More to come on my exciting time at IAAP EFAM - stay tuned! It's funny how many great assistants I have met over the past 19 years in training and development. It was a great pleasure for me at yesterday's event to see many faces from my past and even from my own community. We caught up with each other, laughed, took pictures, and just had a good time. I have been so fortunate to meet and work with great admins like Terri, Connie, Ruth B, Dawn, and Cindy just to name a few.

I was at the super market this Sunday and I passed by this box of cereal and thought to myself – “Man, if there was only a way that by simply eating a bowl of those daily made you a star life - it would be so great!” It’s not that way though, is it?
