"I'm flattered and honored and also THRILLED to read your delicious lead-in to the interview. I learn more about myself and what I do in the presence of your genius than anywhere. Thank you, hot mama, for lighting the world on fire, again and again, and for keeping the fire burning under my a** that keeps me honest." - colleen wainwright

"THE HARD: Having my tummy tell me it’s time to cut the trip short and head home. I do not like so much being ruled by my tummy, especially when it gets very upset. THE GOOD: Havi. Gentleman Friend. Delicious food they served me, with heaping helpings of warm hospitality. Ignite! Work the System Boot Camp! Talking to people who talk to the spirits! And, because I’m a sap, the Good is also (harumph) my tummy telling me it’s time to go home and me listening. We’ve had a long road, the two of us, and it’s good that we can finally speak the same language. Have a gloooooorious week, dearest Havi (& Co.); I’ll catch you on the flip-flop in the land of sunshine, fruit and nuts." - colleen wainwright

"Briana – Yeah. I don’t say it anymore, but every once in a while, I will catch myself thinking it. Noticing/acknowledging is the thing. 90% of it, anyway. Dave – Sticky! But evocative! Sheryl – Ah, yes! Aunt Julia! I send other people back to that well often enough. Should remind myself that it’s there for me, too. Emma – I am magic-with-a-”k”! :-)" - colleen wainwright

"Yay, Jolie! Can’t wait can’t wait can’t wait! Only I can. But really, I can’t!" - colleen wainwright

"I’ve never been one to turn down some good mothering action when the opportunity presents itself. Thanks for the virtual mom-hug. Much appreciated." - colleen wainwright

"Egads. I will overlook how scary it is to be called an anything guru, much less a self-dev one, but I am delighted to see you back and having gotten your sh*t done. Brava, woman! You're an inspiration. (And even Merlin says Inbox Zero is more about putting your attention towards what truly deserves it than getting your amount of read or unread emails down to a particular number.)" - colleen wainwright

"Thank you, all, for your great support and wisdom and insight! And Juan Carlos! Thank you for your honesty! :-) Yes, Ignite is like a slimmed-down version of Pecha Kucha (and thanks, Jeremy, for the pronunciation lesson). I got the opportunity to practice it twice before unsuspecting audiences, thanks to my friend, Sam Carpenter, and it went over reasonably well, so I feel a bit better about it all. Will practice a bit more and then LET GO. Because that’s what we do, right? You all rock. I am damned lucky, and I know it!" - colleen wainwright

The "all-but" (aka "music only") playlist is a must. - colleen wainwright

I've had this site bookmarked in my browser for years now. I figure that between the impending holidays and my ongoing purging, probably time to release it to the wilds. - colleen wainwright

Good round-up of lists from Valeria Maltoni, plus (as usual) good ways of thinking about lists. - colleen wainwright

The Wreck & Salvage guys say these tips rock. Who the hell am I to argue with that? No one, that's who. - colleen wainwright
