Learning To Speak
"WHITE TREE", 2002, 11" x 11" x 4", m/m
_____________________________
I just finished up my 2-day intensive on PUBLIC SPEAKING FOR PROFESSIONALS.
I jumped at the chance to do this as I actually get a great deal of pleasure speaking to groups of people.
But I want to know how to do this WELL so I don’t waste peoples’ time.
It was an impressively conducted, jam-packed event peopled with interesting and inspiring folks.
I’ll write more on this but today, as I recover a bit, I am struck by how HEALTHY I feel!
Tired but alive, engaged and curious as to the pleasure I took in using ‘life’ muscles I had all but forgotten.
It’s been a couple years of reclusion, seclusion and ‘wrap-yourself-up-in-a-blanket’ to conserve energy for the trip to the kitchen or desk..
Fully out in the world for the past two days, I remember myself as someone who has energy enough to care for herself AND some left over!!!!!!!!!
I am reclaiming health.
The crucial medication being CONNECTION.
I’ve taken time to reconnect with myself and because of those choices I now have it in me to reintroduce myself to the world.
Often, these choices have proved unpopular.
But wait! I am voting for myself, now.
SPEAK FIRST FOR THYSELF.
Only then, turn to your neighbor.
