She went on to win her dream job of becoming a children's librarian.

Sometimes that's okay, though, but in my case, I really need to get back into singing lessons pronto.Misha Gerrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364173848456424521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5929885462293344093.post-52409383344306587712015-12-03T12:02:52.252-08:002015-12-03T12:02:52.252-08:00As I was reading this, I was thinking Toastmasters...As I was reading this, I was thinking Toastmasters!<br />I have an instrument in my closet I barely remember how to play.

But I chose the most successful group in all of Nashville--they'd won awards! Someone told me I need to find a smaller group that isn't in a corporate meeting room. Maybe one that meets in a restaurant or at a school...that's where you'll find the normal people who are scared like the rest of us!Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5929885462293344093.post-28032953720682878242015-12-02T07:40:17.039-08:002015-12-02T07:40:17.039-08:00Nice.

And teaching. I don't do public speaking as much as I'd like to, but such is the nature of life, eh? We only have so many hours and we have to pick a focus. <br /><br />Loved the tips!Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5929885462293344093.post-84828457631444644872015-12-02T03:09:03.213-08:002015-12-02T03:09:03.213-08:00That sounds like a lot of fun Margo.

Thanks for the reminder. Wishing you lots of fun over the coming weeks. Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14674648154579013578noreply@blogger.com
