I second that, Karen! I love my bottle too, and feel "proud" when I sport it out in public. It's a good memory holder! (fluid and all that ;) ) Thanks AIN! Trilby

Glad you like it. We had the water bottles last year as one of our last minute money saving ideas... 1 bottle from the $ store each was a lot cheaper than paying some ridiculous amount for bottled water in the breaks... This year we managed to come…

I have no idea who (or how many folks) came up with the idea of giving us each a water bottle with our fabulous new AIN logo on it...but I'm LOVING mine. Every time I use it, I grin. Big thanks. Fab-u-lous! ~karen

Karen here - the procrastinator. I was going to offer some ideas and thoughts in relation to Caitlin's writing and perhaps I'll do it here so that we continue this conversation. I will add my own two bits worth in. Chris, is there a way for you to…

Fun to watch - thanks for sharing this. Can somebody who participated tell us the context for the exercise...it's a lovely exercise and I'm curious about the connections and learning that came from the rest of the debrief.

Transition Zone

So aware, in this moment, sitting at my computer in my office - clock ticking, inbox bursting, to-do list taunting - how challenging/intriging/tearing it is to step back into the real world (whatever the hell that means) after a few days of AIN playfulness.

I want to cling to the friends, old and new, the laughter and the learning and the magic accepting that unless I'm here in the moment, I'm not living what we teach/preach/strive towards.

Ahhhhh - the paradox of it all.

Hey you! Mille mercis pour l'amour. I love love! And from YOU, oy, such a special gift. The love. And you.

Glad I got the little added time in the taxi on Sunday with you. And thanks so much for the leads about writing an article for the Gergens.

hugs (with lifts, des fois)

Karen Dawson! Fabulous. That's Karen Dawson. Even moreso because she barely understands that she's fabulous.
