How I did it
How to joyfully assist with a Toastmasters Speechcraft
It took me
8 weeks
It made me
happy

How I did it: We followed the lead of the coordinator. She made an agenda and planned each session. We started out with just ice breaker speeches and Tabletopics for them, but the last half was almost entirely their mock interiew questions (almost Tabletopics) and their 45 second wrap-up. We had to be much harder on evaluating them than we usually are at a regular Toastmasters meeting. I did feel a bit picky, but then I saw the improvement the followin… Read how I did it…

How to have fun as I do Naturpasset (orienteering) 2009
It took me
2 months
It made me
happy

How I did it: First we had to decide which area to purchase a map/kit for. This was the first time we bought this one from Hörby, but it was for the forest near our home where we love to walk.It took us 5 outings to find all 30 markers. Each outing was about 3-5 hours. We took time to enjoy each outing by taking photos, picking flowers, talking and eating wild berries. Read how I did it…

Two of my sons and I went to watch the Miss Yuma County pageant for the very first time. What made it exciting and fulfilling is that we’ve been training the girls for 8 weeks for their public speaking skills, and tonight we got to see them use some of the skills we’d taught them. I was mostly impressed with the girls who got 2nd and 3rd. What alot they’ve improved in speaking skills since we first met them.
