Right.

There was a lot of.

issues that seemed to be a little bit complicated or whatnot that had to work out.

So it was kind of, it wasn't ideal, right?

I much would have preferred this event be in Miami.

That would have been a lot easier and it wasn't.

So I made the commitment to go.

My son had to make the commitment to work things out for himself and empower himself to be more independent.

And I took the two hour trek out to Palm Beach.

Well, when I got there, I was so happy to get there.

Number one, I invited a lot of people and it was so great to see my team that put together and worked with me and helped me so much and empowered me to give my TEDx talk.

They were there.

And so I hadn't seen them together in a while.

And it was just such a cool, you know, it was what a cool night for us to be together again.

You know, it's just so nice to see friends that support you and cheer you on.

And it was so great to hear what had been going on in their lives.

And it was just cool, you know, always invite people when you have something going on, you never know who might, you know, have the ability to show up.

And it's just so great to

to be able to spend time with people that you wouldn't always get the chance to see and think and, and to spend time with.

So that was so cool getting to see friends I hadn't seen in a while.
