If a tree falls in the forest...

As I continue my blog, I'm reminded of the question "if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?" Similarly, if a blog is written but no one reads it, does it make a sound? I'm told by women I trust and respect that getting a blog out there is worthwhile, so I persevere. If you hear any of this, please do add a comment so that I know there are others in the forest.

Lots coming up for Polish Your Star this week - I'm speaking to the Life Leadership for Women Manager's at St. Thomas on Wednesday and hosting the Polish Your Star/Betty Albitz table at the Top Women in Finance event before heading to Appleton, WI for an alumni board meeting. (I just wish all the office furniture was in place as ordered so I could attend to all of this without distraction.)
