In the past few months I've had the following cancer-related speaking opportunities:
A newspaper interview
A radio interview
A TV interview
A keynote speech
An interview for a documentary film
And I've yet to come away without wishing I'd have said something differently. In fact, I think that I've made some pretty big bungles.
But I'm not going to give up. Nor am I going to enumerate my mistakes, because I'm trying to learn from them instead of marinate in them.
Writing sure isn't easy but at least you get to make as many drafts as you want before you release it.
Pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone is a good thing, right?

Flying Our Kite. This was our one-and-only gloomy day; every other day was hot and sunny.

Wow--you guys go all out with kites AND sandcastles. Looks fun!
I'm trying to push myself past my little blogger comfort zone...so thought I'd drop by and say hello. Good luck with your public speaking.
Julee Ann,
We all have our little comfort zones, don't we?! I've been waaayy out of mine from time to time this year.
Thanks for "stopping by".
