Growing up I used to see people on stage, talking and wondered how on Earth they could pull it off and remember their words. I knew this was something that was out of my league, and wasn't meant for me, or even something I wanted to do. How wrong was I? Not knowing that the universe had other ideas for me. Always wanting to push me, I got two separate invites for the same week to speak and I just said YES and worried about it when the time came! I know now if your passionate something (mmmhhhhh perhaps Monarch Butterflies LOL) & it's from the heart you can talk as much as you want. The speech was hard as it was personal, my journey and I am not used to talking about myself. It was also about Christchurch being home, and why I never left even after 3000 Earthquakes. The talk was completely different to what I am used to at schools in front of children and teachers that I am comfortable with. This was speaking in front of my family and friends that have supported me from the start and it was special plus many people that I had never met. I don't think I will ever write a speech 2 days before the event (I am so last min girl). The relief after my talk was unreal that I guzzled down nearly a bottle of red. As I was so nervous before hand because of the pressure I put on myself, that my memory ain’t what it used to be, remembering my speech They are from old beliefs of not being good enough, my dodgy accent, which I am proud off. I pulled it off in good old London style, even made a couple cry, but most of all I made them laugh just being myself. It was such an honour to speak after 3 amazing heartfelt humans. This talk gave me good ground for my next talk at a larger venue out of town, a few days later where I actually enjoyed being on the stage without being nervous and didn't want to stop talking. Just goes to show that I am ready for bigger things and grateful that people want to listen. I'm now ready and open to more opportunities for the growth for my soul. Book me for your next garden talk or Interactive school talk. 📸 - Humans of Christchurch Ōtautahi 1 became 3 yesterday. Lucas and Lola had a teacher training day, which was a great opportunity to bring them along to a Kindergarten talk. Always nice so they can see their mum talk about the life cycle and monarch butterflies and get involved speaking in front of an audience & help dress the kids up afterwards. Double treat as it was next to a beautiful beach so will could hang out and play. . . . #familyaffair #monarch #monarchtalks #butterfly #butterflies #butterfliesofinstagram #inspo #mariposa #monarca #education #dressup #proud #schooltalks #christchurch #nz #butterflymusketeers #savethemonarchs One lost caterpillar!
