It's been over two weeks since I returned from the International Coach Federation Conference in Las Vegas and I have had some time to let the ideas and experiences percolate a bit. While I was there I felt like a big sponge, absorbing so much, with joy, I must say.

When I was a little girl I spent a lot of time playing in the basement of our house. When I wasn’t down there I remember being outside playing in the woods in our backyard, making forts or exploring the ravine or river. On rainy days, the basement held many attractions, including: wooden blocks which I loved to use to make mazes for my gerbil; a rope ladder to climb; my “Puff the Magic Dragon” record which I could never get enough of; and one particularly special book.
