I'm a member of our Toastmasters club at work - if you aren't familiar with it, it's an organization that helps individuals become better public speakers providing a friendly 'forum' for practicing our speaking skills. I gave my first speech on Thursday - the 1st speech is called an "icebreaker" and is supposed to be about me or a hobby, etc. So what was my icebreaker about? Being a mommy blogger, of course! I'm proud to say that my speech went muchhhhh better than I expected, I still need a LOT of work. The biggest piece of constructive criticism - watching my pace (no surprise since I'm a fast talker!). Anyway, I'm soooooo relieved to get this speech behind me!!!!
