AND NOW FOR THE LOWDOWN ON LAST NIGHT’S SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT:
I wondered if they would like it.
I sweat like I was filming a Gatorade commercial.
I coughed like I was filming an asthma medication commercial.
My talk could have been longer.
My veal couldn’t have been better.
A nervous young scholarship recipient quietly told me that I had truly inspired her.
A kind older woman told me not to worry about my weight….that it would come off when I was ready. (thanks?)
I got flowers.
I got compliments.
I got happy.
I knew I was where I was supposed to be.
