I’ve always been the type of person that when someone says I can’t do something. I nod and say you’re-right and follow the rules. Sarah the Rule-Follower. Sarah the Afraid. Sarah the Worried. When someone tells me that something is too far past my reach I agree. Sure it is, I say. Those words mean [...]

Both the Q conference and Catalyst West are in my back yard this week. Both conferences are ones I would love to attend. And both are filled with attendees and speakers that are my friends, my heroes and people from which I would be able to glean wisdom and inspiration. And let’s face it, all [...]
