Jacky,
I know how you feel (about missing events that sound great) Imagine, I'm listing these events for months and can't go to *any* of them unless I want to get up at 3 a.m. and dial long distance. Soon though...
I'll just check in with the original event provider and see if there's another one coming up in the future - if so, I'll be sure to post it!
As to your writing, I think that is so great - it's nice to be encouraged. Have you thought of starting a blog, either on your business site, or just for personal use.
I'm quite addicted to mine...love writing...and in the end do it more for myself than anything else...of course, positive feedback is always wonderful.
Keep it up, the more you express yourself the more you develop that talent for getting your thoughts on paper in a way people can really feel - and that makes all the difference
Additional note: I just send Alexandra (the woman who hosted this event) an email asking for info on any upcomings, will let you know!
