I'm a 34 year-old male from Hamilton, Ontario so I told my story yesterday for the first time at a CMA meeting in Toronto So I've had it about a month to prep for this. However, I kept getting rescheduled which really wasn't a problem. But I wrote my story and thought about what I wanted to say. And I had it all down but once I got in there and sat down and all 20-some on people's eyes were staring at me. I kind of froze up a little bit and forgot what I wanted to say. So it was all Improv. But it was really nice that even though I froze there was about five or six people that shared that parts of my story really resonated with them and it made them feel that they were in a loan. So I need to work on my nerves before the next time I do is speak. And share my courage strength and hope with other people. It's a great way to do service and it really makes you feel special too. Cuz even though you're the one in the hot seat telling your story and baring your soul making yourself very vulnerable Is still empowering to be able to connect with strangers on such an intimate level? And share similar experiences with total strangers It's how we relate. It's how we connect. If I'm ever asked to do it again, I would totally do it in a heartbeat.
