lined up and the job hunting isn’t going my way right now. I had surgery to correct some sinus issues and so I’m focused on CR giving me some sense of normalcy. Like that is going to happen, right? Ha!
Having dumped all that on you, I’m here to say that I have so many blessings in my life and my CR friends form a large part of those blessings. The years of attending CR have given me life long friendships that have given me the strength to face adversity. There is nothing more fulfilling than knowing that I can call on any one of them for help and they will respond positively.
CR has enriched my life in many ways. I’ve learned things that I would never have experienced otherwise. How to plan a conference, interacting with hotels and other businesses in way I would never have dreamed of years ago. The friends are the best part of though. I love knowing that I can travel to almost any part of the country and have a friend there that I can contact for directions, restaurant suggestions, and UBS information.
Like Karen, I’m a bookstore addict. It’s a sometimes uncontrollable desire to see what goodies I can find. Dancing in uncontrolled glee when I find a really rare book and knowing that friends will share the joy when they hear the news. What could be better than that?
We’ll see you all soon. Remember to check out the website for the Kansas City airport if you have any questions about where you may be coming in. http://www.flykci.com/

Remember to count your blessings as we approach a new CR.
