Okay, so I gave you the technical side of She Speaks. The lessons learned and the challenges issued. What I did not give you was a report on the fun that was had! To say that I was nervous about attending alone would be the understatement of the year. I was the kind of nervous that

Coffee sipped and this weeks plans discussed with Him.
