ex(PR)essed

I want to write about The Compassion Forum, about the craziness that has been my life the past few days, but I don’t know how to begin to adequately capture the mix of relief, sadness, weariness, overwhelming joy, and fondness of this place called Messiah College that I feel right now. A stream of consciousness is the best this tired mind and body can do for now — more cohesive thoughts are sure to follow after I’ve had some time to sleep and ponder what an incredible opportunity The Compassion Forum really was for me.

I work with the best team of people ever. It’s a privilege.

The heels of my feet are literally bruised.

I have had a total of about six hours of sleep in the past two days. I spent more time at Messiah College than at home for the last four days.

I will never get tired of seeing Messiah College on television in relation to The Compassion Forum.

The PR geek in me loved meeting reporters from the NY Times, NPR, CNN radio (they interviewed me!), and all the local writers that I correspond with over e-mail but have never met face-to-face before.

Hillary looks lovely in yellow.

I did three television interviews in two days and still haven’t seen any of the footage. But, when a senior vice president from CNN tells you that she saw you on television and thought you did a nice job, that’s good, right?!

The CNN bus is a nice addition to Messiah’s campus.
