Connections

Last night I had the pleasure of attending the 20th Celebration of Catholic Education dinner at the Buffalo Convention Center. My husband and I were guests of a friend who works for Uniland, so we came to the event not entirely sure who we might find. We promptly walked into the parish group where my husband volunteers (teacher of the year award winner!), a former colleague of mine from Roswell Park and UB, and several other friends we don't always get to see. It was a lovely evening. The bonus to the whole event was the potential for a new project, updates on some other former colleagues, and a reassessment that everyone on Buffalo knows everyone else, so acting politely at all times is needed :)

Happy New Year!

WOW. Last year was crazy busy for me.  I just selected my days to support 26 Shirts this year and realized that it's been over a year since my last sponsorship. Last year was an interesting one for OPP, I had the most diverse group of clients I've ever had and stayed very busy right up to the end of the year. In this new year, I hope to continue to expand my connections while continuing to learn new things. Let me know if I can help you!

Golden Nuggets

I've been asked to share what I learned at my conference with my coworkers and realized that the most valuable part of the experience were the people.  At lunch on Monday I solved a problem for work after quizzing the table.  During a session on Tuesday, I found two tools to make my life easier.  Plus I got to hang out with some really interesting people I'm now following on social.

Life is all about continuous learning.
