The Resource Nexus
— Adding over 100 new events.
— Some of the significant victories were all behind-the-scenes ones. Trying to reach out to more people directly, as I have typically been relying on word of mouth and improved website SEO for building traffic. As this week’s quote states:
“Lead by example, and others will follow. Actions teach better than words, setting a standard that inspires and guides everyone around you.”

Personal Update
— A tough week and weekend. Most of my time was spent with clients, preparing for their travel, and then preparing for our apartment move. The weekend was our move, and it took a turn because I had a case of Irisitis (inflammation of the iris, yes, the iris of your eye), I wore an eye patch a good part of the weekend. And that made moving a bit more difficult than we had planned it to be, but we got it done and are now settled in quite nicely.
