I like to write but if you know me you know I like to talk even more. In fact, as a child, I was frequently called a jabber-box and told to shut up more times than I can count.
If you follow me on Facebook, you’ve probably noticed my header. (and if you don’t SHAME!!)
If not then I guess I should tell you that I was asked to be a part of the Virtual Inspiring Mom Bloggers Summit! Words can’t really tell you how excited I am about this but I am. I REALLY am, and I want YOU to be a part of it with me. Please don’t say no. It’s free and will only cost you a little time.
You may be wondering how this came about.
I attended Blog Elevated back in September and it was there that I decided I must venture into public speaking in 2015. The very next day I was approached by someone at a University about speaking to her students and the staff. Just a few weeks after I got home I was given an open invitation by the Mayor to speak at a Rotary meeting. How awesome its that? Life gives you amazing opportunities when you open yourself up to them. Now I have to take that giant leap and schedule these amazing speeches. But… There is always a but. I’m scared. I am more scared than I’ve even been in my life to do something. That’s saying a lot because I’ve jumped out of a PERFECTLY good airplane. THREE times.
I was also approached by my beautiful and talented friend Elayna, to “speak” at her VIRTUAL Inspiring Mom Bloggers summit. Elayna is a truly amazing woman with an incredible story. You should definitely get to know her. She’s not called The Positive Mom for nothing. The summit will be an amazing event and it will help me get my toes wet. I won’t be LIVE and I won’t have to SEE my audience. I guess in some ways this may be more difficult. I’m not really sure. I guess we will see.
I am beyond grateful that she asked ME to be a part of this. The lineup of women is incredible and I can’t believe I was included. We will all be talking about something terrible in our lives that we took and turned into something wonderful. I think mine is obvious but I would still be honored and forever grateful if you would sign up to attend and listen in on the calls. Did I mention that it’s FREE?
OK, Priscilla–I knew you back when and I know you now, through your blog and suchlike. You need not worry about speaking to others. Never mind about worrying over it–everyone worries in that situation. What I know about you is that you speak from your heart. Even if your nervousness shows, your attitude, your sincerity, will shine through. It does in your writing too! I’m proud of you! Go get ’em, girl!

Thank you SO much Dr. Past!! 🙂 I always appreciate your kind words and encouragement.
You are a wonderful speaker, Priscilla, because you speak with intention and from the heart. Your story is very inspiring, but it’s your intense desire to help others that connects you with your audience… whether you can see them or not. Thank you for honoring me with your participation in the summit! I love you! <3
