Congratulations, Paul!

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Great news! Paul won an award at work for a project where he ROCKED. Basically they were having duplicate records in their data files and he wrote code for the software to get rid of them. Translation: he saved the company a TON of money. He got major props in front of a global audience by lots of big wigs and a cash award.

Tyler will be a vampire for Halloween and insisted on wearing his costume all day Saturday. Paul thought wearing the cape would help him run faster. Not even Jake buys it.

Hey! Check me out!

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

Couple cool things from work today. A few weeks ago one of my departments won an award: American Diabetes Association Provider of the Year. There was an awards gala at Washington Duke Inn. Check me out in the pic below. I got this from the ADA today. I was waiting to get a picture of one of my nurses who won the ADA Patient Care Award. It was a great night!

Then I got an email w the proof of an article I did. I can’t show the whole thing here b/c they are sending it out to all of their customers: INTERNATIONALLY! How cool is THAT?! Here is a piece (the blue on the bottom and right is the actual article I wrote):

Great conference!

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

Yesterday I went to the NC Conference for Women. It was VERY empowering and uplifting! I don’t have too much time to write this morning, but wanted to add a couple things:

Lisa Ling was the opening speaker. She spoke about global issues and how we have to act. She was a very persuasive speaker!

Gov. Bev Perdue was the lunchtime speaker. They closed the airport so she could not appear but they rigged it up so she could speak by cell phone from the car driving from opening the state senate to a friend’s funeral. She has renamed the conference NC Governor’s Conference for Women. V cool.

Another session I went to talked about how to not let fear stop you from what you want to do. A lot to do w increasing self esteem: Self-esteem comes from DOING Esteemable Acts.
