I’m an honorary Kiwi! Let me tell you why.
Homer & I arrived in Christchurch very late on Friday night. We dropped off our bags at the hotel and went off to explore this beautiful city at 2:00am! I wanted be carefree & irresponsible, after all, this was the first time we’d been away together without the children. We walked around the Cathedral, peered into a pub, and shared a happy meal! We returned to the hotel and were fast asleep by 3:15am. Not exactly a great nights sleep as our world started to rock at 4:35am. Measuring 7.1 on the Richter Scale, we were thrown out of bed as the fifth floor of the hotel wobbled about like jelly!
Living through this experience has qualified me to be known as a ‘Quaker’! According to locals, the world is now divided into ‘Quakers’ (those who were there) and ‘Non-Quakers’ (those who weren’t) Was it scary? Yes indeedy, very! However, I would not have missed that experience for anything. An earthquake can certainly put things into perspective! (I am very blessed to have a husband, family and job that I LOVE.)
Unfortunately, the earthquake and subsequent aftershocks did a lot of damage throughout the South Island. Fortunately, it has happened now and the likelihood of another big one is remote. As a result, our Conference has been postponed until 9th & 10th February 2011. I have another 5 months to wait to meet my hero, Julie Morgenstern! I was so excited to be able to attend this year. I’ll be delirious by the time February rolls around!
In the meantime, we’re going to be very busy. You are the first to know about our brand new Training Courses & Workshops for Professional Organisers.
