Nice note from a new Voice:

The workshop was potent, and so was the coffee.  I was up most of the night trying to process all the information, experience, wisdom, and talent from the Community Voices workshop. 
 
Why didn't we all come away with names and email addresses for all the other Voicettes?  I did get a few.  This is an interesting situation, at least according to my friends clamoring for details.  In a way, each new Voicette has been thrown, or dove, into a public fishbowl.   (I'm thinking of the fish in The Cat In the Hat, balanced precariously on the cake and the rake.) 
 
We aren't dancing with the stars, but we do have goals and strengths, ambitions and fears going into this year.  Part of me was screaming, "What in the hey-ho were you thinking?," all through your inspiring session.
 
I'm not asking for a public forum for the Voices as we learn to tap dance.  I'm just suggesting an online meeting place.  It doesn't even have to be a padded room.
