					<description><![CDATA[Kathy, I found this post helpful.  Pitching isn&#039;t something I&#039;ve focused on clearly yet, and your experiences and tips will serve me well when I do. Your pitching arm is definitely warmed up!  


And thanks to Gabriela for hosting you as her guest.]]></description>

Thanks, Chuck. And let me tell you this year&#039;s Pitch Slam was the best one yet- very organized and smooth-running. Great job!]]></description>

Dear Terre, Thank you for adding to the kind and generous comments. I have to admit, it took several years and lots of practice-pitching to reach a point of approaching the Pitch Slam as a learning opportunity rather than something to fear. I appreciate your comments very much. Thanks for stopping by.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Kathy, I agree with all the lovely comments above/below. Not only is this a well-written post and highly instructive but it includes a fearless heroine! Cheers to successfully manipulating the intimidating Pitch Slam in to an instrument to clarify your focus. You are a strong role model to us all.]]></description>

Thanks for stopping by and for your kind comments, Carol. I&#039;m glad you enjoyed the post.  IMO, finding the right pitch is a slowly evolving , ever changing process that takes a lot of thought and practice.]]></description>
