Thanks for visiting!

Hey there, I don’t always hang out at my desk in sweats, squinting at my screen. Sometimes I put on a dress, and then speak and teach at events and conferences. Thank goodness for a chance to get out, dress up, and meet people!

Here’s where I’m heading in the next few months. I hope to see you soon at one of these events.

Los Angeles, CA

IACP has a full day of workshops on this Friday, and mine starts the day. I sometimes struggle with blog burnout myself, so I thought we should work through it together.

    I could use the burnout one for sure. If only I lived closer. It may be worth the travel time and expense.

      Yeah, that is a tough one, Susan, but I am thinking up lots of ways to feel inspired and energized about why you loved blogging in the first place.

    Thanks for putting this list of events for us, Dianne.
    I am sure they are all wonderful and enriching. I’ve been to the IACP conferences and attended your presentation (in Chicago) and learned a lot from that. My only observation about these conferences is that the registration fees are all so expensive even before airfares, hotel stay, transportation and meals. How can the average Joe without a sponsor afford this? I wish there were more regional events, traveling conferences designed to reach the attendee or better still an online conference. That would be a win-win for all.
