Dead woman walking

So here I am manning (or womaning ?) The schoolswork stand at the Youthwork conference and it's fair to say I am totally shattered!

BUT, and it's a big one, it has been totally brilliant and well worth it. It's a total rollercoaster, from despair - trying to put the scaffold stand together; not understanding the plans, it having too many bolts and us all being too short to just brilliant times of sharing; amazing youthworkers who were really encouraging about the project and just so willing to share about their stories.

I think we've probably all found new strengths in ourselves that we didn't know existed before!

Will take some reflection and much recovery but good, good, good!

Oh good - I'm so glad that its turned out to be a positive experience. Have been thinking about you so much. (The scaffold stand sounds like something from Ikea!) Sometimes we need to be stretched beyond what we think we can deal with to learn what we are really capable of.
