Me, thats who. (Somebody, pinch me!)
I am really not into shameless bragging..but...this morning I finally got to give my second speech at Toasties. Three speakers are lined up each week, all three evaluated, and then the entire club votes. One of the other speakers is a seasoned guy (been a Toastie for 30+ years!) and to put it in perspective....he was dressed in western attire, and I truly felt like I was up against Mark Twain. (and that's putting it mildly) I mean, this guy rocks. A real pro. So, once he spoke I was sure I'd be a let down for the crowd.
Not so. (Somebody! Pinch me again!)
I get to keep the trophy for the week. It's sitting proudly on my desk at my grown up girl job. They said my speech was the caliber they look for in competitions. Oh. My. Ga.
*sigh* I'm walking on clouds today, people.
Rah, rah my sweetie. You are having one exciting week going for you. I knew that the speech you gave today was a "killer speech". Needless to say how proud of you I am.

Congratulations! You should be so proud of yourself! I think it's great that you're doing all these things to enrich yourself. I just returned from a business trip where I was a speaker at a conference. It was my first time doing something like that and I was terrified! Maybe I need Toastmasters!

Fantastic!!! You are so talented in soooo many ways! I find inspiration with every post you make. Unfortunately I rarely comment to let you know how much you enlighten my life with your blog.
Tracey, the skies the limit...you go girl!

That is so exciting! You really are an inspiration to those of us *ahem* of a certain age that are still trying to figure out what we'd like to be when we grow up. With each post, you continue to encourage me to try to live my best life, and to pursue my dreams fearlessly.
