"I cannot begin to express how inspired I was by your workshop on Sunday; it was a treasure trove of great conversation, useful information, skills, and insights, and a bright, lively, and knowledgeable group of people.  I only wish I had brought a video camera and recorded the whole event, so that it could go on YouTube and others everywhere could benefit vicariously from the phenomenal learning experience we all had."
