be an inspirational speaker

I was going to join Toastmasters. I didn’t ever go. I chickened out! Guess I didn’t think I had anything important to say at that time.

There is a meeting in the morning. Am I ready?

until recently. Seems I had been silenced in a time of reflection. Actually proved by my my lack of entries here on 43 Things lately.

During my time of reflection I discovered many things to share with others that I had forgotten. I believe for me the true worth of my life is to share it to help others through tough times. What better way than to share experiences?

“learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”

John Quincy Adams, 6th President of the United States

I really enjoy inspiring people, woman in particular! I hope to be an inspirational speaker someday.

I have always enjoyed and learned so much for inspirational speakers like Wayne Dyer, Dr. Chopra, Christian Northrup, Carolyn Myss to just name a few. I love the energy and dynamics of a large group who are all on the same wave length – wanting to learn and grow personally. I would enjoy being a part of something bigger and connected with all in the audience.

to speak anywhere here in the wilderness. I recently discovered there is a vibrant chapter of Toastmasters here that meet early on Wednesday morning for breakfast.

I have never been to a Toastmasters club before…meant to go but would chicken out at the very last minute. Something about impromtu speeches make me nervous.

Can’t let that stop me…2008 is the year of action so I am setting my alarm extra early Wednesday morning.

Big changes are coming. I can feel it in the depths of my soul.

It must be I had to go to the wilderness to clear all of the chatter out of my life so I can actually hear from my higher power what is coming next.

I had forgotten about it until now. It seems that the most valuable gifts I have are hope, the gift of gab and a true love of life.

Even my last love recently told me he hates me because I am an unrealistic optimist in a world of realists.

I guess I should really do something positive with this talent. :)

considering what I went through the last 10 years it is a miracle I am still standing. A testimony to my faith and courage.

I was amazed. There was never a question of giving up. She suggested I write a book to give others inspiration.

She said this totally unsolicited on my part.

as my Dad used to say. He also gave me the gifts of Hope, Optimism and Empathy…

Put those together and the real things I need to be doing are becoming very clear.
