Me in lights *wink wink*

Finally sitting down in my hotel room...feet are throbbing, hair in a pony tail, and my eyes hurt so bad from my contacts that have already been taken out. These little parts of celebrating the night away with amazing friends and collegues make it so worth it.

I was honored to be interviewed for the closing video of Engage!11, narrowing down what I had learned to 2:37 of this video.

"Cameo's are kinda my thing" {I said to myself}.

"WHAT?!?! No they are not" {I replied}.

"...true, but it is fun to pretend" {My fingers crossed behind my back}.

I love what I do and mean what I say. I can never say enough how much I truly love my clients. They are the reason I do what I do each and every day.

These Are a few of my favorite things

A video blog from my first day at Engage! 11 at The Grand Del Mar. Enjoy My Darlings!
