Winning despite…
Hallelujah!
Had a great day today! WHOO HOOOOO! I delivered a presentation to a new group of people…not people who would typically be “my people.” Oh, the mistakes I made!! Some really big blunders like misreading the audience and the energy level I “should” have delivered from. But the point was I stepped out of my comfort zone, did the presentation and for the most part, HAD FUN! Using what I’ve learned through Speaking Circles, I felt a wonderful connection with some of the people in the group. I felt like I was very much myself – and some liked that, others didn’t and I realized (after some licking of my wounds) that was okay. I got some great feedback, including a couple of “ouches” that gave me great information for ways to improve. What a win!!
Perhaps the biggest win is that I did so much wrong and still had a good time being myself, sharing some of what I love and am learning about embracing change. I have a lot of room for improvement and I did okay (most of the feedback was positive).
Most importantly, I did my “job.” I sparkled. I couldn’t help it! Not everyone liked it or got it – and the ones who did, did. How perfect is that? This day has been a huge win and miracle. I feel like I’m saying ‘yes’ to life in a big way. I love it! This is what I want to share with other women – saying ‘yes’ to life!

Not ready to go "gently in to that good night?" Me neither! We have too much to offer the world to go into hiding! And every day offers new opportunities to come out of hiding and shine our lights.
