OMG I did it!

I wrote this week about stepping out of my comfort zone, and running two workshops for fellow teachers....and it is one thing to do it for people who sign up to hear you, or pay to hear you, but it is another to do it for people that are going to an in-service that they wish they had opted out of lol:) And they all teach so........YIKES lol:) But the day was magic, I was RIGHT where I was supposed to be in each moment......The keynote speaker had a story similar to mine.....but my heart sank some when I saw she was talking about self care and taking good care of you, etc.....And her takeaways from her own journey were like mine....all the same gifts :) And she did a beautiful job.....and watching her speak in the gym....to about 150 folks was a reminder of the places that I want to be, the places I am headed......and I have since connected to her......realizing our paths were meant to cross......and then I went to one of the first workshops.....on Holistic Health and it was great, we had a very relevant and powerful conversation there....and next I went to do Sound Healing, lying on the library floor, and it was amazing....very therapeutic......and I almost fell fast asleep! Then I headed to the room where my workshop was....and one of my younger teammates came with me....and for a moment I thought it would just be she and I.....because I was talking about the same thing as that speaker was, and that nobody would show up! However, pretty soon the room started to fill up! I ended up with 21 people! It was amazing.....And in a moment my imposter syndrome was gone, and I stepped into my heart and passion for it all, and I was off! It went so well.....I said all of the things I wanted to say, and how I wanted to say it! And it just flowed......and I connected with some of the participants.....and got contact info and it was lovely.....feeling like my message was felt and heard......and the second session felt good too....not quite the same content, because doing the same presentation back to back is challenging, I learned that yesterday:).....it is challenging to have it come out the same way twice.....but I still felt it went well and people seemed to like it despite their wanting to go home lol:) And we had a heartfelt conversation, and I shared all of what I wanted to share....because really all I want is to share the wellness and peace I have found with as many people as I can....realizing as a teacher, there must be a way to TEACH it....and that is what I will continue to try and do in all the work I do....and I am not sure that the passion and satisfaction I get from all the work I do.....both as a teacher and a coach, is ever lost on me:) But yesterday seemed significant....it was a place to stand up, and be BRAVE for me.....and not feeling nervous, like I have in the past, was powerful....:) I have come to love reading my story, and honor it, and look forward to turning the page, and seeing what else I will be up to lol:) What a ride! :) Tonight we hike below the full moon! Adventures abound:) Happy Wednesday:)
