Last SB2

I’m heading out again tomorrow afternoon for the final ASMP SB2 event, in Chicago. This one really is it, folks–if you haven’t gone yet and don’t go to this one, you will have missed out.

As usual, though, travel means that I’ll be less in touch for a while. More trains, more time traveling across areas where the iPhone doesn’t always get a signal, then the time at the event when, frankly, I’m just too busy to do anything but SB2-related stuff. My husband doesn’t even hear from me during the weekend, usually. 

I’m a bit misty about this event, it being the last one and all. It has been such an honor and a joy being a part of SB2 that I will miss it. The team has been fantastic–it will be odd not seeing everyone again a few weeks later. And though it has been a ton of work, and physically exhausting as well (I never get my 7-8 hours sleep during those days), I wouldn’t have traded the experience for anything. 

I’ve described it as what I would think running a 4-day marathon must feel like. Afterwards I am wiped out, but it is that good exhaustion–happy, excited, content-with-the-world kind of feeling. We do a post-event meeting after each city to talk about how it went and to see if we can make any tweaks for the next one. Mostly, we talk about the people who attended and what they shared with us. And always we have the overwhelming feeling that we are incredibly lucky to get to interact with such an amazing group of individuals in each location. 

So, I’m off to Chicago and looking forward to meeting the well over 250 people signed up already for the event. And seeing my team members. And you readers will have to be patient while I’m on the road. It’s just this last one and then I’ll be in my office for a while.
