Hello, and welcome to my monthly e-letter, The Eleven. If you'd like to unsubscribe at any time, there's a convenient link below, and I hope you stay! 

It's been such a fine month since I last wrote. We had a great time at Sabby's benefit on 11.11 @ The Hollywood Vintage. Pics by all of our amazing photo-booth photographers, here!  We were able to raise a good bundle of money, signed up people to support gay marriage in Oregon and had a great time together.  

My Latest

My gift to you - faster learning!

Every once in a while I stumble across something that really takes me for a ride. I'm always interested in becoming a better, faster learner, and I've been captivated by Quik Learning. Here is video 1: information on how to learn faster. Part 2 on remembering names. Speed-reading is video #3. And, finally, brain-map is video 4. 

Try these out when you get a chance and let me know what you think. I've been walking around teaching some of these skills and having a blast increasing my reading speed and remembering peoples' names!  

I've really had a great year @ Albertideation. I've been speaking publicly in the last couple months and have been working with a great bunch of clients. I am honored to be trusted with peoples' businesses. 

Speaking of teaching - my last two FREE classes this year will be 12.17 at the Microsoft Store in downtown Portland (free breakfast), and 12.19 on the East Side (free lunch!).  

My website has undergone some changes recently, too. Please come visit and see what you think. 

Wileyware for the Holidays

Here are some of the projects I'm working on right now - visit the links to learn more.
1. Jane Turville of Wagging Tale Productions is creating a new film, The People Factor. Please consider donating to the creation of this important work.

2. It's always a great time for Wileyware. Marcia is doing incredible classes in her studio in Ballard, Washington - visit if you can. 

3. Helping friends: I've transitioned from helping causes to spending time, money & effort to extend a hand to friends who have needed help. It's not as sexy, but feels useful and important right now. 

4. The Portland Fruit Tree Project - Steve Bennett and I played for their annual volunteer appreciation evening - and I'd like to do more for these folks. Look for a fruit-tree grafting demo-party in the 2nd week of April @ my new home in SE PDX.

5. Settling into my new home :)

Thanks for reading and for your support of me and my work in the world. I couldn't do it without you.

Sincerely,

Albert

Happy Holidays
