Yesterday, I spoke at the Tapestry Hospice Spring Conference. They've treated us like royalty, and we're grateful to them. About 40 staff and management were in attendance. They purchased 100 copies of my book and distributed them to all attendees. I believe that those not distributed today will go to other employees not present.
I've had a terrible challenge with insomnia for months, with only occasional reprieves. Thursday night was not a reprieve, and it showed in my delivery. However, my message seems to have been compelling enough that they received it enthusiastically, and they asked me to consider addressing two other conferences later this year. (They won't be in Florida...) With the additional challenge of jet lag to my insomnia, I want to see if efforts of my doctors to improve my sleep show any positive return before I decide on future engagements.
We did video the presentation, and I'd like to upload it to the Dementia Monster YouTube channel. But I made a number of errors in setting up the camera, and it will take some editing to produce something worthy of sharing. It may be that only the audio is salvageable. They also videoed the presentation, and I may need to ask to blend their production with mine. Or maybe it would be best to simply ask them if I can use their work outright.
We will be here a few more days enjoying sand and sun. They've asked me to do some group photos Sunday morning. The temperature is on the cool side, but the beach is absolutely beautiful.
