Public Speaking, My Story and Comfort Zones
I gave the greeting at church this morning. At our church, that doesn’t mean just standing at a door and shaking hands as people come in.

Over the last year different friends have encouraged me through my weight loss/fitness journey, and a few even telling me that by witnessing my transition, they’ve in turn been inspired to get more fit. Wow. While I wouldn’t call it a burden (seriously?! I’m the one that posts about it for everyone to read!) but… Continue reading
