What have you done for me lately?
My speaking agency, the American Program Bureau, asked me to put together a list of my performances for the past two years. So I sat down with my Treo calendar and started typing out all of my performances, etc over the past two years. It actually helped me feel a li'l bit more confident in what I've been doing since January 2006. I haven't been as lazy as I feel sometimes.
So from now on, whenever anyone asks, "So what have you been up to?" I'm gonna say, "Visit my blog. It's ALL there."
