Thank you Toastmasters

This weekend I was attending the local Kids Event at Belks Winter Haven where my two kids were modeling in the store fashion show. I was very excited to watch my kids work the crowd, I even arrived to the store on time (a first for me). My mother who was helping the event walks over and hands me a phone and says press this, this and this. I was not feeling very well and not prepared to speak to a crowd (but of course you can't tell your Mom no.) I had five minutes to be prepared to announce 25+ kids to a store full of parents and family; boy was my stomach is all jittery and my mouth is all dry. 15 minutes later the fashion show was over my fears were gone and I was glad I joined Toastmasters.
