Renee is so awesome! I enjoyed hearing about her journey.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Thanks for listening, Russ!
DeleteYou guys'll be interested that on the Tonight Show, they do a #hashtag segment. I think I saw it on the AOL news or something and it was very funny. I think it's a regular feature for them now :)
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, you're VERY right in saying Ame Dyckman is genuinely a good person. She's a pal of mine, I'm happy/proud to say, and she is definitely one of the funniest, most intelligent, warm, thoughtful people. Love her dearly :)
Renee, I'm new to #kidlitart (LOVE IT!) and didn't know who you were. I clicked on this podcast, read it and it took at least 10 minutes before it registered that you were on Tara's blog and mentioned Fablevision. I can't say enough on how I feel about Fablevision, and now how much I'm impressed with YOU! lol I had no idea. Clueless here.
Same with YOU, Matthew! I've seen your name splattered all over the Twittersphere, and knew you were in education because of John Schumacher and Colby Sharp. (Ame introduced me to their world on Twitter---SO happy about it 'cause it led me to ALL the wonderful chats & people on Twitter.) Until Renee posted this link, I wasn't aware of Let's Get Busy Podcast! I can see that behind this window, you interviewed Kami, too! I will be downloading this to iTunes and will be listening to this great stuff while doing artwork. SO happy about it all. Thanks for this wonderful hour :)

Donna,
DeleteThank you so much for listening! It is indeed a very connected world we live in and I find new and exciting connections each and every day. Thanks for finding me, the podcast, and especially this truly special episode with Renee. She's such a talent on top of being such a very kind person. I look forward to tons of paths crossing in the future.
Sincerely,
- Matthew
