Today was my very first ever keynote presentation and I want to thank all of you for coming out to support me. I have been on countless panels but wondered if I could keep your attention the entire hour standing there alone. You were so responsive, interested, and I attentive and for that I am very thankful. I have to admit, I was a little nervous when the staff had to wheel out the additional seating. I wondered how you'd receive everything I had inside to share. I just wanted to be sure that I could reach out, touch a chord in you, and help all of you personally.
