Gosh, I sooooo needed this video. Thank you, Jess Larsen, and thank you Michelle, Carolyn, Jess, and Tiffany for bringing Jess Larsen into my world today! I've been enjoying Spring quietly for a while but wanted to introduce myself and tell you all how much I'm loving it.
Jess, congrats on your foray into video. I just tiptoed into video myself. You are quite great on camera -- I think you're a natural!
My favorite takeaway from this piece: "respect your glowi-ness." :)
@Abby - Wow, thank you so much for your kind words. It's sometimes hard to see past the slip-ups and "ums" in our own work, so many thanks for your generosity. And I'm now considering a petition to Merriam-Webster for inclusion of "glowiness" into the 2011 dictionary. ;)
Thank you so much for that video! I really love to way you "glow" :)
(We're in the same business (birthing etc.) - I wish I had just half as much charisma as you do. Maybe some day I will.)
